Sometimes it is.
For example, name plate on the mailbox is publicly available, but posting the address with full name online constitutes doxxing.
> a free speech "absolutist" like Musk is a complete hypocrite
One guy once said, who never changes his/her opinion, is a moron.
You might be referring to JM Keynes: "When the facts change, I change my mind."
The question is what facts are changing? Here, it looks like the only difference is that something bad happened to HIM.
People change mind even if facts do not change.
Musk will continue to censor speech he doesn't like arbitrarily and use Twitter to promote right-wing extremists who will then hurt real people in the real world.
I did not see evidence of that.
Musk is a right-wing extremist who will protect his own.
