    I think its strategy is just “temper tantrum”. Think of the neighbor kid that is annoying and maybe even a bully, but he has owns the only basketball in the neighborhood. He holds everyone else hostage to get his way.

        I don’t get the idea behind X. Laissez-faire free speech advocates are well prepared for an argument about the benefits of it, but as soon as its put into practice quickly run into the realities about the dark side: hate speech, exploitative content, terrorism conduit, usurping by propaganda organizations,etc. Its not like these lessons have to be learned firsthand. Online community management face these every single day and have made compromises to balance the needs for expression with the need to limit evil.

        Musk seems to have completely ignored all those that came before and can only learn the lesson by self inflicted wounds.
