“New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach. Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter. You won’t find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from rest of Internet.”
The tweet archive.
15 years of Elon, fully searchable. The production archive uses Supabase as the source of truth, with 94,952 indexed tweets available in development as a full-archive fallback and a curated annotation layer for context, theory, and how major claims aged.
“Hate speech impressions (# of times tweet was viewed) continue to decline, despite significant user growth! @TwitterSafety will publish data weekly. Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom of reach. Negativity should & will get less reach than positivity. https://t.co/36zl29rCSM”
“Exactly [@JudiciaryGOP] The whole world knows that the @EU_Commission weaponized its censorship law against @elonmusk because he bought Twitter and made it a free speech platform. The Committee will continue to expose the @EU_Commission as it tries to hide its decade-long censorship regime.”

“Huge thank you to everyone who supported this platform and our mutual quest to support freedom of speech!”
“I have been against a TikTok ban for a long time, because it goes against freedom of speech. That said, the current situation where TikTok is allowed to operate in America, but 𝕏 is not allowed to operate in China is unbalanced. Something needs to change. [@elonmusk] In my opinion, TikTok should not be banned in the USA, even though such a ban may benefit the 𝕏 platform. Doing so would be contrary to freedom of speech and expression. It is not what America stands for.)”

“Defund the UN [@Grummz] They just declared war on free speech. UN Secretary-General António Guterres is talking about X and other platforms.”
“@TimRunsHisMouth I’m fine with Trump not tweeting. The important thing is that Twitter correct a grave mistake in banning his account, despite no violation of the law or terms of service. Deplatforming a sitting President undermined public trust in Twitter for half of America.”

“Important to free speech to support content creators on this platform”
“@catturd2 They began brewing attacks of all kinds as soon as the Twitter acquisition was announced. In my 30 year career, including the entire MeToo era, there’s nothing to report, but, as soon as I say I intend to restore free speech to Twitter & vote Republican, suddenly there is …”
“Because 𝕏 believes in freedom of speech within the bounds of the laws of a country [@goddek] Everything I’d like to say about these two insufferable twins would get me instantly banned from this platform, so I’ll just leave this here and let their own words speak.”

“@HalieyWelchX This is the free speech platform, so feel free to say whatever you want! Unless it’s illegal, it won’t be taken down. Of course, you should expect trolls and NPC attacks, but that’s just part of the experience.”
“@krassenstein I vehemently disagree with what he said about Sandy Hook, but are we a platform that believes in freedom of speech or are we not? That is what it comes down to in the end. If the people vote him back on, this will be bad for 𝕏 financially, but principles matter more than money.”
