A person praising Vance and Musk obviously doesn't value due process, judicial oversight and ultimately decency.

Please don't make everything into us versus them.

Also that paragraph is very critical as far as praise goes.

> don't make everything into us versus them

Why not? There are real people out there who wish us harm, are we supposed to just take it?

You are right. But there is a point here that international harmonization and compromise is a solution here. Which is not exactly a strength of an America First policy.

Elon/Thiel/Miller are the de-factory leaders of your country, and Trump and Vance are their puppets.

The "free speech" argument worked in his favor this time, so... Let's see if he still uses this card the next time something inconvenient comes up.

On the other hand, ad hominem arguments are never a mark of intelligent thinking.

I agree. Musk calls for "free speech" while censoring his own AI and manipulating elections. There goes my respect for this CEO.

[Hamuko]

Maybe the free speech he was thinking of was Grok dressing people in microbikinis. I think that's Elon's favourite free speech too.

His argument of “free speech” has zero meaning when “shouting out” JDV and Elon. What a joke of a CEO
