Second Smartest's finger is on the pulse here. Musk is playing to the crowd while in hot pursuit of a much bigger agenda. Why does a self-described free speech absolutest need to poll the mob for permission to cease censorship? Why, when the mob says okay, is the ceasing so partial, so qualified, and so painstakingly slow? Why do those who were wrongly censored in the first place have to be further traduced by being subjected to "Amnesty" from King Musk, when it is Twitter that was and is in the wrong?
Why is Musk fundamentally silent on the profound problems with the insidious Big Tech model first adopted by Google, then Facebook and eventually all of them, which promises the world false free lunches in exchange for endless surveillance capitalism, the obliteration of privacy, and the establishment of global information control? Because these things, rather than free speech, are what align with Musk's agenda and plans for Twitter X. The temporary return to the illusion of free speech on Twitter is merely a means to an end. Musk has no intention of reforming and reinventing the Big Tech model. Instead, he plans to double down on it. To be clear, this is the same totalitarian model that was instrumental in ushering in the Covid era and is steadily building up digital prisons all around us. Musk as my savior? No thanks!
