I'm going to have to put more butter on this popcorn while I watch this Musk/Apple dust-up.

Musk is accusing Apple of hating free speech.

They won't, but I really want Apple to respond with "Yeah bro. Have you even heard of us? We're the OG walled garden. The *vertical* monopoly. Our whole *deal* is 'Pay us to think for you.' Our *vibe* is "safety and comfort." Our *unofficial logo* is the rounded rectangle. You think you're a problem for us? Our users *pay us money* to deal with *problems like you.* *For them.* *Efffffff* your frozen peaches."

... they won't say it.

...**But they could.**

@mtomczak
The best way to think of Apple is: They are the real-world example of the "spherical trust" of "The Space Merchants."

@2ck It's a corruption of "free speech" ("free speech" --> "freeze peach" --> "frozen peaches"), used as a pejorative for people who use the term thoughtlessly with no care paid to the legal, moral, or philosophical meanings of the term.
