The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

That is one of the main reasons Elon deserves praise. At the risk to personal attacks, he has championed free speech for himself and others. Isn't that what America is all about!

Free Speech is about the government not interfering in speech. Here, the government has not even hinted it will interfere with Musk's speech. No, I personally don't feel there is any way to laud Musk over endorsing anti-semitic conspiracy theories. That it is a fraudulent conspiracy theory that a 16 year old should be able to see through is bad, add in antisemitism and it's terrible. Musk is free to suffer all the consequences of his terrible choice and, I might add, we are free to say it is a rotten diseased choice that you want to laud.
