Elon Musk wante to prosecute those who people participating in an advertiser "boycott" of his social media app, X

In July, tech billionaire Elon Musk said he hoped some states would consider criminal prosecutions of people participating in what he called an advertiser “boycott” of platforms like his social media app, X.

In October, Musk turned his attention to a former State Department official, Victoria Nuland, saying she should be “prosecuted” after she went on television and criticized him as a tool of the Kremlin.

And then last week, Musk revived a long-running feud with a group that monitors hatred online, the Center for Countering Digital Hate, saying that its members should be prosecuted for “their many crimes.”

Musk, the world’s richest person, has in the past two years called for several of his opponents to be prosecuted, and it’s something that free speech advocates say they could overlook if he were only an ordinary private citizen.

He believes in Free Musk Speech. He believes in the Free Musk Market. It's very refined apartheid.

Merchandisers who fill the needs of their customers survive nicely,.. those who fail to keep abreast of the needs of their customers fall by the wayside, generally don't succeed in the longterm.

Does Eloon want a nap in his little pink saferoom and cuddle up with his Winnie the Pooh blankie ?
