The USA banned Iran's Press TV as a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist entity". Russia Today was banned for "foreign interference activity". Other countries acted similarly.

It really ought not to be impossible to treat Musk's torrent of hate propaganda and incitement in the same way.

He says stupid stuff and lies all the time. I know many people on both sides that do this. I know many on both sides that spread hate speech, if you want to call it that. Some stuff he says might even be illegal.... I think lying about self driving and many other schemes to drive up the stock were illegal and he should have been punished.

I'm not so sure I feel that way about his other free speech that's just opinions... whether you agree or disagree with them is another matter entirely.
