Rand Paul Praises Elon Musk for Defending Free Speech<\/h2>\n<p>Sen.

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.<\/p>\n<h3>Musk Defends His Tweeting<\/h3>\n<p>Paul specifically referenced Musk&#8217;s recent interview with CNBC during Tesla&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-microsoft-board-wanted-bill-gates-out-over-alleged-years-long-affair-with-employee-report\/\" title=\"BREAKING: Microsoft Board Wanted Bill Gates Out Over Alleged Years-Long Affair With Employee: Report\">annual shareholder meeting<\/a>, where he defended his tweeting, regardless of any negative impact it might have on Tesla. &#8220;I&#8217;ll say what I want to say, and if we lose money, so be it,&#8221; Musk told CNBC.<\/p>\n<h3>Thank God for Someone Who Speaks Their Mind<\/h3>\n<p>Paul praised Musk for his willingness to speak his mind and not back down to journalists who try to silence him. He also pointed to the release of the &#8220;Twitter Files,&#8221; which revealed social media collusion with the federal government to censor information and news stories. Paul emphasized the importance of preventing the government from colluding with private businesses to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rand-paul-history-will-actually-record-musks-free-speech-courage-to-reveal-inconvenient-truths\/\" title=\"Rand Paul praises Musk's bravery in speaking truth.\">limit constitutionally protected speech<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>New Legislation to Protect Free Speech<\/h3>\n<p>Paul announced that he has a bill that would prevent the government from colluding with the media to limit constitutionally protected speech. The legislation will define what constitutes constitutionally protected speech, using Supreme Court precedent to avoid scenarios where the government tries to hide inconvenient truths under the guise of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/state-dept-spox-largest-threat-to-u-s-national-security-are-u-s-cops\/\" title=\"State Dept Spox: \u2018Largest Threat to U.S. National Security are U.S. Cops\u2019\">national security threats<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Read More from the Washington Examiner<\/h3>\n<p>For more information on this topic, click <a href=\"#\">here<\/a> to read the full article from the Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>speech. Now, it\u2019s like the Left has become the oppressors of free speech, and it\u2019s the Right that\u2019s defending it.
