Mike Masnick is probably one of the most critical people of Elon. You've may have read one of his articles prior, perhaps in the early days when Elon bought Twitter. His analysis of Elon's obligations to purchase Twitter, criticism of Elon's approach to content moderation (and lack of understanding), it's all been pretty good and legally sound.
The fact that he is praising Elon here says something.

- MichaelDickens 3y agoIn theory, where people are perfect reasoners, it doesn't. Realistically, people tend to form opinions that fit the narratives they want. If someone who normally takes one side of a politicized issue instead takes the other side, that suggests that the case for the other side is particularly compelling because it compelled this person to switch sides.
- freejazz 3y agoI'm more interested in his qualifications in legal analysis to come to his conclusion that Musk's challenge is strong, and frankly, I don't really think his opinions on Musk have a strong bearing there. Especially given the fact that I don't think there is a reasonable legal basis to say the challenge is strong. So him being against Musk has gotten me nowhere in this.
