    The ACLU doesn’t receive any government money. They are entirely funded by memberships, individual donations, and private grants . How exactly would the government defund them?

    Yeah defund the checks notes private non-profit organization run on donations! Oh that’s not what defunding means? He knows that and is watering down the word? He’s doing it so when he slashes funding from the regulatory agencies built to keep shit heads like him in line the MAGA chuds will cheer for him?

    It’s sad because it’s obvious what he’s doing, and yet it’s going to work anyway

    Musk is totally for free speech. Free, as in ‘free-for-all’. As long as you have the money to sue everyone else into submission, you can say anything. May the free-est speech win.

      Yes he seems to think it means free to exploit, lie and suppress. Arrogant narcissistic piece of hypocritical garbage.
