Free Speech at Its Best? “Elon Musk” is Having a Lot of Fun Roasting Mark Zuckerberg… and Elon Musk

I must admit, the little red devil perched upon my left shoulder loves the new X… and dare I say… under the leadership of Elon Musk.
Not always a popular opinion with people who think he’s the devil incarnate… and this isn’t to say that I love everything he does. Actually, a lot of what he does is rather nauseating.
However, the platform itself is anything but boring these days… and a bit of controversy makes the world go ‘round. As long as no one gets seriously hurt, that is.
After Elon Musk notoriously bought out Twitter, recently rebranded as X, he vowed to make it a place where free speech would reign supreme. He’d been a fierce critic of what he deemed as censorship by Twitter under the direction of former CEO Jack Dorsey.
True to his word, after acquiring Twitter, Musk reinstated many accounts that had previously been suspended, like Mike Lindell and Jordan Peterson, and invited back arguably one of the most divisive personalities ever, former President Donald Trump (who said he was just fine sticking with his far-right Truth Social platform.)
