I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine
Came here to point out that in most of the country there is no law requiring one to get vaccinated against a possible deadly case of covid19. In most areas it is however against the law to attempt to commit suicide. So therefore Elon can think whatever the fuck he wants, same as me.
At present I am adding up my internet bill, computer cost, electrical costs and a few other related things to try and figure out just exactly what my "free" speech above just cost me...and then I'm going outside and tan my balls while reading memorable tweets from MTG and look for recipes for Republican Gazpacho.

there's a factor this does not seem to capture well, and i only notice because i see npr near the top and center. the factor that's missing might be called "manipulation by omission", or something.
i listened to npr pretty much exclusively for news for years leading up to the 2016 election, for the reasons implied by this chart and also because some of the non-news content appealed to me. but when that election cycle started gearing up, i realized i was repulsed by hilary clinton, and interested in understanding bernie sanders in a fuller way before deciding how to deal with my vote. then a funny thing happened. bernie, who had been getting plenty of coverage for non campaign matters, disappeared from npr. hilary was omnipresent. almost as omnipresent as...trump. it was a idiotic as a hollywood hero movie. the strategy of highlighting only one democrat candidate, while putting the brightest spotlight of all on a ridiculously caricatured straw man as her opponent, while excluding all coverage of any other serious candidate on either side....it all just crystalized then for me, and i haven't listened to npr since. the richest irony is that all of the left leaning media seemed to do this, believing they could cash in on the spectacle of trump for traffic without risking any vulnerability in the election. but as some obscure writer said in the first century, "you cannot worship god and mammon". cash won, and as a consequence, so did trump. thanks a lot, liberal media, for giving us trump.
If Musk buys Twitter I may dedicate my life to tweeting at least one vile or derogatory post about him, Grimes, his nameless children, Tesla, etc. every day. Would be an interesting test of the douche nozzle’s commitment to free speech absolutism.
Anyone claiming that progressives are the only ones who stifle expression (which I agree is a problem) isn’t paying attention.

Some Pressing Questions for Elon Musk as He Pursues Twitter
The Tesla C.E.O. has offered forty-three billion dollars to buy the social-media platform, but basic questions about his views on online misinformation and incitement remain unanswered.
But you are the one who initiated this topic, which suggests you care. Why?

Tomorrow is Musk's favorite day (4/20). Expect him to shake shit up again. Should be exciting.

Soooo, 28 posts after you initiated this original post? ok....
Naw...
since you took it there, enlighten me (and everyone else). What are these damning results? I'm curious as to which direction you're headed with this....
edit: chances are we're pretty damn close on the "belief system" spectrum, I just try to look at things objectively....I said try...

The chart was made by a self proclaimed liberal. But backed up by 'reasonable methodology'
All ratings were from humans with different political views(left, right, center) let it be in the record that Mitt Romney would consider himself a principled conservative.. lol. So ya it's a biased chart considering how many legacy media sources are at the top.
