    As Elon himself said in the early days of the Twitter takeover, “free speech does not mean free reach”.

    I understood that to mean “I want to claim I’m a ‘free speech absolutist’ while actually only promoting things I agree with”

      In concept I agree with him on that. I support your right to say awful shit, but I am not going to spread that message to others. Where Elon lost the plot was thinking of Twitter as a public square. It’s a nice thought, but it requires the whole platform to be 100% neutral and unbiased. So it’s all good to call Twitter the public square, but that’s a lot harder to take seriously when the guy in charge of policing the square is heavily biased.
