    Advertisers are just using their free speech to decide they don’t want to pay to have their speech presented next to hate speech. Nobody’s silencing anyone. Elon could do just fine with no ads, he’s just greedy and also wants hate speech to be profitable.

        That’s fair. I wish that not every piss he takes would make headlines, because the fatigue it creates means that the pieces that are genuinely worth reading end up in the same pile as the ones that are shit by default.
