Mark Cuban argues that X, under Elon Musk's ownership, is not the free speech platform many perceive it to be, stating it's 'only as free as Elon wants it to be.' He highlights Musk's ultimate control over the platform, allowing him to intimidate users and alter the algorithm without accountability.
Cuban criticizes Musk's portrayal of the platform as a bastion of free speech, saying that, while Musk initially promised improvements and open source features, the reality is that users' freedom of expression is contingent on Musk's whims.
Cuban emphasizes that Musk is the 'ultimate arbiter' of the platform, indicating that free speech exists only until Musk decides otherwise. He acknowledges the irony in users thinking they have freedom when, in truth, it's at Musk's discretion.
Despite his criticisms, Cuban continues to use the platform for engagement and enjoyment. He enjoys the banter with Musk, indicating a level of acceptance of the platform's limitations while still appreciating the interaction it offers.
