What lawsuit? All I see is a scared CEO flapping his lips about using the legal system to chill the free speech of a group he does not like for calling out his Naziesque rhetoric. It is now well past "The split second court opens on Monday," and yet, no lawsuit. It's almost like he doesn't actually have a case.

    > Twitter paid neo-Nazis to write racist propaganda. Hold on, I'm all about dumping on Musk and Twitter and now their unholy hate-spawn X (which I still call twitter for reasons beyond but not excluding spite)... but I'm gonna need to see a source for that one.

      Sure! https://www.mediamatters.org/twitter/pro-hitler-and-holocaust-denier-account-x-has-paid-me-3000-ad-revenue-sharing https://www.mediamatters.org/twitter/pro-hitler-and-holocaus... This seems like merely ineptitude rather than malice, but it happened.

  So you are saying that Elon Musk publicly posted proof of Media Matters statements are real before filing a slander case? This is why legal threats from non-lawyers is lulzy. You make mistakes like destroying your own case before it is even filed. ------- Normally that factoid would be hidden until discovery. But hey, Elon went and posted the methodology and proof of it to the internet.

  Ah yes, hours after the comment and much later than the moment the courts open. This reads like a petulant press release and nor an actual legal document. It feels like they even stipulate that Media Matters was right and they did display ads next to Nazi propaganda, but Musk is getting huffy about the technique MM used to expose this flaw in their system. Side note: how long did it take you to replay to just about every thread in this article with a link to Musk's temper tantrum?
