This is observably what Musk seems to think free speech means when _he_ has the floor, but nobody else.

- Publicly attacking a man as a pedophile because he dismissed his submarine as an unworkable solution during the Thai cave rescue efforts.

- Cutting off analysts during a Tesla call, calling them boring and then soliciting fluff questions from the Internet.

Musk, like most free speech absolutists, is a hack. It's an argument used to allow _them_ to say words without repercussions.
