The concept of speaking freely is not exclusive to legislation. Musk specifically bought this platform because, according to himself, he saw it as an important place for human discourse and the freedom to speak your mind was being inhibited by the policies around moderation. Which is ironic because he implements policies that ban you for speaking out over arbitrary topics while the previous policies simply banned hate speech.

Musk couldn't care less about free speech. He has implemented a policy that bans you for using the word "cisgender" while he responds to nazi propaganda with personal admiration.

Pretty much. Meanwhile other stores engage in actual behaviour that deserves an anti-trust lawsuit like buying up developer studio's and making their games exclusive to their own platforms. Or paying devs to make games exclusive to their store temporarily. You know, things that actually screw the consumer over.

Valve has been the market leader for years and still hasn't let the consumer down. Their business strategy comes down to offering us the best possible service. Meanwhile crappy stores like Epic Games try to lure you in with free games and timed exclusives and I still gave up on their featureless mess of a platform.

Civilians? Never heard of 'em!

Criticising Judaism doesn't make you an anti-semite. There's valid criticisms to be raised against most religions, this can be done without resorting to hostility or prejudice.

It's more than odd, it's deception. He has been talking to his donators as if the money has been going to charities for years. He has named specific charities that haven't received a single dime from them.

He's already caught in a lie. Even if his unbelievable story that he, the director of the charity, was unaware the charity never did anything charitable for as long as it has existed (this already makes him guilty of failing the donators by incompetence), he still lied about knowing where the money went for all those years to the donators and CONTINUED TO DO SO AFTER HE ADMITTED HE KNEW ABOUT IT.

Now he claims that he has been looking for worthy charities for over a year while he could easily just donate the money to the charities he has been talking about for years already.

Now imagine if one of those kids is gay... I'm so happy that my parents aren't human waste.

You can hire way more than that, people don't work 24/7, but I assume Bezos' income in this post isn't based on a peasant workweek.

Hilarious mistake.

I suppose this would have been effective if even a fraction of the Republican voterbase was reasonable.
