    Are we doing the “everything I don’t like is Hitler” thing now?

    I don’t like the guy either, but let’s judge the technology on it’s own merits, shall we?

      The guy used Xitter, a platform he owns, to promote a transphobic documentary made by Matt Walsh. Matt Walsh’s Xitter bio famously begins with the words “theocratic fascist”, or, y’know, Nazi. If Xitter has been used to push anti-trans propaganda made by Nazis, who says Starlink won’t? I don’t think Musk gives a xit about net neutrality.

      Are we doing the “I defend nazis but try to falsify my stance by pretending to not like them” thing now?

      Guy bought a platform to elevate nazi speech among other forms of hate, and uses his position to elevate it while banning those who speak against said speech. If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck - you don’t need a 5 page thesis and notarized notice of allegiance to the third reich to tell its a duck. 🤷
