> Mind you, 90% of the people complaining about Musk for things like "spreading conspiracy theories", "misinformation" or being a "sexual harrasser" have almost certainly voted people into political office who have all done the same thing.

What an absolutely convoluted way to try to discredit people who disagree with you.

I'm not "trying to discredit", I'm pointing out the hypocrisy.

A man can't own a company because he's a "sexual harasser", but I'm sure many of you did/would vote for Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, or Andrew Cuomo. All "sexual harassers". Just shows how much this is actually about Elon Musk's morals as opposed to just hating him because he said that censorship is bad.

I'm sorry, but that's just being stupid. Firstly, many of us are not Americans, so we don't vote for those people. Secondly, that's an election you're talking about, and in the US, it's either "your guy" or the other guy - voting for the "ideal guy" is the same as not voting at all. You can in fact think that someone is not morally a good person and still have a solid reason to vote for them. Case in point, Joe "at least he's not Trump" Biden.

Would you like to keep arguing why you have a point or do we stop here?
