> Posting public information publicly isn't doxxing

Sometimes it is.

For example, name plate on the mailbox is publicly available, but posting the address with full name online constitutes doxxing.

One guy once said, who never changes his/her opinion, is a moron.

Musk's definition of free speech in the past included calling his critics pedophiles and making false statements about his company's stock. Now it doesn't include publicly available information about the location of a vehicle he owns?

You might be referring to JM Keynes: "When the facts change, I change my mind."

The question is what facts are changing? Here, it looks like the only difference is that something bad happened to HIM.

No, I'm referring to the other guys.

People change mind even if facts do not change.

The mental gymnastics that folks go to excuse Musk's behavior will get ever more absurd.

Musk will continue to censor speech he doesn't like arbitrarily and use Twitter to promote right-wing extremists who will then hurt real people in the real world.
