Elon Musk Seemingly Voted Out as Head of Twitter—Now What?

Robert Spencer-Opinion : Dec 19, 2022  PJ Media

...So is Musk giving up? If so, it will be a tremendous blow to the freedom of speech in the U.S. The other social media giants are still censoring patriotic voices as lustily as they always have. If he really beats a hasty retreat, once again the authoritarians will have won the day and control all the major means of communication.

He may be joking. He may be planning to step away from day-to-day operations of the platform and leave it to a like-minded person. Or he may be tired of all the abuse and threats, which were only going to increase the longer he pursued his free-speech agenda. If there was any doubt about David Horowitz's dictum that "inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out," there isn't any now. Back in April, Musk tweeted: "By ‘free speech', I simply mean that which matches the law. I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law. If people want less free speech, they will ask government to pass laws to that effect. Therefore, going beyond the law is contrary to the will of the people." That this was remotely controversial was bad enough in itself. Even worse is that Musk now, after just beginning to restore the freedom of speech on Twitter, faces government investigations, doxing, and worse to come.
