Free speech is very important – Musk
Also during the discussion, Musk talked about the importance of free speech and his future plans for Twitter. He added that “at the end of the day, we just want a future where we are not oppressed.
Where our speech is not stifled and we can say what we want to say without fear of retribution”. Should be allowed what you want to say.
Controlled speech is the default, not free speech – Musk
The tech billionaire also said that free speech throughout history has been not only common but highly uncommon. So we have to work really hard to maintain it because it’s such a rare thing and it’s not the default by any means”. He added, “Controlled speech is the default, not free speech”.
