Musk is a perfect, high profile example of how disingenuous most “free speech” proponents are.

The actual, unbiased, actual-town-square concept of free speech like being able to speak up against your government is good and important, of course it is - but that’s not what people are referring to on social media, imageboards, etc. They’re referring to being able to slur minorities without being criticised, trying to shut out that criticism by claiming they’re the victims being “silenced” (someone taking issue with your bigotry is not the same thing as suppressing free speech, nor is kicking you off a private platform) and wouldn’t bat an eye at shutting out “libs”.
