so he lied even more times than just about free speech? like. dude is a billionaire. If you sign up to have that level of excess power, I feel like you basically give up almost all rights not explicitly listed in the bill of rights? certainly any right to have any excuse for your mistakes. in a reasonable world, it wouldn’t be possible to steal that much money via hyperstitional dishonest betting. Dude promised free speech, then proceeded to squash critical speech—oh no, he’s so stressed out! he got funding from the saudis to take over an important social network. if this is a cheap shot, we need to be making more cheap shots—he shouldn’t have your respect, and he shouldn’t have before, either.
It sounds to me like you have made your mind on this topic, given your statements like “he got funding from the saudis to take over an important social network”, which, while not an outright falsehood, misrepresents reality in various critically important ways. Which in turn means that further discussing it is likely pointless.
