I was unaware that Elon had a trans kid. I wonder how much that weighed in to his red-pilling? Especially since the kid apparently hates him, and not only swallowed the trans koolaid, but the Marxist swill as well.

Musk's "daughter"....  ;/

Musk has a mentally ill son.   A mental illness that the left thinks is wonderful, stunning and brave.  =(

He should support the kid's philosophy by not giving him another dime.

Elon Musk is suing the Anti-Defamation League for 'roughly $22billion' for allegedly trying to destroy X by accusing him and the social media giant of being anti-Semitic.

In a series of tweets sent out Monday night, Musk, 52, said he plans to sue the ADL 'to clear our platform's name on the matter of anti-Semitism.'

'It looks like we have no choice but to file a defamation lawsuit against the Anti-Defamation League … oh the irony!' the billionaire wrote.

He added: 'In our case, they would potentially be on the hook for destroying half the value of the company, so roughly $22 billion.'

Elon Musk sues the Anti-Defamation League for $22 BILLION for 'trying to kill X by falsely accusing it and me of being anti-Semitic':

Or not.

From the article:

Quote
In a series of tweets sent out Monday night, Musk, 52, said he plans to sue the ADL 'to clear our platform's name on the matter of anti-Semitism.'
...
It's unclear whether or not Musk and his lawyers have filed an initial complaint against ADL

Musk has a documented history of saying he's going to do something, and then not doing it.

Quote
Musk's battle with the ADL began Monday morning when he called out the organization for being responsible for the company's quickly falling profits

Good luck proving that in court, Elon.

They really have it out for him don't they?
Now they're digging up his grandfather

Quote
The New Yorker
@NewYorker
Elon Musk’s grandfather was a pro-apartheid, antisemitic conspiracy theorist. Although his views are not Musk’s responsibility, “what would happen to those rantings, if they were posted on X today, really does lie at his doorstep,” Jill Lepore writes.

And suppose those views were posted on Twitter X today. So what? Either the platform allows freedom of opinion and expression, or it doesn't. As long as it doesn't actively advocate the overthrowal of a legitimate government, an opinion isn't illegal. Those who don't like an opinion are free to ignore it and read opinions they find more accommodating.

That said, Elon Musk has proven that he's not really the free speech advocate he claims to be.

While not perfect and there have been some missteps along the way he's been trying to toe the fine line between willey nilly free speech and letting what many would call "hate speech" get out of control. Twitter, sorry X, has definitely been the better for it and it's got the lib's panties twisted up in a knot which is good in my book  =D
I think some of the decisions some have placed on him has actually been done by many holdovers from the old twitter regime many of which he has gone and reversed. I mean he's not the one policing every post like some seem to think.

It's been interesting to me over the last 60 years how many people I know who went off to college as normal people and came home fully committed libtards and throw the word fascist around as if they actually knew what that word meant. :old:

Pretty much they use it describe anyone who is not in complete total lockstep with the latest leftest fad.
They really hate it when you explain to them that Nazism and Fascism are actually two different things and that they were both socialist

He loves messing with people who have taken to labeling and attacking him as a extreme right winger while in reality he sits a bit on both sides of the middle line depending on the issue and he has the money and the resources that they can't shut him down like they have so many others.

TESLA ROBOTS ATTACK!
TESLA ROBOT TERROR!

Quote
The robot had pinned the man, who was then programming software for two disabled Tesla robots nearby, before sinking its metal claws into the worker's back and arm, leaving a 'trail of blood' along the factory surface.

The incident - which left the victim with an 'open wound' on his left hand - was revealed in a 2021 injury report filed to Travis county and federal regulators, which has been reviewed by DailyMail.com.

OMG!

Once you get pass the hyperventilating reporting he suffered a couple of cuts and it's a story of don't in the way of auto machinery which is nothing new.
Oh and he didn't even require any time off.

Meanwhile they go on to say injuries are under reported which could be said about anywhere.
Bet dollars to donuts 99.9% of those injured are nothing to even report and more than likely the fault of the injured

I'm posting this here because it's an example of how the media hyperventilates over anything bad real or imagined that happens with anything remotely related to Elon since he became enemy of the people #2.
Meanwhile ambulances are almost a daily thing at the two (union) Ford factories.
