“Free speech” means agreeing with me tiny human

Self-proclaimed free speech advocate Elon [look at me] Musk has fired a Twitter engineer for correcting him.

To show how much free speech he had available to him, Musk bragged about the firing on his account.

Eric Frohnhoefer dared to argue publicly with Musk on the platform after Musk claimed that Twitter was slow in many countries because of more than 1,000 “poorly batched” remote procedure calls to load the home timeline.

Frohnhoefer, who tweeted that he’s spent six years working on Twitter for Android, quote retweeted Musk’s statement saying it was incorrect and to make matters worse told the public why his boss was wrong.

According to Frohnhoefer, Twitter actually makes zero remote procedure calls, or RPCs. Instead, he says, when the app starts up, it makes around 20 background requests.
