Following the publication of this story, X owner Elon Musk reshared a screenshot of it, saying it’s “important to allow people to like posts without getting attacked for doing so!”

"We've listened to our users who've voice concerns about being labeled 'racist piece of shit' merely for supporting tweets that suggest that other races are less human than white people. Today we're doubling down on our own brand of 'freedom of speech' to mean 'freedom from consequences'. From today forward, twitter users will be safe and comfortable voicing their (anonymous) support for the most disgusting racist, homophobic, or misogynistic tweets imaginable." -Twitter PR probably

No no no. It's not like that! Twitter doesn't have a PR team. They were fired 2 years ago. Along with tech support. Plus twitter doesn't exist. Only X which continues to bring the worst ideas forward to make the world full of shit.
