He created electric cars \u2014 albeit in a non-unionized setting \u2014 which the Left has made a cornerstone of its Green agenda. He embraced (and still embraces) social liberalism. His appreciation for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/going-green-the-physical-mental-and-emotional-problems-associated-with-marijuana\">marijuana<\/a> manifested itself even in his offer to pay Twitter investors <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/musk-in-talks-with-investors-to-join-his-bid-to-take-over-twitter-report\">$54.20<\/a> a share.<\/p>\n<p>But Musk has a libertarian streak that includes the right to freedom of expression, including on social media. \u201cI invested in Twitter as I believe in its potential to be the platform for free speech around the globe, and I believe free speech is a societal imperative for a functioning democracy,\u201d Musk <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/read-it-elon-musks-formal-letter-to-twitter-chairman-in-bid-to-buy-company\">wrote<\/a> in his letter offering to buy Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Musk, who has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/elon-musk-reveals-what-type-of-social-media-platform-he-is-giving-serious-thought-to-creating\">described<\/a> himself as \u201ca free speech absolutist,\u201d specified that this liberty requires viewpoint diversity. \u201cA good sign as to whether there is free speech is: Is someone you don\u2019t like allowed to say something you don\u2019t like?\u201d Musk <a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/elon-musk-free-speech-ted-talk-on-twitter-1848795067\">said<\/a> at a TED talk. \u201cThat is the sign of a healthy, functioning free speech situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Musk has said little about how he would change Twitter. His only public poll related to the site\u2019s functionality involved <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1511143607385874434\">an edit button<\/a>. But he has said, \u201cWe want to be just very reluctant to delete things\u201d and be \u201cvery cautious with permanent bans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That clashes with the trends of Twitter, which have become increasingly censorious. It banned former President Donald Trump for life over allegations his tweets could incite violence. It stopped users from sharing routine stories about Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors\u2019 real estate spree on the grounds that the story could <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/04\/13\/twitter-locks-out-jason-whitlock-over-post-criticizing-blm-report\/\">endanger<\/a> her life \u2014 although it contained no information doxxing her location. It barred users from sharing information about Hunter Biden\u2019s laptop on the grounds that it revealed personal information \u2014 although it allowed The New York Times to share the alleged details of Donald Trump\u2019s private tax returns.<\/p>\n<p>Both sides of these double standards favored the legacy media\u2019s narrative. Musk\u2019s deregulation would not even the scales between the corporate\/media\/entertainment\/political complex and Americans who embrace traditional values, but it would allow them to defend themselves. And that is too much. Musk may be \u201cinterested in making the platform more of a wild west of unrestricted speech,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/entertainment-arts\/business\/story\/2022-04-14\/lat-et-ct-twitter-elon-musk\">warned<\/a> Kevin Esterling, a professor of public policy and political science at University of California-Riverside, in the Los Angeles Times.<\/p>\n<p>But aside from favoring the First Amendment, which protects the freedom of the press, the media tried to gin up additional reasons to oppose Musk\u2019s future Twitter purchase.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reporters oppose billionaires owning media outlets, except for \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CNN\u2019s Brian Stelter seemed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/video\/2022\/04\/14\/stelter_a_lot_of_folks_saying_it_is_troubling_to_have_elon_musk_the_worlds_richest_person_buy_twitter.html\">criticize<\/a> the capitalist system of private media ownership. \u201cThere is also a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.thomrainer.com\/2019\/08\/six-reasons-why-people-are-saying-is-the-most-frustrating-comment-for-church-leaders-rainer-on-leadership-562\/\">folks out there saying<\/a> it\u2019s troubling enough that private companies control these key communication platforms around the world, maybe it\u2019s even worse to have the world\u2019s richest person trying to buy one and take it private,\u201d he said on April 14.
