Inciting violence is against the law. In my view posting swastikas is an incitement to violence. The context is important, he is saying he likes Hitler; Alex Jones is telling him to calm down; I made the decision; I wanted to punch Kanye.

4/ What do you say about Media downplaying the #twitterfiles & Hunter Biden Story?
@elonmusk: They are downplaying because they're complicit in deceiving the American public. Rather than admit that they lied to the public they have to call it a nothing burger. Shame on them.

@elonmusk 12/ What are you going to do about shadow bans?
I have only been on the job a month, and I have a long list of things to do.
