“Musk believes your right to speech ends where his feelings get hurt? Certainly! ”

This is totally incorrect.

Free speech in this case is an opinion. The right to free speech is not freedom from consequences for voicing opinions.

You don’t have a right to not be banned from Twitter. Musk has been saying he thinks the way Twitter bans people is unhealthy for democracy.

Point me to the place he’s said you have a capital-R Right to not be banned from Twitter.
