Dare I say “your kind of thinking is the problem.”
I’m not supporting musk here, it’s a matter of jumbling so many ideas together regarding a man’s freedom of expression.
> At what point should humanity put a limit to the power an individual can wield?
LAW is that limit. In an ideal world a person can do whatever the f she wants as long as it doesn’t actually violate the embodied right of some other, and “law” is the only f-ing thing in the entire world of humans which allows one to interfere with another’s “power.”
Read some Ayn Rand or something (on dynamics of personal power.)
