What does the phrase “free speech absolutist” mean to you?
He’s described himself as one, and I can’t see a way to square the idea that he says he is a free speech absolutist with the excuse that free speech is hard to regulate in the real world. He’s either a moron or was incapable of understanding even first level consequences of his actions or he’s an actual moron

> It is disingenuous to argue that "free speech" includes all speech.
Elon Musk himself argued this exact specific thing is included.

I missed it if the jet tracking accounts made threats
People making bomb or mass shooting threats get arrested all the time. You shouldn't have people fear for their lives.
