Everyone's rightly dragging Elon for not understanding the Kobayashi Maru test & being a fake nerd. But there's something more insidious here. He's saying that free speech is an unsolvable problem, thus laying the groundwork for openly abandoning his supposed commitment to it.

The Maryland shooter stalked and harassed a woman online, then online harassed the paper that reported on it, then murdered several people working at that paper. But you know the internet isn't real life and if you can't handle a few angry messages get off social media right?
