Elon Musk has presented himself as a defender of free speech. What exactly does he mean?
talks about making electric cars, he sounds like he knows what he’s talking about, probably because he does. “We basically messed up almost every aspect of the Model 3 production line, from cells to packs to drive inverters,” he said, earlier this month, during an onstage interview at theconference in Vancouver. “I lived in the Fremont and Nevada factories for three years, fixing that production line, running around like a maniac.
Anderson asked a few follow-up questions—not gotcha questions but elementary ones—and Musk fumbled most of them. “Right now, Twitter and Facebook and others, they’ve hired thousands of people to try to help make wise decisions, and the trouble is that no one can agree on what is wise,” Anderson said. “How do you solve that?”
At one point, Anderson asked about hate speech, and Musk replied that “Twitter should match the laws of the country.” The United States doesn’t have laws against hate speech. On the contrary, the Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that almost all hate speech is protected by the First Amendment.
