“Not to be outdone in stupid fascism analogies…Jarvis…lamented that ‘today on Twitter feels like the last evening in a Berlin nightclub at the twilight of Weimar Germany.’ To be fair to Jarvis, Twitter often does have the vibe of a speakeasy. But it’s one more akin to the Star Wars Cantina than the Kit Kat Club.” Great writing.

Musk does not believe in free speech for all. Musk requested the gov't of China to censor negative reviews of Tesla and its autos. Tesla also has sued car owners to silence them. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-12-15/chinese-customers-in-court-over-tesla-legal-strategy-to-silence-critics

Why would anyone want someone like that in control of Twitter or any other important mass communication service?
