And note this well - he means it.
This isn't just rhetoric - if Muskntrump and their cronies and patrons have their way about it, Americans are going to start going to prison for criticizing them.

"Free speech absolutist."
"Free speech but only when it's aligned to my objectives"
For all his lack of social ques, he's really nailed Trump's style, be completely serious about being fascist as possible and calling your goons to action. Which there will be, this will at a minimum lead to harassment and death threats, credible bomb threats, this isn't a game, they are always serious
If americans are going to be sent to prison anyway, they may as well make it worth their time.
Elon mush is a nazi!
Ah... Doesn't everyone do that facial expression when they gesture, "my heart goes out to you!"?
Every time I see my mom, I tell ya...
Literally attacking the 1st Amendment. Damn, these fascists are so pathetic...
Fascists doing what fascists do. The real pathetic part is that people are actively assisting or sitting on their hands.
Or actively stepping aside in protest which just makes it easier for them
Mr Free Speech Absolutist declares, "absolutely no free speech."
People warned the media that they would not be welcome in the new regime if they won. But they just blew off the concerns of the people and sane washed everything they did. They still bent the knee after they won and they are still being punished. Why did they believe the scorpion?
I know someone that deserves a jail sentence and it is not them.
We're well past the jail stage.
Jail is what should have happened when we still had something resembling the rule of law.
We're in a position now that Trump and Musk will never see justice unless it's served directly by the people.
They forget that every fascist regime ends with the leaders dead. They seem to be trying to speed run this by pissing off both the military and the rural gun nuts.
Jail and prison are not the same.
Freedom from speech.
Fuhrer Musk took his mask off at the inauguration. He knows the role he sees himself playing. He sees Trump as his press secretary dealing with the media.
says the man that bought the election for his puppet.
Performing Nazi salutes and trying to imprison the free press.
Elon Musk is a Nazi.
He’s also a South African Nazi, who is bringing more of his SA Nazi buddies here.
Trump ignites political firestorm in South Africa over Afrikaner asylum status offer
Bargain Moff Tarkin needs to leave this plane of existence.
Elon deserves a long walk on a short pier.
Very free speech.
Leopards coming for the media
Who the fuck has the blue shell??
