What speech was censored? Look, this whole thing is silly, but there is no censoring of anything.
They were literally going back and forth in this skit.

As a nerd myself, I dont want to live in a world run by nerds. Zuckerberg already ruined the internet, and now Elon is ruining social media.
Soon the rest of the world will be a shitshow thanks to these morons who keep investing in AI not realizing what it will do to the society.

I used to like listening to Sam from time to time but the Russia laptop hoax and justifying deplatforming people for posting something that is true to enforce false narratives = unfollow.
He admits as much and plays a lot of games off stream so that he isn't distracted and missing as many mechanics.
As for him being good at games, I think he basically agrees that he isn't good at games but he'll grind and he's good at finding cheese.
Because the dude's pretty hilarious? And he's not a ResetERA style gamer?

I don't think he wants to be called a fraud. That's not the sort of content you want to give attention to when you claim to be a high-level, competitive gamer. He had a meltdown.

Elon should just humble himself,eat crow and admit he lied, even spin it somehow to save face.

Ngl, I've tired his Elden Ring "I am too retarded to dodge"-build. And it's pretty good:

He takes away the blue tick, and thus the "authenticity" of his account, and all because Elonia is offended. That's ridiculous.

I'm glad it's back, but others on the platform aren't so fortunate. It would be a sad reality if Facebook / Meta ends up with better freedom of speech than X, because Zuck either follows the way the wind is blowing or just doesn't want to fight with the government, and Musk instead feels justified in harming specific users when it comes to their speech being seen in the algorithm.
[edit] I will say I'm glad Musk still allows himself to be community noted, and his posts about this have some great examples of that.

Guys, let's pause for a second.
Regardless of whether it's true or not, the richest guy in the world, who's started some of the most advanced companies on the planet, who puts rockets into space and catches them with metallic arms as they come back down…
… is having an online spat to prove he is an elite gamer in an action RPG.
Whether he's paying someone to farm his account, or whether he's playing it himself… is equally pathetic.

Once again. No speech was censored, and it was back quicktly.
I think they're both trolling, FWIW.
E...elon?

He's a "counterculture" gamer who only plays popular stuff and repeats the same opinion of millions of people.

No clue, for awhile Elon and Asmon were two names you could guarantee at least 1-5 threads about a week, lol.

They are both embarrassments. It's just Asmongold is the least dickhead of this story.

I find it interesting how fast he has lost his entire platform with the younger generation. I always felt something was inauthentic and weird about him. His family seemed crazy with his dad marrying his new wife's daughter going full Woody. My son is 18 and three years ago all his friends loved Elon. Now they think he is a full blown retard, extremly false person and laugh at him. It has been such a quick process.
When I grew up there were many global leaders to look up to 'he/she seems very competent/smart' etc. For my son's generation it is a complete clown show at the top. Not good for society. This erodes the trust we must have in basic principles and institutions for society to function.

Asmon also seems to know that he's a degenerate retard. Elon still thinks he's Tony Stark.

Internet drama, always side with the geniuses and it's not this internet dude. Sorry if that hurts some of people's feelings. I think this is making a mountain out of a molehill but let this idiot internet YouTube person have the notoriety cuz I think it will benefit him. Other people actually have tangible serious things to do.

Well, I think its our fault for putting these man children on the pedestal. We value this kind of brash, asshole-ish and boisterous behavior. I mean this guy is literally compared to Tesla. Tesla is probably turning in his grave.
hell, even our scientists nowadays are basically media personalities who go from podcast to podcast boosting their profiles via shorts and tiktoks to make a name for themselves. The real scientists are heads down working in a lab in a basement somewhere but I find it amazing that while Einstein was a rockstar during his time, he never actually sought publicity like so many of these astrophysicists do nowadays.
Steve Jobs and Bill Gates also ushered in this new era of people worshipping entrepreneurs instead of actual geniuses. Now we worship billionares simply because they are billionares. I think Stephen hawkins might be the last real scientist who became a celebrity for doing something extraordinary. Everyone else is just either rich or good at presenting.
But like you said, people are catching on and hopefully we will self correct in a few years. Sad thing is that we have put all our faith into politicians to lead us when politicians by definition are corrupt and slimy. We need true leaders who are not interested in becoming rich or holding office, but not many of those around nowadays.

Elon actually got me to gain an iota of respect for Asmon, that's an achievement of itself. He handled this better than the billionaire oligarch with connections to the most powerful people on the planet.

Be surprised if he lasts a year in government
If he gets like this over a twitch streamer calling him out, he's going to get on Trumps nerves very very quickly. Two egotists of this caliber don't tend to gel will and find easy compromise.

How much more evidence is needed that Elon is retarded and is only rich for pumping Tesla Stock and Failing upwards in the most spectacular fashion imaginable?

Elons never cared about free speech or censorship dude.
Real censorship I.e. when a government does it has gone up since he took over twitter.
Twitter Has Complied With Almost Every Government Request For Censorship Since Musk Took Over, Report Finds
The social media platform has not reported denying any government requests since Musk bought it, a change from its previous ownership.

Censorship is censorship, whether it's government or private.
Where were these articles from Forbes when they were complying 100% prior to him buying it?

Some of the takes in here are fucking wild.
Did he most likely lie about playing these games? Probably. Is that ridiculous? Yes.
But acting like this dude is just dumb and hasn't achieved insane things (that you never will) is quite the fucking take.
SpaceX caught a fucking rocket.
