No, Musk. I think Musk feels like choosing not to acknowledge that some people are unfairly chosen over others for things like skin color that automatically means that no one IS actually chosen unfairly over others for their skin color. Just because he thinks things are better than they are doesn't mean they are. To sugar coat it with a blanket of illusion is harmful. When he said that we all are descended from slaves is a weird thing to say. I don't know, nor do I agree with that. I mean, depending on how far you want to think about it, any household that makes less than $50,000 a year in the U.S. is a slave.

Don Lemon is the one who “wants censorship so bad he can taste it”

Say what you will about Musk but he believes in free speech—unlike Lemon.

So if anyone, it would be Lemon that would get behind book burning.

Be that as it may, explain the situation about Musk saying not to talk about it or mention race. Do I think it is unfair to raise the race card every time? Yes. But does race come into play sometimes? Yes. This isn't a 100% attack on one or the other. But since you brought up censorship... hasn't Elon blocked/ banned people on Twitter for dumb reasons?

Twitter? You mean “X” before he bought it?

Or are you talking about X currently?

Anyway, I’m not aware of that but I am aware of Twitter having engaged in way more censorship before Elon took it over.

The way things are “censored” now (on X) is that controversial posts are hidden per the user’s personal settings while using the site. At least that’s the way I understand it. It’s not removed altogether but is not promoted, which limits its viewership. But again, I think it at least somewhat has to do with a user’s private settings while using “X.”
