He's so desperate to divert attention away from his dire leadership, he'll try anything.

Twitter was violationg first amendment on behalf of democrats (government is not allowed to impede with free speech). Twitter employees were not even sure what rule to apply to block that information. Nothing to see there... Democrads good, Musk bad :palm:. Not to say your argument is just nonsencical, he gets attention to himself, not diverts it.
John B:
Perhaps the Americans can confirm, my understanding is that there are specific prohibitions on the US government using corporations and external entities to violate the constitution and 1st amendment by proxy.

Surely this is a tad more important than digs at Musk, even if he did want to draw the news cycle onto something else?

You are confusing public company with the government. To the same extent you can claim that Fox News “violated” the 1st on behave of Republican administration when Trump was POTUS, and CNN “violates” it on behalf of Democratic admins.

Maybe he does, I'm not a psychologist and couldn't properly diagnose him remotely even if I was. I do think it's clear that he has narcissistic traits, that can come in many forms.

The First Amendment does not apply to Twitter which is a corporation, not a branch of the government. The amendment protects an individual against prosecution for speech, it does not prevent a company from controlling what you say on their platform. For example Dave can ban any topic he wants here and the Constitution would do nothing to prevent that, even if he was based in the USA.

I am generally a proponent of free speech, but the first amendment applies to specific circumstances, and Twitter is not one of those.
