Elon: “100% free speech, always!”
MediaMatters: “Here’s evidence Musk is an antisemite.”
Elon: “I’m suing you for speaking freely!”
Is it really thermonuclear if it can easily be dismissed with a couple of screenshots? And he is trying to allege fraud. This is the flimsiest crybaby tantrum he has had yet.
Right? The media matters article screenshots clearly prove it’s allegations. Unless he tries the angle that they were photoshopped (and obviously he needs proof to it) this gets dismissed immediately.
Hoping it doesn’t cost media matters anything or that they can recoup any fees they may incur from this. Nice to have real reporting with proof to back it up like they showed.

This is a funny way to spell ‘frivolous’ when describing a lawsuit

I wouldn’t put it past him to eat grandiose for breakfast even if it’s some bacon and eggs wrapped in edible gold and glass full of his own magnificent piss.
Barratry should still be illegal
Well I just learned a new word. Also wikipedia says it is in some places.
Interesting. Essentially, the act of supporting a barrister. Clever.
This dumb fuck is about to be proven to be a bigot in a US court of law, isn’t he? Discovery & the inevitable counter-suit is going to be 🍿🍿🍿🍿
Legally defined as a bigot is almost as good as one alex jone’s lackies legally being a puppet
“Above everything, including profit, X works to protect the public’s right to free speech. But for speech to be truly free, we must also have the freedom to see or hear things that some people may consider objectionable,” he added.
It’s important to note that one of Musk’s lawyers, not Musk himself, made this statement. That’s because lawyers are immune to levels of irony that would be lethal to an ordinary human.
Yup. Freedom isn’t force, we can all just choose to not look at that shit even if it’s allowed to exist in a dark corner
“We must allow all free speech!”
“OK so I can choose to take my ads somewhere else”
“Wait no not like that”
Musk, the richest man in the world, said today that he will be ‘holding his breath until everyone is nice to him’. The statement came as advertisers grew concerned about being associated with blatant antisemitism. A statement released by Apple claims that Musk is ‘acting up for attention and needs a timeout and possibly a nap.’ Musk responded with a post to X, formerly a semi-legitimate social media platform, that 'Apple is a big meanie who is in bed with the Jews. ’
"Above everything, including profit, X works to protect the public’s right to free speech. But for speech to be truly free, we must also have the freedom to see or hear things that some people may consider objectionable,” he added.
Good to know you believe in free speech. Elmo. So you won’t mind if companies exercise that right by choosing not to advertise on your racist, apartheid-loving network.
But for speech to be truly free, we must also have the freedom to see or hear things that some people may consider objectionable,” he added._
And the freedom to say “that’s objectionable” and choose not to be associated with it.
Elon wants people to have the freedom to hear and see shit that makes them sick, but doesn’t want them to have the freedom to leave it’s presence.
Elon’s a pretty twisted little shit, isn’t he?
That’s not freedom of speech, that’s freedom of association. Different freedoms. Your point remakns though, I’m not arguing, just pointing that out.
Freedom of speech is connected to freedom of association, which also includes the freedom to not speak and to not associate (ie. halting advertising)
Also doesn’t freedom of speech not apply to companies
Pretty sure it only applies to the government
as he has clearly abandoned his handlers, his outward communication gets worse and worse. hes like a stroke victim that refuses assistance, and is declining.
Sounds like every maga republican. Strange they share the same ethos.
“Has our company ever made bad business decisions? Well, we once bought advertising from Twitter. Don’t do that. In the calm, rational, well-weighed opinion of our company, Musk is a massive crybaby and dealing with him is such a fucking fucking headache.” - overheard in a business seminar, 2024

“We’ll, well, well if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions “
Still don’t think anyone has put it better than Owen Jones .
supporting free speech by suing people for speech in the attempt to limit speech. I’m not saying media shouldn’t be held accountable but in the age of PR bullshit do words mean things anymore?
Believing there are limits to free speech is not a crazy thing but just say what you mean. Media watchdog said things you don’t like so you’re suing them.
I’m sure all those big companies are really worried.
he wishes he had actual nukes… that’s the one thing in this world he really, really wants…
That’s why he’s been making rockets, so that when he gets his hands on warheads, he already has a launch vehicle.
something I hadn’t considered until right now is what if spaceX gets a contract for replacement ICBM launch vehicles or for a new whole weapon. Seeing what he does with Tesla and the owners lack of real ownership could be a warning sign
