I was under the apparently mistaken impression that Twitter under Elon Musk was all about freedom of speech.

The account @JoJoFromJerz tweeted the question, "If you were to tell a loyal Fox News viewer and Trump supporter that Tucker Carlson hates Donald Trump with a passion, what would be their reaction?"

My response: "One hopes their head would explode."

And so I am banned.

I do recall hearing or reading Musk saying he was all about "free speech". OH well.

@Teirdalin Yeah. There are probably better instances of him not being nearly as "free speech" as claimed, though, than the one presented.

@Piper The entire reason Mr. Musk purchased Twitter in the first place is that he insulted another user and was made to delete his tweet.

@CorvusBlackthorne I agree wholeheartedly, that you being banned for that reply is ridiculous.

Teirdalin · 31-35

I would assume the ban is from something else.

CorvusBlackthorne · 100+, M

@Teirdalin No. They told me specifically that was the reason, and warned me to delete that specific tweet.

@CorvusBlackthorne Did this come from Papa Elon directly? He fired everyone else who would normally speak with users.

@SW-User No, I suspect it was automated.

Jefferson was a slave owning democrat for human rights.
See? After one lie, anything goes!
A privatized town square is totally compatible with free speech,! I just keep doing it.

Wishing death upon another human being violates Twitter TOS, You got what you deserved.

@SmileOnYourBrother I take it you are another person who has no understanding of hyperbole, metaphors, etc.

Elon Musk is a fraud and doesn't really support free speech. Twitter still sucks and censors people for bullshit reasons.

Teirdalin · 31-35

@AJS30 He's a fraud for tons of other reasons too. lol
