‘It’s a fundamental human right to be allowed to voice an opinion isn’t it?’

Of course it is and not being able to voice that opinion, on one platform or another, doesn’t mean that human right has been removed. Your right to disagree hasn’t been removed but you wouldn’t reasonably expect to be able to post any opinion anywhere.

It's just a case of ‘my house, my rules’.

I wouldn’t have you in mine if you were demanding compulsory euthanasia at 70 years old …

… I’d only six months left <laugh>
I understand exactly what you mean but by stifling it in these platforms means that the owners get to control the narrative and that can be dangerous.
Anyway maybe this is more of a discussion for a new thread rather than this one.
And you don’t look a day over 68 :emoticon-0142-happy

He's probably just been overdoing it on the Ketamine again.
 
In the little town I live in, the top two car models seem to be Telsa model 3 and Land Rover Defenders, they seem to make up a third of all cars.
 
I find it obscene this guy ( or any person for that matter) is about to become a trillionaire with the floating of Space X on the stock exchange.
No one person should have that kind of wealth and indirect power over world governments. Not only is it immoral but....for me... is a dangerous thing. He is not just a businessman anymore and his influence worldwide is growing. His financial clout is going to have an effect on different countries elections...sadly the UK will be in his crosshairs. The world is a dangerous enough place without people like Musk with that kind of money spreading his form of governance.

It already is with him constantly mistaking freedom of speech with racism in the UK and support of absolute tw@ts like Stephen Yaxley-Lennon

Anthropic are paying Space X $1.25 billion per month to use Space X's datacentres to run their AI. The level of money sloshing around in Musk's companies is just staggering.
 
Musk is a seriously strange bloke, though not one to underrate.

Interesting to note that he was once extremely popular in the media for being an "eccentric" a "dream chaser" a " largely a force for good" and other such compliments.

But this was at a time when he was heavily backing Democratic candidates for the House and the Senate.
