I just had first-hand experience with Elon Musk's New Era Of Free Speech on Twitter [View all]

OK. so...

...Musk sends out a tweet saying "We need more love, less hate on Twitter."

So I replied and said that wouldn't happen if he reinstated Trump, that he is incapable of "less hate, more love," and that if he came back and his followers flocked after him, Twitter would be happy hour at the skinhead bar.

So Musk reported me for "hate speech."

And Twitter gave me the option of being banned...period...OR deleting my tweet as "an admission of guilt," followed by a period of 7 days in the penalty box, where i can read tweets, send private messages to my followers, and nothing else.

This is what "free speech" looks like, Elon Musk style.
