Free speech award

Elon Musk, a regular feature of Business Agenda’s annual award ceremony.

 

We honour Elon Musk for a commitment to “free speech absolutism” that lasted about as long as it took him to fire half of the company’s workers.

 

Musk has made a big deal of Twitter’s uneven moderation policies (some of that justified). However, that has not stopped him from imposing his own inconsistency, including suspending the Twitter accounts of: a private jet tracker that used public data; journalists who posted links to other sources for that data; rival social media companies; people who posted links to other social media companies. The public square just got even messier.
