Twitter is about selling ads. Corps don't want their companies appearing on the same page as a swastika. Musk is getting a lesson in where free speech idealism leads. It won't be too long until he is forced to rehire all the content reviewers he canned.
Free speech only extends so far. We can't yell FIRE in a crowded theater and what West was doing on Twitter was starting a fire. Musk merely put it out.
Suspend him, give him a time out until he can promise to play nice.
So much for the left's false claim that Elon would have no rules whatsoever.
Glad to see Elon allowing free speech up to just short of but not over the point where they break the rules and directly incite violence. Then they get suspended, per the rules.
Love seeing Elon be even handed and fair. Such a refreshing change.
BTW - Someone needs to get Kanye West some serious help very quickly. I think he "might" need to be baker acted.

Most of us knew, from the beginning, that you can't have a large social media platform like Twitter and not moderate content and put users on a time our or ban them for outrageous content.
Personally, in this case, I think he should step back and shine the light on this guy's tweets rather than ban him. Give everyone a good long look at who he is, and who is standing with him.
As Rush Limbaugh used to say, when your opponent is self-destructing, get out of the way.
The case could be made, that Musk is protecting Ye from himself and giving him time to reconsider showing who he is so clearly. Take it easy, take it easy, Ye, keep that to yourself.

Yes - we did. However we have the ultra right who were SCREAMING about free speech and how free speech should NEVER be contained.
Where are all the extreme right now? Sitting here defending musk it seems.
