I disagree.

Freedom of Speech guarantees the right to speak. Not the right to have no repercussions.

Elon has GREAT interest in Freedom of Speech, it enables him to have far more power than regulating the type of "speech" he showed in cancelling that customer's order.

Elon has interest in monetary gain and stirring conflicts around the world. It is sad that individuals like you are drunk on his coolaid.
> Freedom of Speech guarantees the right to speak. Not the right to have no repercussions.

How is that different from, say, Freedom of Theft guaranteeing the right to steal, but not the right to have no repercussions?

By these definitions, everyone has these “rights”?

I think the OP meant 'social reprecussions'.

But really it is a citizen, Elon Musk, exercising their property rights. The fact that he claims that such restrictions should not be applied to speech he likes is the problem.

he's controlling the speech, not freeing it
