Sen. Rand Paul Praises Elon Musk for Defending Free Speech

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) recently commended Elon Musk for his unwavering support of free speech rights, even in the face of potential backlash. Speaking to Jesse Watters Primetime, Paul noted that history will remember Musk as a defender of the First Amendment, much like the ACLU, NAACP, and the Left were in the past.

Paul specifically referenced Musk’s recent interview with CNBC during Tesla’s annual shareholder meeting, where he defended his tweeting, regardless of any negative impact it might have on Tesla. “I’ll say what I want to say, and if we lose money, so be it,” Musk told CNBC.

Paul praised Musk for his willingness to speak his mind and not back down to journalists who try to silence him.

Paul emphasized the importance of preventing the government from colluding with private businesses to limit constitutionally protected speech.
