He's scared to come to Australia? Awesome.

#1 At first I thought he was saying he should limit Twitter access IN countries where free speech is protected, saying the quiet part loud. Like someone hurt his feelings and he's all "You can say that in your country but now you don't get to use my platform!"
TheMurderousCricket
If you ask me, he can stay in his dark, dank cave for eternity.
trekkiedane
He only needs to enter it *once* before someone pours fast-setting concrete into the entrances (and air-vents).

Maybe...just maybe...stop doing shady shit that pisses off governments and people alike?

Who was jailed for a meme in the US?
VoidScreamer
No one. It's possible that someone was jailed for threatening someone (like a political figure) though.
Magjee
Calling it a meme implies a joke, but you can use a meme template and be guilty of defamation. The examples he used for the UK, Ireland and the US are just the regular law.

You do know you dont have to repost every tweet he makes, right? You don't even have to read them. Quit supporting him by using X and giving him the attention he craves

So he's going to leave the social network formerly known as Twitter?
FlintNorth44
What happened to his little war with Brazil?
PballQhead
I think he was speculating about seizing Brazilian assets in the US, even he's not catastrophically stupid enough to think the same Brazilian court that took his stuff would turn around and, ah, "remunerate" him (that's TFG-level idiocy).
So what happened is he probably talked to his lawyers about filing some kind of claim in Federal court, and subsequently caused them to need fresh trousers on account of pissing themselves laughing at him.
Feonir44
He lost.

This really needs to be top comment on every post involving Elon Musk

I downvote every "Elon Musk farts out a tweet" post I see. It's never enough.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from Trump and Musk, if you can’t ignore them, mock them.

Freedom of speech, isn't freedom from consequence
jrntn
I hate this adage because it's not an accurate representation of the point it's trying to make. What we should say is "freedom of speech doesn't mean people have to like what you say or help you say it" or something to that effect. Because there ARE plenty of types of consequences freedom of speech is genuinely supposed to protect you from.
TheOneTrueZippy8
I would suggest it is probably wise for him to simply shut the fuck up for while but I have zero expectation of that happening.
Dimestream
I think he's constitutionally incapable of shutting up. I think he would literally have an aneurysm if he had to go 24 hours without making someone else listen to his shit takes. Blood would rupture from his eyes if his massive audience was taken away. He would shit
DreamingOfDistantShores
It's so weird how that description applies so well to this other guy I know, a cult leader with a penchant for orange spray paint.
SquidBaitBadgerDroid
He knows the 1st amendment only exists in the USA right? And doesn’t cover illegal business practices in other countries? Who’s gonna tell him?

You know other countries have constitutions and freedom of speech, right?

many of them do not. plenty of videos of dumb americans abroad insisting they have first amendment rights while being arrested.

I reported several posts on Twitter where some piece of poop was calling fellow citizens the usual ugly slurs. Reported that. Reported every post. Came back to Twitter next day, my account is banned, but the Nazi is still there. That's today's Twitter folks. Elon Musk is a fascist cunt who has to buy both friends and hair. He is no fan of free speech or democracy, in fact he is the enemy of both.

TheWombatStrikesAgain
With the exception of Venezuela, they're all democratic countries whose citizens have more rights than people in most other countries on the planet. Including free speech. So if that's not free speech enough for him, that says a lot about what he thinks free speech is.

The wealthiest man in the world trying so hard to pretend he's the oppressed rather than the oppressor.
nubblebun
Imagine being the richest man in the world that we know of, and you could go down in history for saving humanity. But you don't. You shit post on twitter. Imagine being that much of a fucking fool. To be given so much, and to do so little with it.
Rhythmaster
He is doing plenty of evil and dumb shit with it. It's not a matter of him merely shitposting on Twitter. It would be much better for everyone if that's all he was doing.
Casually
I think he truly believes he is.
MickeyCallahan
Any constraint whatsoever
Pervaroo
It has worked quite well. There are still people out there that think he's the smartest innovator the world has ever known. If all you watch is Fox, you'd think he was the champion of free speech.
heartlessninja6
What’s the point of all this power if I can’t abuse it?!? -Almost everyone who grabs power
desolatorx
He succeeded at convincing the idiots who are abundant of this. Otherwise he would have disappeared into obscurity or discovered another thing to clamp on to. He craves this attention and idolatry he gets from this. Just an overall sad man who happens to have money and access so we all get to hear about him.
IGotLordVoldemortsNose
That's why he bought twitter, to influence a section of the populace. You can't fool everyone, but turning a small number can change an election. Fascist/ corrupt regimes allow him to make more money
MeatVegetable
This is the Wealthy Liberatarian Dilemma, they want a "man" t be oppressed by yet refuse to see they are the "Man". So what we end up seeing is freaks like Musk and Peter Thiel pushing back against anything that threatens them in the slightest.
Chakra5
Just like his bro, Vlad, who has the dirt.
TheOneTrueZippy8
Drivel and nonsense, even by his extremely low standards. Does he understand the word "blackmail" at all ?
jrntn
Of course, he still believes that in his home country black male is supposed to be held... apart
TheWombatStrikesAgain
The account's name is "End Wokeness". Does that sound like they got a good, unbiased handle on reality?
Bhargo
being told to follow the laws is blackmail now I guess
marsgoose
Yes, my mail lady is black. She has a black job and brings me black mail.
Raikupath
He does, but his fans don't. That's all that matters to him. Twitter is a propaganda platform for a racist piece of shit trying to hold on to capitalism while millions are slowly realising how shitty it is and how much it has destroyed.
TheOneTrueZippy8
He used the same word (blackmail) during his "go fuck yourselves" tirade against advertisers. He used it incorrectly then too.
He doesn't know what it means.
Raikupath
He uses it incorrectly because his fans won't notice and they will start a shitstorm. He is doing that on purpose. He is literally running one of the biggest propaganda machines in maybe the history of mankind. Inentionally using words in a wrong way isn't really something he doesn't know about.
satanslittleposter
It doesn't matter if he does or doesn't know what it means. It's being used because it's a strong, emotive concept, that's all.
taez555
Has he considered moving back to South Africa?
mynamespaul
And shutting the fuck up forever?
marsgoose
Has anyone?
simonsaysabunchofstuff
No take backs without the receipt !

I always assumed he would be on the 1st spaceship to mars (not by choice either).
Ilikestyx
He probably prefers apartheid SA.
TheNihilistsParadoxicalWashingMachine
Probably ?
NortBru
We don’t want him either
TheSaDragon
Well, he can only make things more interesting down here. Might even give the politicians something to do other than fight over who's running the country.
Ijustsigneduptoupvotethis
Please no. We got enough fuck whits to deal with. Don't need him to stirr up right wing bullshit.
16KTS
Maybe.
blaid0
Fuck off, what makes you think we'd have him?
Zobbie
No thanks, we don't want him. Our country is broken enough as it is. We are all buying Chinese cars now, he won't be able to sell any Teslas anyway.
Marsupialmessiah
Outnof curiosity (SA is not a country im familiar with, at all....) the nice BYD electrics or the shitty ones that have self destructing flywheels in the clutch and other niceties like engines throwing the camshaft for no reason ones? Geely, thats the brand
Zobbie
Haval, Jaecoo, Beijing, Omoda, Chery, BYD are all here now . We are not big on electric vehicles yet, but BYD looks like a good product. I don't think I have seen Geely.

I'm glad to see the US made the "Get lost" list

Has anyone checked his immigration status? I hate it when illegal aliens come to my country and trash talk it.
RootMeanSqr
Rich people are never considered illegal aliens in America. That's only for the poors.

Or the back of a deep cave? Preferably remote and under water?

We already have a lot of trash in our waters, we shouldn’t add more to them.

UK - well - we've been imprisoning quite a few people for inciting violent racist riots, if that's what he means by "meme".
Appollon
And Russia didn't even make his list.
Pally01
And it was what, 70% of the people arrested in the riots had prior records for violent crimes?
skipweasel
Who'dha thunk it?
Hrafna55
He is referring to a woman who posted on Facebook during the riots "Blow the mosque up with the adults in it". So that's a death threat. Probably falls under 'malicious communications' and more. She got 15 months. Will be out in 7 I guess.
Tom40
Meme / violent race riots; po-tay-to / po-tah-to; whatever. /s
BisAndThighHighs
The violent racist riots that were whipped up by the same right wing bullshit online sources that musk supports. The kind of ones that make fake american news shows to spread their bullshit over here.
sangman
In case it wasn't obvious, End Wokeness is a far right channel. So is Musk btw
putcleverusernamehere
No, that's what he meant by free speech (lying, libel, hate speech etc)

"I'm just meming bro!" "OK but why do all your memes talk about killing foreigners?"
blcollier
Some of the incidents were *well* beyond racist violence. Attempting to burn down a hotel housing asylum seekers while knowing that people are inside it is straight up terrorism.
TheGriffin
Media is definitely up for helping them get away with their shit
GOAE
He wants the other first world countries to constitutionally protect hate speech and memes like the U.S. does. Oh wait, one of the countries in the earlier tweet is the U.S., and it jailed someone for a meme. I guess the U.S. only protects hate speech then and not memes? Guess he needs to leave the U.S.
GOAE
I wonder if he asked himself "is this true?" when he read that 2nd tweet which contained completely misleading warped views of what actually happened.
Syovere
But it confirmed his own extant biases, which is more important than facts
StarryPlough
This is always what the Americans who talk about 'muh free speech' want to protect

The guy in OP is actually from South Africa.
