    Should be a law that everytime you invoke free speech on your website any demonstrable action contrary to it should result into a massive fine for lying and an automatic shutdown after a certain amount of violations.

      Given Musks new role in the Federal Government, that may no longer be true.

      Musk censoring public discussion (either personally, or done at his direction) may amount to First Amendment violations, given he’s now a government representative (though they’re trying to argue he isn’t).

      Is modifying an AI to refuse to provide information on him, considered censoring public speech? Probably not; but he’s not ‘free to do whatever he likes’.
