California: “Please tell us if you allow nazis or not. We just want you to be transparent.”
Elon: “California is trying to pressure me into banning nazis! If I disclose I’m cool with nazis, people will be mad and they’ll want me to stop. Also, a lot of hate watch groups say I’m letting nazis run free on X, and I’m suing them for defamation for saying that, but if I have to publicly disclose my pro-nazi content moderation policies I’m going to lose those lawsuits and likely have to pay attorneys fees! Not cool California, not cool at all.”
Wild that in 2023 we still have to discuss this nonsense. Nazis are always wrong. It’s so easy not to be a Nazi. It’s so much extra work to be a bigoted ignoramus than to just… not be that.
It’s not even that.

This who can do. Those who cannot teach. Those who cannot even become Nazis.
