Elon seems to have unlocked the secret to modern commerce--if you can't convince the consumer that your product is worth buying, sue them.

I can't wait until I'm a big enough deal that McDonald's sues me for not liking Big Macs.

I think he confused "free speech absolutist" and "me first absolutist." He's kind of a Xit on the Xitter of America...

I mean really. As a businessman he should respect other businesses' decisions that they deem more profitable.

I don't think he really is a businessman. At the risk of gross overgeneralization, he's an apartheid baby with an inferiority complex and a persistent delusion that he's an ubermensch and if you oppose him you are vermin. Only a matter of time until he starts a political party...

Maybe he's hoping Trump will give an important position. Maybe running the system of concentration camps Trump wants for immigrants, which would be ironic.

Probably unfair to the German Schindler...but maybe Elon would become what Oskar did. Expensive way to rehabilitate Musk--easier to fly him to Mars.

Or maybe he meant "free speech abolitionist"?

If you can't sue the poors for insulting the rich, what is even the point of having a boatload of money?

Fly yourself to Mars? Even admitting that I'd hate to see Mars contaminated like that, can't happen fast enough...
