Elon Musk Accused Of ‘Silencing His Critics’ As X Suspends Journalists (forbes.com) The right-wing lurch of X under Elon Musk \| US Election 2024 \| Al Jazeera X suspends 'White Dudes for Harris' account after massive ... The Washington Post Jul 30, 2024 — Elon Musk's X suspended an account for “White Dudes for Harris” after massive fundraiser raised $4 million for the Vice President. -- Elon Musk, King of Censorship: 10 Times the 'Free Speech Absolutist' Silenced Twitter Users (yahoo.com) Musk isn’t just censoring on behalf of government strong men, though. The tweeter-in-chief seems more than happy to decide what kind of speech is and isn’t allowed on Twitter based on his own personal opinions, and has a history of changing Twitter’s policies to silence people and ideas he doesn’t like. Take Musk’s growing obsession with the transgender community, for instance. He declared that the words “cis” and “cisgender” are now considered slurs on Twitter. These words are not slurs. “Cisgender” is a neutral, clinical term that means the opposite of transgender. There is no other well-known word for people who are not transgender. That’s peculiar behavior that seems to violate free speech champion Elon Musk’s own personal definition of free speech. In an interview last year, Musk said: "A good sign as to whether there is free speech is, is someone you don’t like allowed to say something you don’t like? If that is the case, we have free speech. It’s damn annoying when someone you don’t like says something you don’t like. That is the sign of a healthy, functioning free speech situation."
