His whole history proves that his moral principles go first, not money.

He doesn't care if his defense of free-speech causes him revenue losses on X.



Try tweeting the word cisgender. That alone should be the end of all association about Musk and free speech.


A simple search of twitter for "cisgender" shows that the word is not banned


Searching for it is the only way you can find the word, because tweets containing the word are "reach-limited" (and appropriately labelled to the author, so they are discouraged from using that "slur" ever again).


worth pointing out that banned and visibility limited in certain scenarios are not the same thing, which might be causing some confusion in this thread.

Having moral principles is completely orthogonal to being ethical. Ayn Rand had lots of moral principles and she was still a reckless sociopath. One of his moral principles is that greed is good, and his actions certainly are consistent with this one.

He did lose a lot of money on Twitter, but you can hardly call that him following his moral principles, considering how things actually happened.

Whose free speech is he defending? There is no evidence that he champions free speech, merely that he supports however agrees with him and edgelords. He is more than happy to harass, intimidate, bully, and be a general nuisance to those whose opinions he finds objectionable.
