Ah yes, when I see that big rich man offering me $1,000 next month in exchange for $7 now, I too feel no suspicion!

Spot on mate, Elon is not a free speech advocate, he's a greasy snake oil technocrat whose virtues are summarily : taking taxpayers money for projects that people wouldn't pay for themselves given a choice, and coralling unassuming people into a digital gulag with his free speech schtick, only to then comply with a slew of Government diktat (RESTRICT act, Digital Services Act , Online Harms Bill, etc...) .

He's a fucking con artist and a grifter.
