So what you are saying is that the original poll ... https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1507259709224632344

>Free speech is essential to a functioning democracy.

>Do you believe Twitter rigorously adheres to this principle?

70% of people, including Musk and the consequences promised are all just plain wrong.

Clearly the the government (local, state, or national) is not punishing the speaker of any tweets, never has done, doesnt have any intention to etc - so what is the big deal, who are we "saving freedome of speech" from?

Also last time I checked, being critical of one's employer is neither a crime nor a violation of any employment contract that I have ever signed. Its a bad look sure, but to be honest it is boardering on a 1984 thought crime if you are instantly fired if you think your boss is a bit of a dick.
