I have seen the discussion here started by our friend Thomas Lord titled "thank you elon musk." I decided to start a new thread to discuss the issue from a different dimension. I have a question for free software supporters here: What is Elon Musk's position regarding free software? Has he made any notable statements which give us some idea? --- Elon Musk considers himself a supporter of "free speech." He believes that Twitter does not respect free speech enough and desires to change that. Experts point out that this is easier said than done; numerous articles have appeared in recent days examining realistic implications. When considering free speech the words of George Orwell come to mind: "Freedom of thought is the freedom to say that two and two make four. That granted, all else follows." Free software means you have the freedom to share good a program which add things correctly and you also have to freedom to correct a program which doesn't. Such freedom implies the right to discuss in public problems one encounters, which is of course, freedom of speech. One must also consider the fact that free software provides vital functions which make social media platforms such as Twitter possible. So if Elon Musk likes free speech, he should be a supporter of free software. I wonder whether he explicitly states so. _______________________________________________ libreplanet-discuss mailing list libreplanet-discuss@libreplanet.org https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
