Thoughts? The guy is obviously a sick, sick puppy (his dream of a TradCath dictatorship is particularly outrageous) but if Elon wants X to truly be a bastion of free speech, he doesn't really have a choice now, does he?

[DaleCooper]

It further destroys Twitter and further destroys whatever is left of Elon's reputation. Excellent news!

[Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God]

As has been mentioned before here, tweets critical of Elon Musk have been deleted and there has been censorship of left-wing journalists and activists as well. He is nowhere near being the "free speech absolutist" he claims to be.

[Beet]

A Mexican Nazi? Doesn't he realize they hate him too?

[SnowLabrador]

Crickets.

[GoTfan]

I'm sure the media will cover this somehow /s

[DrScholl]

Racist White South African behaving according to the standard.

You can take the boy out of the Apartheid but you can't take the Apartheid out of the boy.

He would consider himself white. Latin countries have race dynamics just like America does. Mexico has white racists, Cuba has white racists. Where do you think Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio got it from?

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

Another triumphant step toward's Elon real goal: ensuring that Xitter's only remaining advertiser is one selling swastika-shaped erectile dysfunction pills made out of gold.

Fuentes is not really that much more hateful towards groups he dislikes than your average Twitter leftist, it's just that their bigotries are more socially acceptable.

[Electric Circus]

It's been full of people like him for a long time, to the point that they shape much of the conversation there, but many of you still treat it like it's the news.

[Fuzzy Bear]

Fuentes is as entitled to a platform as anyone else.  If you don't like what he says, don't follow him. The people tearing civilization apart on our campuses are all on social media platforms.

Or, not? Maybe literal Nazi sympathizers don't deserve that platform on a private website? Or at least Elon Musk can stop cracking down on leftists and be a true free speech absolutist.

This cannot be reiterated enough

If he breaks the rules, he can be banned there. 

What leftists has Elon Musk cracked down on?

Luckily the influence is far less than it was 5 years ago or even 10 years ago.

Right wingers have yet to destroy a site in the manner the left has Reddit. Hilariously, some still even refer to it as a conservative site.

Yeah, this was a little over the top. Should have said far left Twitter user, though I assume most here would still disagree.

LOL what? Anything vaguely critical of leftist social narratives gets downvoted to oblivion in basically every major sub. Same for any criticism of Biden, unless it's criticism from the left in a sub where the far left dominates. It's not like old YT where dislikes were simply visible, your post gets hidden and you have to click to see it. Conservatives don't even bother posting anything political on 95% of the site anymore, chased away to their own special subs which get banned half the time. On sites that lean right, such as YT and 2015-2017 Twitter, leftists have never suffered the total annihilation cons have on Reddit.

How about some examples of these "vaguely critical of leftist social narratives" posts that get downvoted? With links.

Honestly r/politics is pretty much r/DNC. But it's much more establishment Democratic narratives that are the most popular. r/worldnews right now has many posts about Russia/Ukraine, none on Israel/Palestine, I guess the latter is more uncomfortable to talk about for Democrats. I don't use Reddit that much anymore for politics, but it is ironic that the whole site did a hyper spaz over one interview with Jesse Jackson in 2015 and forced out Elaine Pao as being too far left, and the boring white guy Steve Huffman comes in and basically over the course of a decade, methodically nukes almost anything political on the site that isn't your standard MSNBC viewpoint.
