carries over to legal immigrants, including himself. And I think he believes that by diminishing the illegal or the non-citizens in this country and asking for their removal, it improves the standing of the legal immigrants, including himself. And so that's kind of my theory on both of those things.
Here's why I disagree. You don't take other people's money to do that.

Yeah, but he knew that I think he went in, opened eyes, carried the sink in the door to run it with some improvements operationally, which he did a great job of.

So I've heard from a lot of those folks. And it's not so much... When you talk about free speech, free speech applies to advertisers as well. They get to associate with whoever they want to, no matter what. So there are repercussions.

I have no problem with free speech. Look, I've always said people like get rid of the anti-Semitic people. You get anti-Semitic tropes. I get, you know, zillions of anti-Semitic tropes, you know, in my replies. Just they're nonstop. I mean, I'm not white.

But you got to pay the bill when you're willing to accept that. I don't think he realized just how deep users will go in order to use their free speech. And I think that really surprised him.

Yeah, and that's fine. Obviously, it's his choice. That's free speech by definition.

Yep, $10 billion. I mean, what do you think about this? I mean, look, it's their company. They get to do what they want.
