@DavidSacks I wasn’t complaining about bans. I was pointing out that Kathy Griffin was trying to steal Elon Musk’s identity. Because that is a claim you made to argue that Griffin’s conduct was not free speech under the First Amendment. And you are wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@DavidSacks Well, Musk previously said that he is for allowing all speech that isn’t against the law. The reality is different. I’m not sure what it means to have content moderation principles that are “inspired” by the Supreme Court but I guess we’ll find out — PolitiTweet.org

Also Kathy Griffin does not have her account back https://t.co/8wsLdUmZtp — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@DavidSacks The takeaway here is that Musk is not a free speech absolutist. Especially when people start to make fun of him. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@DavidSacks Musk can set the rules. My point is that this rule would prohibit speech that is protected by the First Amendment. You falsely claimed that such speech is not protected by the First Amendment. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@DavidSacks Parody is protected. Kathy Griffin was not trying to steal Elon Musk’s identity. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@DavidSacks You can set up whatever rules you like and enforce them how you’d like. But what you are describing has nothing to do with free speech or the First Amendment, which protects parody. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

No, you misstated what is protected under the First Amendment, citing a Wikipedia article. I corrected you, citing a Supreme Court case. Now you inventing positions I do not hold to argue against because you are embarrassed. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@DavidSacks He can make up whatever rules he wants since this is his website but parody is protected speech under the first amendment whether or not it’s labeled parody. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

This is one of the brilliant tech bros Musk has brought on to help him run Twitter His knowledge of the first amendment apparently consists of reading a Wikipedia article and it shows Parody is protected speech under the First Amendment Look it up: Hustler v Falwell (1988) — PolitiTweet.org

One free mental health tip is to avoid election models and poll aggregators. The people who make these things don't know what is going to happen. And you will find out the actual results in a few days. — PolitiTweet.org

"Some Eli Lilly employees have requested transfers from the company’s Indiana operations following the Republican-controlled state government’s enactment of legislation to ban most abortions in the state." https://t.co/LVq2XmgPNp — PolitiTweet.org

At first, I assumed it must be a parody or something, but it seems absolutely sincere. Are people cool with Ron DeSantis saying that he is a prophet sent by God to impose various right-wing policies? Seems like a bold move — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@RonDeSantisFL It is literally a rewrite of the Bible. In the original Bible, ALL LIVING CREATURES were created on the sixth day This DeSantis ad rewrites the Bible to say that God came back for the 8th day SPECIFICALLY TO MAKE RON DESANTIS AND HAVE HIM 'FIGHT' — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

In 1966, John Lennon said that The Beatles were "more popular than Jesus" and it was a major controversy. Today, @RonDeSantisFL released an ad which essentially says HE IS JESUS and was created by God on the EIGHTH DAY — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

Biden didn’t say anything outrageous about coal. He said we need to shut down coal power plants, which is true. West Virginia has 1.8 million people and 11,000 work in the coal industry. Coal is responsible, however, for a large percentage of Joe Manchin’s wealth — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

This is absolutely unhinged. DeSantis produced an ad claiming he was created by God "on the eighth day" because God needed a "fighter" — PolitiTweet.org

Or maybe the fact that you, @elonmusk, are acting as the personal concierge for election deniers like @RealMarkFinchem https://t.co/TZEMPcwCjd — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

Just spitballing but maybe it has something to do with you, @elonmusk, tweeting a vile conspiracy theory about the assault on Paul Pelosi and then pretending it never happened? https://t.co/TZEMPcfzhd — PolitiTweet.org
