There is no libertarian utopia. The world is going to be cruel and unfair in any political system. Libertarians just think small government will create the best outcomes, overall.

This scenario only seems plausible if some supermajority (75%+?) of people are anti-free speech "extremists". If you have a normal amount of extremists, then their attempts at monopolizing everything will fall flat. Every time they try to shut normal people out, they are creating an opportunity for somebody to address their demand. The market opportunity outweighs their wealth, unless the oppressors are plentiful and the oppressed are few. If there is a supermajority of extremists, then social media and roads are probably the least of our worries, no matter what kind of political system we have.

Also, if the oppressors have so much power, why are they not voting to move away from libertarianism to a stronger government? That'd be a much easier pathway to controlling speech and you don't need a super majority.

I agree on your version of libertarianism. I still think monopolies would still form. They may not be permanent, but if the monopoly prevented the spread of ideas then I could see how it could be maintained for a long time. Wouldn't necessarily take a super majority. So, let's just assume that monopolies can still form for long periods of time. Would this situation constitute a free speech crisis even though technically it may not be directly a free speech issue?

I don't agree that this assumption is plausible for most industries in a libertarian environment, particularly with social media. As far as I know, every sustained monopoly in history got/maintained its status in at least one of three ways:
  • Exclusive access to a resource (rare, especially in recent history, but ALCOA would be an example)
  • Cronyism (Ma Bell, the most common type, undesirable, less likely with small government)
  • By being a hell of a business (Standard Oil, completely desirable)
To answer your question, I believe it is a "free speech issue" whether the oppressors are government or not.

For a man who dislikes dogs, Trump has been getting pretty cozy with Laura Loomer lately.

Thats one of the roughest "31 year old" females I've ever seen. Looks like her shelf life expectancy was way before the average of 35.

Laura was a PAWG at one point, what happened?

From PAWG to HAWG. Eating disorder? Idk. 🤷‍♂️ Loomer is a wreck. Needs to be purged. Another example how Trump can’t get out of his own way by allowing her to hang around his camp. With a potential future star in Vivek Ramaswamy in the party, his wife and JD Vance’s wife, this whole tweet deal hits a new level of stupid and lack of awareness on her part.

Trump does have a unique ability to shoot himself in the foot. How anybody thought it was a good idea to have that lunatic in the inner circle is beyond me. Trump may very well win due to the layout of the electoral votes. (No chance he wins the general vote but that doesn’t matter.) But he still has 6 weeks to go and there are plenty more gaffes to come. That has to give his staff some sleepless nights.

She wasn't attractive to begin with, but the plastic surgery has aged her probably 20+ years. Women are so much more attractive when they age naturally and aren't pumped full of fillers and Botox.

I have an ex girlfriend who has been getting the duck lip injections. I have no idea who tells them that sh!t looks good. The plastic surgery almost always looks terrible.
