> stupid, ugly or wrong opinion

You can only have a stupid, ugly or wrong opinion so long as Musk shares it. Luckily Musk is uniquely dumb, so that covers most awful takes you can have, perhaps giving the perception of free speech.

That is his right. It is his company. You don't have the right to free speech on another man's property.

You have the right to be an antisemite. But just please not in my house, I may ask you to leave.

Literally nobody argued otherwise. All I said is that X is not a free speech platform as Musk claims, which is objectively true.

He, Musk, argues you can say whatever you want on X. This is not true plainly - he is lying. This isn't up for debate so don't bother trying.

So "free speech" is "speech Musk is happy to have"

That's fine, and is why "free speech" is in quotes
