"Free speech absolutist"

Elon is a free speech absolutist, as long as you’re hurting other people and not him.

I think this is a pretty common approach to "free speech" by people who don't really understand what censorship is, and/or are not capable of empathizing with others. It just never occurs to them that when you claim free speech as a basic right, that means that other people also get to speak. It would be funny if it didn't create so much harm.
