Elon Musk's Wild Week in the Name of Free Speech
It’s not OK to yell “fire” in a crowded theater. But what about tweeting “civil war” during a moment of U.K. unrest on your social-media platform X?
That’s the question for Elon Musk this past week.
The chief executive of Tesla and SpaceX has fashioned himself as something of a modern day Larry Flynt: a rich guy willing to spend his own fortune as a defender of free speech even if it is offensive to many.
The late Flynt was a millionaire peddling porn. Musk is a billionaire peddling contentious social issues. They share a flair for attracting attention and taking on high-profile fights.
