Like what? Reporting him to the SEC to have him arrested instead? Suing him (as Musk threatened to do)? Are those really better options?
> This doesn't justify musk's behavior, throwing his massive financial klout around to silence skeptics (even a crack pots)
When those same "crack pots" organize online brigades to bully journalists into deleting their Twitter accounts, that's ok? (https://jalopnik.com/wall-street-journals-dan-neil-deletes-twitter-after-tes-1827785899 https://jalopnik.com/wall-street-journals-dan-neil-deletes-t...)
I don't think you quite realize what a dirtbag this guy is.
To review: This is a guy who promoted misinformation (falsehoods) online, and did so for financial gain. Who bullied real-world people to suppress their freedom of speech and promote his own world-view. Who hid behind a pseudonym and made himself hard to contact. Who then (disingenuously) complained that nobody corrected his misinformation or asked him to stop (they did) at his pseudonym before contacting him in person.
I'm sorry, but I just have no sympathy for that. This is a bad person, and, frankly, I don't believe it's Musk's financial clout that forced him to stop.
