TUCKER CARLSON: Elon Musk is committing this unforgivable sin to the left
Fox News
Fox News host Tucker Carlson reveals why the left really does not want Tesla CEO Elon Musk to buy Twitter and he may soon reach a deal on "Tucker Carlson Tonight."
It's central not simply to freedom, but to humanity. It's not opposable thumbs that separate us from the animals. It's words. We can speak. That's our power — words. "In the beginning was the Word," declares John at the opening of the fourth gospel. The word. The word is the most important thing that we have. Take away our ability to choose our own words, and we are no longer fully human. We are subjects. We're chattel.
Authoritarians understand this above all. That's why they hate freedom of speech. In fact, if you gave them a choice, they'd let you have a fully automatic, 50 caliber machine gun before they allowed you to say exactly what you want. With the gun, you might be able to kill people, but with words, you can expose them.
