Big Words from X – Free Speech and Nothing Behind It!

Elon Musk has been boasting for years about "Free Speech Absolutism" – "Freedom of Speech, not Freedom of Reach."

Sounds great. But in 2026, the reality on X looks different: Fakes run wild, moderation is a joke, and normal users are made invisible.

Why? Because Musk has massively cut staff:

  • Since the takeover in 2022: Over 80% of employees laid off – including almost the entire content moderation team (over 6,000 jobs gone).
  • 2025/2026: Only about 2,840 employees left (from 8,000 before), and moderation runs mainly on AI (Grok & Co.).
  • Result: Fewer human moderators → more automated decisions that often fail (e.g., fakes stay active while real posts get throttled).

Free Speech? Only for those who pay.

  • Premium users (blue checks) get boosted: More reach, more visibility.
  • Free users? Down-ranked, ignored. Your post gets 17 views? Welcome to the club of the invisible.
  • Fakes like @ElonX800? Stay active for months, luring people into scams – because AI doesn't catch them properly and humans are missing.

Humanity Ă  la Musk?

  • Instead of investing in people, he bets on AI – saves money, but costs safety.
  • Critics say: This isn't freedom, it's "Free Speech for the rich." And when it goes wrong (more hate, fakes, disinformation), it's the user's fault.

X promises the gingerbread house – but the oven awaits the free ones.

Is this Elon Musk's #humanity?

Stay vigilant. The big words are empty.
