Before he bought Twitter, Musk remarked, "I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means."

Second, before he bought twitter, almost everything he said there was him trolling or joking. You had to take everything he said there with a grain of salt. If you wanted to hear his actual opinions on things you needed to either listen to shareholder meeting or watch one of the many interviews he does.

people say the same shit about trump. "take him seriously, not literally." musk is an egotistical moron who will change his opinion day by day, claiming after the fact that anything he said that was blatantly wrong was just a joke

This. People need to stop defending right-wing bigotry. They’re not “joking,” they mean it. And they will most definitely open up concentration camps and the like if given the chance.

I agree wholeheartedly, I find his right-wing rhetoric disturbing. And being a "troll" online makes him owning twitter a big problem.
