Elon Musk’s hypocrisy about free speech hits a new low

It’s ‘free speech for me, but not for thee’ in his world – he doesn’t like it, he sues

"The problem... is that attacks on a free and fair press are not rare at all. Indeed, such attacks have become distressingly commonplace.

When powerful people go after and outlets, they go after everyone. They go after publications’ readers. They go after voters who use information reported to make decisions...

"The Aug. 11 police raid sparked outrage among advocates and organizations across the nation. Officers seized computers, phones and other records during the search, a virtually unprecedented event in recent American history. Meyer’s home also was searched...

The Record said stress from the raid contributed to the sudden death the following day of Meyer’s 98-year-old mother, Joan, a co-owner of the newspaper."
