Musk and Twitter

[Ben]

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:

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.

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.

Hopefully the next time he sits down at a meeting, the floor doesn't open up under his chair and he falls into a shark tank.

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

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.

Late night Elon tweets are the best Elon tweets

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 
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.
