Elon Musk’s actions after taking over Twitter, while not perfect, have advanced the cause of free speech. Outsider Musk stopping at least some censorship on such a prominent social media platform was the first major crack in an increasingly totalitarian alliance between Big Tech and big government.

Musk used his Twitter account Monday to unmask the innocuously named Global Engagement Center, an agency under the State Department.
Musk tweeted, “The worst offender in US government censorship & media manipulation is an obscure agency called GEC.”
