It was always about the right wing kind of free speech - free to harass and insult people, freedom from consequences.
And freedom to "censor" speech they don't like.
When did he do that?
Community Note correcting Musk’s anti-vax tweet mysteriously disappears

Re: Community Note correcting Musk’s anti-vax tweet mysteriously disappears
#32Community notes regularly disappear. It mainly comes down to the bent of a person's followers since they will simply downrank a community note.
I frequently see someone screencapping someone's tweet + the community note to go "haha pwned" but then I visit the tweet and the note is long gone.
Also, a lot of notes are low quality and seemingly upvoted just because they counter the tweet at all.

Lol. Have you been in a news blackout for the last year? Denying it at this point is equivalent to being a flat earther or something. Read the Twitter Files from Tabibi, Weiss, Shellenberger etc. The evidence is all there.
don't you mean the X Files?
It certainly fits, a show all about fictionalized conspiracies

Who was forced to get vaccinated in which country?
Define forced. Federal employees and federal contractors were required to be vaccinated or lose their jobs and this was also repeated in several US states. Military members were also forced to vaccinate or face other than honorable discharge or NJP at a minimum. Yes, nobody came with a gun and "forced" them to take it, but significant economic coercision meets my definition of force.
Military is different - you go into it with the understanding that you're risking (guaranteed, really) bodily harm by joining. Military personnel are forced to get all kinds of shots as a matter of routine.

#35Interesting. Funny how wrong the Community Note was. Obviously vaccine × virus aren't an xor . Many people have already had the virus by the time they were forced to take the vaccine. For those people the myocarditis risk was a strict net negative.
Who was forced to get vaccinated in which country?
It was pretty common across Canada.
The federally-imposed policy affected many people, given how it involved the transportation sector, in addition to federal government staff:
"Prime Minister announces mandatory vaccination for the federal workforce and federally regulated transportation sectors" (October 6, 2021)
https://www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/news-releases/2021/10/06/prime-...
The largest cities forced their staff, too. Here are the announcements for Toronto and Vancouver, for example:
"City of Toronto announces mandatory COVID-19 vaccination for its employees" (August 19, 2021)
https://www.toronto.ca/news/city-of-toronto-announces-mandat...
"City announces mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy" (October 18, 2021)
https://vancouver.ca/news-calendar/city-announces-mandatory-...
Those are just a few examples that had a pretty widespread impact.

People who wanted to keep their job, friends and family. It's disgusting.
I'm forced to wear pants in public at all times. If I showed up to Thanksgiving with no pants, they'd ask me to leave and id never get invited again. Tyranny ! Everyone should be free to endanger everyone around them with a deadly crippling virus at all times.

#37To be fair, that twitter context post is almost entirely useless.
Comparing the risk of myocarditis from vaccines to the risk of myocarditis from actually getting covid is not a helpful comparison.
Generally speaking, everyone is going to get covid whether you are vaxxed or unvaxxed. So the question is whether adding vaccines into the mix REDUCES the overall myocarditis risk or increases it.
In other words
(Covid infection myocarditis risk + vaccine myocarditis risk) VS (covid infection myocarditis risk)
From https://www.heart.org/en/news/2022/08/22/covid-19-infection-...
"But the risk of myocarditis associated with the vaccine was lower than the risk associated with COVID-19 infection before or after vaccination – with one exception. Men under 40 who received a second dose of the Moderna vaccine had a higher risk of myocarditis following vaccination. The Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines are available in the U.S."
Unless I am horribly misreading this, it seems that
(Covid infection + non-moderna vaccine), has a lower risk of myocarditis than (covid infection + no vaccine)
EXCEPT in men under 40 receiving moderna.
In that case, (covid infection + moderna), has a HIGHER risk than (covid infection + no vaccine)
Can anyone correct me if I am reading this wrong?

Musk always maintains something until he steps on his ego. Remember when twitter was supposed to be a "free speech" platform? Musk has lost all benefit of the doubt, and then some.
Okay, but this is still an implied accusation with zero evidence. Surely losing the "benefit of the doubt" doesn't mean you can just make up any story you want about someone and use that to demonize them until there's definitive proof your accusation is wrong?
Zero evidence? We’re using his history of being a little bitch boy to assume he removed it. It’s not that far of a stretch.
Re: Community Note correcting Musk’s anti-vax tweet mysteriously disappears
#40Is there any actual evidence of foul play here? Could just be the note got enough bad ratings to stop being featured. Not that removing it would be entirely out of character for him, but Musk has gotten community notes applied to his Tweets before and always maintained that that was allowed and a good thing.
Removing it on Musk's orders wouldn't be foul play anyway. He owns the business. He can decide how it operates, including preferential treatment for himself.
