Answer these simple questions...

How do you judge this rule by itself, on merit? Would you have judged this rule differently, had Musk not be attached to it in any way?

The point being, you fail to separate actions and outcomes from the person. Since you already decided that he's an asshole and this narrative cannot be broken.

Had another person come up with this rule, then it would be seen as a cool, progressive anti-doxxing measure. Wonderful.

If you don't see an issue with this type of clouded thinking, then you've been fully indoctrinated in Twitter discourse.

Apply the same logic to yourself. You worship the ground Musk walks on and he can do no wrong. Everything he does has a reasonable explanation to you, but if someone else did it then it might not be so reasonable. You have been indoctrinated by a conman and are projecting your psychosis onto other, more reasonable, people.

That's funny, because I actually dislike Musk and see some of his actions/statements as harmful.

So this assumption that I'm pro Musk is your limitation in seeing the world in a pro/anti-Musk simplistic binary.

You're a product of the culture wars. You think in binary narratives.

"I actually dislike Musk"

You say that but your other opinions say otherwise. It's obvious to everyone, like a child lying and thinking the adults can't tell.

The issue is Musk literally tweeted support of the account and said it was allowed to exist. Then banned it for existing. Then made up a rule afterwards. Those are facts, why debate hypotheticals.

The issue is that you failed to answer any of the questions. Hence, you're unable to separate a person from an action. You must marry them into a narrative. That's Disney thinking.

Because the topic isn't whether Musk is an asshole. The topic is about banning a (re)publisher of information that leads to potential safety concerns.

If you think this policy is a good idea on merit yet a bad idea solely because it came from Musk, then you're clouded in judgement.
