>On the other hand, blacklisting Dr. Jay Bhattacharya for saying things about Covid that turned out to be far more correct than what the CDC was saying at the same time is indeed going far beyond the law and also harming all of society: https://www.foxnews.com/media/twitter-files-confirm-stanford...

This is textbook whataboutism, using Fox News no less. It's irrelevant to the discussion about Musk's hypocrisy on free speech, which you also ignored in your previous comment:

This isn't "textbook whataboutism" which to you seems to be just a thought-terminating cliche.

They also never ignored "Musk's hypocrisy on free speech." Simply because he isn't being hypocritical here.

False.

> using Fox News no less.

Speaking of irrelevant to the discussion, this sentence fragment wins first prize for most irrelevant.

> It's irrelevant to the discussion about Musk's hypocrisy on free speech

False. I am comparing the type of speech that is "far beyond the law" that Elon Musk is now allowing versus the type of speech that he is not.
