What happens when free speech is challenged on a global scale? Elon Musk, at the helm of X (formerly Twitter), finds himself at the center of this very question. With the world watching, Musk has been fighting to preserve freedom of expression, but the battle is far from cheap — $44 billion has been invested in the cause. Yet, the stakes go beyond money.

In this video, Musk discusses the growing global trend to silence free speech and the complicated decisions X faces in navigating different legal frameworks. He highlights a particular situation in Brazil, where the platform was asked to comply with demands that might violate local laws. Musk explains how X is not there to make or break laws, but to follow them while avoiding becoming an arbitrary censor. He stresses that censorship often arises when people want to suppress truths they find inconvenient, and warns that this is a slippery slope. His message is clear: if people want laws to change, they should advocate for that through the right channels, but as it stands, X will continue to abide by the law while pushing back on undue restrictions on free speech.
