Everyone can say what they want, but contrary to what the MAGA idiots think, they have no right to free speech on someone else's platform. They are free to make their own platforms and we can see from the great success of Truth Social and Parler how that works out.

What "free speech absolutist" Musk is trying to do is limit the speech of the ADL outside his platform, and to prevent them from shining a spotlight on him and the Nazi cockroaches he's invited back to Twitter. He's not going to convince advertisers that having their company's name appear next to Nazi content is a good thing, and IMO his attempted bullying of the ADL is going to end up driving advertisers away instead of bringing them back. Good.
