He [Musk] has spoken up recently about the value of citizen journalism and criticized the "media elite," calling their control of the news an "oligopoly on information".

There has never been a time in all of human history with more numerous (and viewpoint diverse) sources of information available to virtually every living person. By many orders of magnitude.

Has Elon said anything about the CCP's censorship regime?

@Axtremus

Since he built his largest gigafactory there the only comment he’s made about China is that they should be allowed to absorb Taiwan.

But many years ago he used to criticize them, I understand.

Yeah, Elon can mumble about "oligopoly of information" while silent on "monopoly of information" when done by the CCP. So much for "citizen journalism."

It’s a lot safer calling out non-tyrannical regimes for their tyranny
