Replacing private monopsony’s with a state one doesn’t help in the slightest. States also engage in rabble rousing, shaping debate and even crime. Questioning the legitimacy of the state or its organs is not harm or mass panic it is the most sacred civil right in a democracy. Whether that right is being protected by assholes or angels is irrelevant. Whether or not there should be interop (I broadly agree with you on that) is irrelevant. In the matter at hand, a Brazilian Supreme Court judge is the one violating civil and human rights.
The Media Matters trial is completely different. It is being conducted according to established laws and will fail or succeed based on those laws. Elon Musk has the same right to try his luck in the courts as any other citizen. Other people’s jealousy and resentment towards him does not change that.
