Tesla just got $17 billion from the government, is Musk now owned by the USA government? No.
A coal miner just got laid off work and is collecting his first unemployment check while he looks for new work. Because he got support from the government between jobs, does that mean the government owns him like a slave?
Or perhaps you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about? Yes, that seems to be the case.
I’m just saying there can be a case made in front of a judge about the government funding these companies and then using these companies to reprive people of their 1st amendment rights as they have been proven to have done on X.
But whatever you say… Coal miners… Unemployment… Between jobs… Slavery… Wtf are you talking about?
as for “what I’m talking about” - the same thing you are. Government giving money.
Tell me, how is the government giving money as an unemployment check different to the government giving money to a company? And if your logic is “if the government gives you money, that means the government owns you, that means 1st amendment”, then tell us all how someone who is getting money from the government isn’t just as owned and controlled?
They sure have received a lot of government/taxpayer money for being such a private anti free speech company.

Because you’re an idiot, that’s how.
There is no case, because they’re not the government. End of discussion. 1st amendment has nothing to do here.
