CoinVoice has learned that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has called on Musk to 'cool down' as his platform sparked a new free speech controversy amid a heated debate about foreign tech workers.
Musk publicly supports top American companies hiring foreign tech workers, a move that has sparked outrage among conservatives on X, who believe that hiring conditions in the U.S. are becoming increasingly unfavorable for local citizens.
Vitalik stated that while he admires Musk's willingness to fight for free speech, he urges Musk to 'cool down', moderate the 'tone of discourse', and stop using the 'social media banhammer' to shut down X accounts.
Vitalik stated: 'It is easy to respect free speech when we agree with the speech, and difficult when we find the speech scary. But the reason to respect free speech remains constant: today the ban is in the hands of one side, and tomorrow it may be in the hands of another.' [Original link]
