Musk and the right have for years claimed to be free speech maximalists.

Now Musk has openly censored the press (after being triggered by some news coverage) and threatened to ban those who posts links to other social media platforms.

The right’s response to all of this brazen censorship? It is mostly cheering him on.

No one has a right to be on a private company’s platform. But the hypocrisy is astounding.

@oliverdarcy Freedom of speech is just a right-wing dogwhistle for power and I wish I realized that long ago back when I thought pointing out their hypocrisy could at ALL shame them. Damn it.
