Occasionally Elon walks by our cell with the keys to our freedom jingling on his hip. And every time we reach for them he backs away and says, "Eight dollars."

If you prefer to silence and suppress people who say things you don't like—as opposed to merely blocking, muting, or ignoring them—then you're more dangerous than anything they might say.
You could also try reasoning with or refuting them. Those are healthy, non-evil options, too.

If you're a filthy fascist then you deserve to have the government and big tech work together to rip out your tongue and compel your compliance.
We must fight fascism with fascism.

What about a gold check mark on Twitter for $5,000. And no character limit, since rich people say the most important things.

It should definitely cost something to protect your tweets to avoid a ratio. Per-minute protection charge.

You know where people are going to talk about the downfall of Twitter?
Twitter.

Twitter wrestles with a dilemma created by their commitment to keeping these two promises:
1. "We will not censor anything truthful."
2. "We will censor hateful speech."
Statements like "Men who identify as women are not actually women" are objectively and obviously true, but deemed hateful by everyone on the Left. So whenever these statements are made, Twitter must choose between honoring one or the other promise. And truth always loses.
Here I'm looking at the problem from only one angle. Obviously there are other serious problems with their promise to not censor anything truthful. Beyond the fact that tech companies are terrible at determining what's true, free people have a right to be wrong.
