As the old saying goes- If you have 10 people and 1 nazi sitting at a dinner table and willingly eating together, you have 11 Nazis.
He sits at his Twitter dinner table with a lot of Nazis and is absolutely willing to do so.
Does this line of thinking apply to all the other groups also on twitter?
That they're also associating with Nazis? Yes. They need to stop.
Funny. I meant, does this also mean Musk agrees with every single viewpoint expressed on the platform, because he allows their presence?
He doesn't retweet every single viewpoint expressed on the platform.
He does retweet Nazis.
Can you provide even one example?

I'm sure you'll just say that's not enough evidence or fake news or whatever. Anything but admit Real Life Tony Stark is maybe not Real Life Tony Stark.
Sounds more like a free speech absolutionist rather than a nazi supporter to me.
This is pretty tenuous evidence to make such a bold claim.
Also, do you think "zuck is a cuck" is an insult exclusive to the far right? And there's nowhere else he could have heard it?
I gave you seven links. You quoted one line from one link. How dishonest of you.
And yeah, he's such a free speech "absolutionist" (not a word) that he does things like ban people for reporting a story about him.
You gave me seven links that, at best, show a tenuous link to these people. I also didn't see anything about him retweeting nazi rhetoric.
You're just pissed because people are allowed to disagree with you.
When did I say people weren't allowed to disagree with me? When did I even imply it? Please quote me. Unless that was a lie.
You implied it by saying "nazis" shouldn't be allowed on twitter.
Where did I say that? Quote please.
You implied it.
Please quote me implying it.
This is starting to sound like a lie to me.
