When thinking about Elon and X, please also consider this. If a place for speech gets accepted as the most open and popular, then what's popular there will be claimed as speaking for the general public. Winning in the public square matters.
But of course X is not a public square. It's a place where lefties increasingly feel unwelcome cause of harassment. But its use by big names keeps telling the world that it matters. That has to change. It's why we must limit harassment but not speech here.
