Depends.
No follow; I’ll follow thru my contacts who will follow him.
I’ll check in on him, read some comments.
If he tries to grift on his past notoriety, he’s out.

Recently YouTube has been suggesting videos featuring Fuentes to me completely out of the blue.

I hadn't watched anything of his for years, and the last few things were people doing guilt by association on Trump for his visit with Kanye to Mar A Lago.

He’s a moron, but free speech is free speech.

Well, the context was Twit/X, so there’s that. And while everyone hates google and flakebook, X seems to be enjoy the favor of anyone to the right of Chuck Schumer lately. I get that - compared to Scary Jack, Elon looks like John Wayne. But how quickly memory of his creeoy wiccan wife fades.

But notwithstanding any of that, concentrations of power in any way, shape, or form are supposed to be suspect to conservatives, even when they are held by seemingly benevolent actors. Human nature and all.

And that was really my only point. That Elon, the fair-haired guardian of Free Speech, holds too much power, but people seem to not notice that.

Pax!

I would agree. But Musk is a far lesser light in the social media space than the other companies. what they do that musk does not do —is hide behind their corporate veils. you see the actions of the corporations but not the actions of the individuals. With musk you see the actions of the individual. Its easier to get into a pissing match with the individual than it is with the corporation.

also, it’s nice to hear someone with influence saying something that sounds a little like common sense once in a while.

I shouldn’t have to say this but I don’t have a problem with ANYTHING said or posted in public unless “Fire’ in a crowded theater,
Especially what ANYone considers hate speech.

He already had a group of twits that posted his videos all over twitter, particularly on threads about Israel. I blocked a few, all of which had “groyper” as some part of their user name, but they are like bots, and just pop up under another name. All of it was anti-semitic trash. I’ll block Fuentes, but I assume his bots will continue to post his Nazi garbage to push his hate.
