    What? Anyway, I can’t really tell what you’re saying. Hope you have a lovely day too.

      I don’t agree with the guy above, but what he’s saying is, that he never commented on Musk’s free speech. He’s talking about free speech in general for the regular users on social media platforms.

      And I have no idea where he’s going with the Europe talk. Sounds like he never lived there, that’s for sure.

        The gist is hate speech is not protected in some European countries. For instance it is straight up illegal to be a Nazi and say Nazi propaganda in Germany.

        The fear is the “left” is going to ban hate speech and they won’t be able to say racist and sexist things anymore.

        I read it more and gathered that, but it still makes almost no sense as there’s the huge distinction between government restricting your speech and other people reacting to it. Plus, Musk is nowhere near a champion of “free speech” and to think he represents the principle in good faith is a severe delusion.
