POLIBIZ – On the stage of a Trump rally for the first time, Elon Musk, wearing a MAGA hat but not a red one, in a few short sentences, emphasized the importance of Trump’s election victory for the future of America: to preserve the US Constitution, to protect the freedom of speech, to ensure the election integrity and transparency. Elon spent the rest of his remarks calling for audience to register voting before the deadlines of each state, and mobilize the ones they “know and even don’t know” to vote.

There have been some bases and evidences for Elon’s alarms over the freedom of speech under a future Harris Administration if she is elected.
On 4th Sept, the former Secretary of State under the Obama Administration John Kerry called the First Amendment a 'major block' to stopping 'disinformation' in a World Economic Forum panel on Green Energy. "So what we need is to win the ground, win the right to govern, by hopefully winning enough votes that you're free to be able to implement change.", said Kerry.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted in a letter dated August 26, 2024 to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) that his company, Facebook, was pressured by the Biden-Harris administration to censor Americans, particularly regarding content about COVID-19.
The letter was quoted as saying “In 2021, senior officials from the Biden Administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn't agree.
...
Ultimately, it was our decision whether or not to take content down, and we own our decisions, including COVID-19-related changes we made to our enforcement in the wake of this pressure. I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it.”
During the vice presidential debate with Tim Walz, Trump's running mate JD Vance also highlighted his concepts on free speech: “I believe that we actually do have a threat to democracy in this country but unfortunately it's not the threat to democracy that Kamala Harris and Tim Walt want to talk about it is the threat of censorship. It's Americans casting aside lifelong friendships because of disagreements over politics. It's big technology companies silencing their fellow citizens and it's Kamala Harris saying that rather than debate and persuade her fellow Americans, she'd like to censor people who engage in misinformation”.
Vance continued: “I think that is a much bigger threat to democracy than anything that we've seen in this country in the last 40 years. Now I'm really proud especially given that I was raised by two lifelong Blue Collar Democrats to have the endorsement of Bobby Kennedy Jr and Tulsi gabard lifelong leaders in the Democratic Coalition. And of course they don't agree with me and Donald Trump on every issue we don't have to agree on every issue but we're united behind a basic American First Amendment principle that we ought to debate our differences.... Kamla Harris is engaged in censorship at an industrial scale she did it during Covid she's done it over a number of other issues and that to me is a much bigger threat to democracy than what Donald Trump said when he said that protesters should peacefully protest on January the 6th”.
