Entirely missing the point. Before "free speech absolutionist" elon took over twitter, threats like those would be reported and deleted. Elon is too busy chasing after mean tweets towards him and suspending journalists to actually deal with issues like these threats.

Ah, because if the tweets were removed then those people could just keep hiding their hatred. Makes sense.

What? The point of removing them is to not give those views a platform. If they have that platform they can draw like minded people together, and more easily rile themselves up and get enough to support to make those threats credible.

i think it's less about hiding, and more about giving any of these notions any credence.
