JONATHAN TURLEY: ELON COULDN'T BE SCARED, AND THEY'LL NEVER FORGIVE HIM FOR THAT | “It's like another scene out of The Lord of the Flies.
You have all these pundits and politicians chasing him around the island, and people go into absolute vapors every time he talks about censorship or talks about Donald Trump. This turned on Musk when he bought Twitter and took down the censorship system.

But most importantly, when he released the Twitter Files, because many of us were testifying in Congress, and Democratic members would say, you have no proof that there's any coordination between the government and these companies.

And then, Elon Musk supplied the proof with thousands of emails coming from government officials and offices and over 80 FBI agents targeting individuals and groups for censorship.

They never forgave him for that. And you have this bizarre situation where you have CEOs that openly support Harris, openly support extremely far-left policies.

There's not a peep about them. But there is this Musk Mania, which has overwhelmed the media recently.

They've already done everything they could, short of throwing him into a wood chipper. They've targeted his revenue, they've targeted his companies, they've targeted his advertisers.

In my book, The Indispensable Right, I talk about Musk, and love him or hate him, he is, without question, the most consequential figure in free speech of our generation.

I think he has done more for free speech than any living person today. In some ways, he actually stopped the progress of the anti-free speech movement by releasing the Twitter Files.

But he's really that immovable object this irresistible force encountered, and they won't forgive him for it. All their CEOs caved. People like Zuckerberg and others, they caved like a house of cards.

But they finally found someone who couldn't be coerced, couldn't be threatened, couldn't be scared. And they will not forgive him for that.”
