It looks like Elon just can’t take a joke.
pretending to take over the Nilla Wafers account and tweeted, “If you are bisexual, we do not want your business,” she got banned. Yet all of these are examples of satire and should be allowed, even if not labeled. A thing kind of stops being a parody if it’s labeled as such anyway, and you’d think anyone whowas the “greatest publication in the history of all conscious beings, living or dead” would get that. But alas.
Jokes, if nothing else, should always punch up, not down. Free speech should protect people who want to poke fun at multimillion-dollar companies . Mocking people with racist, transphobic, sexist, homophobic, or other hateful rhetoric may be protected by the First Amendment, but at a certain point it’s no longer a joke . Moreover, such speech can quickly devolve into harassment and violence. The speech may be protected, but the people it’s directed at are not.
So, do the tweets of Griffin et al. constitute punching down on Musk even if they don’t scream “PARODY”? Most likely not. It almost doesn’t matter. He owns the company; he can say who gets the last laugh.
