@elonmusk would do well to have a sit down with #noamchomsky on this. Live stream the session & build the brand in the process.

Hint: speech has never been free. And $44B is a high price to pay to learn that lesson.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

By “free speech”, I simply mean that which matches the law.

I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law.

If people want less free speech, they will ask government to pass laws to that effect.

Therefore, going beyond the law is contrary to the will of the people.

@elonmusk $44Billion to spend & this is the best way to contribute to #progress? @elonmusk has a good track record, but there are a lot of ways $44B could contribute to #economicdevelopment, future generations & the human endeavor. Should be interesting.

The new American dream is to make a living from one's creativity. 1/3 of kids want to be YouTube stars.

But the inconvenient truth is few creators are actually attaining financial security today.

My new blog is about building the creator middle class 👇
