He's a "free speech for Elon" absolutist. I've never seen him defend the right of anyone to say something he didn't like on principle.



You need to provide more context. A tweet isn't news. Who is this guy, what did he say, how did that impact Musk?


The next tweet:

> Haha fine, I probably don’t disagree with you, but even if I did then still!!

Not a great example.


Here's a much more salient example: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1499976967105433600

Musk is clearly pro-Ukraine, but apparently refused to block Russian news sources on Starlink when asked to.


> Here's a much more salient example:[refusing to block Russian sites]

Starlink doesn't run their own DNS, so they're not going to block them there. And I would guess that such a simple site is hard to block by IP address - it's probably on shared hosting.

> Musk is clearly pro-Ukraine,

He is? He supported Ukraine giving a high profile plug to his project. If Kim Kardashian wanted to plug my product on her social media I'd do a ton to make it happen, but it doesn't make me a fan.
