Just to be clear, I'm not trying to say that Musk is confused about what free speech is -- I'm saying he's confused when he hears ideas that conflict with his worldview. He cannot process the idea that contradiction of his beliefs should even be possible and that drives him wild with rage.

I think it's important to understand that Musk doesn't think of most other human beings as "people" and he does not consider what they say as "speech". His worldview is entirely solipsistic and the only speech that exists is the speech he produces and the reflections of it that come back to him. To Musk, everything else is the braying of animals with diseased minds.

He was forced to buy twitter. He did not want it.
