Elon Musk is getting skewered on Twitter and elsewhere for claiming Apple is against free speech by cutting back their advertising dollars from his social media platform.

Musk claims he has taken over Twitter to support free speech, which means he's putting covid deniers and anti-vaxxers, white supremacists, anti-Semites, and election fraud nuts back on the social media platform to make their case for hateful "free" speech.

Reinstating serial liar, insurrectionist, and traitor Donald Trump has become a tipping point for advertisers.

Many advertisers are fed up with his unhinged antics and are pulling their ads off of Musk's new plaything.

It appears Musk loves unfiltered free speech and cretins, but is totally against free enterprise.

As Business Insider reminds us, "Before taking control of Twitter, Elon Musk tweeted an open letter promising advertisers that Twitter wouldn't become a "free-for-all hellscape."

What's this then? A promise to "name and shame" corporations who don't want to support or be associated with hate speech?

Free speech only pertains to MAGA nuts.

Advertisers explain their reasons for leaving:

This former executive dude has left the platform.

Criticisms have come quickly.

Has Elon Musk turned to the Trump model of hate, vilification and insane unhinged rhetoric to keep him in the news? Sure seems that way.

Elon Musk is Foxifying social media, turning it into another fountain of lies and right-wing outrage.
