How come everybody from his first admin is supporting his opponent, Bobscat? That seems odd. :?

Well its just like when you got fired from Dairy Queen for blowing the janitor, you hate your boss to this day. You would do anything to get back at him for not letting you reach the pinnacle of your existence on this planet. (making the swirrley Q on top of a cone)

…We’re going to get back to our roots and focus on reducing mistakes, simplifying our policies and restoring free expression on our platforms. More specifically, we’re going to get rid of fact-checkers and replace them with Community Notes similar to X, starting in the U.S…
Joel Kaplan, Meta’s chief global affairs officer:
We went to independent, third-party fact-checkers. It has become clear there is too much political bias in what they choose to fact-check because, basically, they get to fact-check whatever they see on the platform….

…. Instead of going to some so-called expert, it (community notes) instead relies on the community and the people on the platform to provide their own commentary to something that they’ve read. We think that’s a much better approach rather than relying on so-called experts who bring their own biases into the program….
https://redstate.com/mike_miller/2025/0 ... n-n2184036

This wouldn’t be happening of Elon hadn’t bought X. Elon buying X was one of the biggest advancements of free speech in US history, because it ended the left’s stranglehold on social media and the free flow of online info.

Trump says Musk relationship over, warns of 'serious consequences' if he funds Democrats
Donald Trump said on Saturday his relationship with his billionaire donor Elon Musk is over and warned there would be "serious consequences" if Musk funds U.S. Democrats running against Republicans who vote for the president's sweeping tax and spending bill.
Seems pretty obvious that trump is threatening musk's freedom of speech.

I would think Trump has the advantage but this suggests Musk may still have some leverage.

How a Supreme Court decision backing the NRA is thwarting Trump’s retribution campaign
As Harvard University, elite law firms and perceived political enemies of President Donald Trump fight back against his efforts to use government power to punish them, they’re winning thanks in part to the National Rifle Association.

Last May, the Supreme Court unanimously sided with the gun rights group in a First Amendment case concerning a New York official’s alleged efforts to pressure insurance companies in the state to sever ties with the group following the deadly 2018 school shooting in Parkland, Florida.

A government official, liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote for the nine, “cannot … use the power of the State to punish or suppress disfavored expression.

A year later, the court’s decision in National Rifle Association of America v. Vullo has been cited repeatedly by federal judges in rulings striking down a series of executive orders that targeted law firms. Lawyers representing Harvard, faculty at Columbia University and others are also leaning on the decision in cases challenging Trump’s attacks on them.

Going into court with a decision that is freshly minted, that clearly reflects the unanimous views of the currently sitting Supreme Court justices, is a very powerful tool,” said Eugene Volokh, a conservative First Amendment expert who represented the NRA in the 2024 case.

For free speech advocates, the application of the NRA decision in cases pushing back against Trump’s retribution campaign is a welcome sign that lower courts are applying key First Amendment principles equally, particularly in politically fraught disputes.
The courts are supporting free speech in trump's war on the US Constitution.
