He follows the laws of other countries when in other countries just like the rest of us he doesn't make the laws for other countries.
Elon Musk is pro-Putin, pro-Erdoğan and his "Free Speech Absolutism" goes away if he can help right-wing dictators making money off them. Pretty much what you'd expect from someone who grew up the son of a millionaire under South African Apartheid!
Mehdi is such a plonker
Musk also consolidated his businesses under one big umbrella. Will this mean the government grants and contracts to Space-X will prop up Twitter?
Elmo is a sadistic narcissist at best - a sociopath at least.

Quick to jump to conclusions when they are what you hope for.. unfortunately does make you look like an ass in the longer term (well 1 day in this case 😂)
Replying to @stillgray
We’ve pushed harder for free speech than any other Internet company, including Wokipedia @jimmy_wales
You such have a huge 👏 for your beyond imagination free speech!
