Didn't he also try to shut down a Twitter bot that publishes flights of his private jet?

I also recall him firing people who supported unionization and employees who talked to reporters.



Yup. He's also removed people from Tesla beta programs if they say anything negative about the company. He's also accused people of being pedophiles for saying negative things about them- going so far as hiring people to try and prove the baseless accusations.

Elon is not a free speech advocate. He'll pretend to be occasionally, but that's not the same thing.


If by "tried to shut down" you mean "offered the kid running it $5,000 to stop" then sure.

But the way you spin it is way worse than what actually happened.
