Rock artist Jack White had a lot of feelings to share after Elon Musk reinstated Donald Trump’s Twitter account this month.

White has referred to Musk’s decision as “absolutely disgusting” in one Instagram post, writing that “Trump was removed from Twitter because he incited violence multiple times, people died and were injured as a result of his lies and his ego, (let alone what his coup did to attempt to destroy democracy and our Capitol).”

White has now made a more recent Instagram post upon Musk banning Kanye West’s Twitter where he seems to ponder the possibility of a double standard between Trump and other Twitter users that have been banned for inciting violence.

Stereogum shares White’s post to his Instagram account where he asks Musk, “So Elon, how’s that “free speech” thing working out?” White goes on to post “Oh, I see, so you have to CHOOSE who gets free speech and who doesn’t then? What kind of crybaby liberal suspends someone’s free speech?…It’s nice to watch in real time as you learn that all things need to be regulated, whether that be guns, drugs, alcohol, assembly, or speech because of the danger of someone or something being hurt or destroyed. They’re sometimes called “laws.” And perhaps you’re learning how harmful it can be when you let dangerous, hateful people say whatever they want on your stage.”
