I didn't know free speech could cost a $1

Free speech is so out of fashion, it's time to bring paid speech!

It started at $7 a month around 90 days ago, so at this rate this price will be pennies by Christmas.

Or maybe it's just a bad idea?

What about posting on a privately owned platform is free speech?

I agree twitter is shit, and these prices are stupid, but I'm not seeing the 1st amendment argument.

It's not a 1st amendment argument

I'm making fun of Elon "free speech absolutist" Musk
