The affected parties will counter sue. I have no idea who X is using for legal counsel, but they are not the best. Methinks this is a form of "advertising" designed to gin up right-wing ire and get them using X. Think of it as "social advertising." I suspect it will backfire massively.
- cratermoon 2y agoNo doubt the MAGA crew will respond by advocating for boycotts of the advertisers listed. Remember when they boycotted Bud Light because Dylan Mulvaney did a promo for it?
- keernan 2y agoUnder Musk's legal theory, advocating for boycotts is illegal.
- taylodl 2y agoYeah, it's unfortunate for X that Musk's "legal theory" doesn't align with the legal theory actually used by US courts
- cratermoon 2y agoUnder Musk's legal delusions, "free speech" means "if you don't listen to what I say you're censoring me"
- keernan 2y agoIn that regard, his argument that corporate entities are illegally censoring X for political views flies in the face of the SCOTUS opinion in Citizens United. Ironic since Citizens United enables billionaires like Musk to use their corporate entities to engage in political speech. Musk is just a child who expects the world to bow down in his presence.
