Some people were arrested over social posts, but they had to be threatening violence for that to happen. It has happened in various cases, but such laws need to be carefully managed. I know Musk has said he is a 'free speech absolutist', but may take down criticism of himself and most countries have laws around libel and threats.
I see Musk as a threat to US/world stability in various ways. He wants to disrupt and is being allowed to get his way, for now. Don't get me started on the idiocy of Trump...
It is easy to get dispirited about politics, but we need to find signs of hope. Change needs to be peaceful, but divisions are not easily healed.
That sounds much more rational than what the news and social media posts are saying about it over here. They're claiming people are being arrested just for posting their disagreement with certain immigration policies. That didn't seem like it could be true and is a good example of how the truth can be twisted for certain ends. Some American media outlets would have us believing England has slipped into full-on Orwellianism. Yes, I've seen Musk take down certain posts on X and deactivate accounts. I agree, that is very hypocritical of someone claiming to be a free speech absolutist.
I'm growing to fear the increasing ability of the media to cloud peoples' perceptions every bit as much as I am extreme politicians. Change doesn't have to be, and shouldn't be, destructive. I still think, if pressed, most people would realize their positions on most issues are moderate. Lets hope people come to their senses. I hope it's still possible for America to heal itself.
