Earlier today I read that Twit...X had threatened to sue and got quite an epic reply from CCDH lawyers which underlined the many ways in which a lawsuit would hurt X first and foremost. Apparently they decided to have a go anyway. Time to get some popcorn 🍿
- I mean, he's clearly trying to run the place into the ground
  
  Is he?
  With his being on the spectrum social things are not his strong point, and this is all social.
  I think he probably thinks he's fighting a good fight, doesn't see how big a fucking hypocrite he is, and is running it into the ground at warp speed because of it.
  Edit: or he's turning it into a right wing cess pool intentionally, but he doesn't think he's running it into the ground. Either way, I don't think he wants to be running it into the ground.
  
  Nah that's a cop out. He changed the name to X so it's his baby he's going to abuse like the rest of his kids.
Good way to get the research more publicity, Elon once again proves he doesn't understand how to run a business.
- He's been smoking some strong stuff for a while now..😂
  
  Remember when he and Confinity merged their companies and everyone involved wanted to call the new company PayPal, but Elon wanted to call it X.com, and also wanted completely to rewrite the backend to use windows? Yeah, he's always been smoking the strong stuff. Or he's just an idiot who grew up with Apartheid Emerald money, then scammed up a massive stock price with a carbon credit trade scheme that's just this side of illegal...
  
  Elon got a hit of that OG Reefer Madness on Joe Rogan's show and went permanently insane just like DARE always said we would
  
  Weed doesn't make people aggressive like this.
how many times do I have to make the free speech joke, old man
Free speech! No, not like that!
this just in, manbaby has a tantrum. More at 10.
Discovery gon' be lit
- Hell yeah. He had to buy Twitter because early discovery was filled with shit that pissed off Valley power players and made it clear he was an idiot.
I think that if we start innundating this submissions with comments complaining about it we might be able to curb the social media spam in techhonoly groups.
after all the people that don't like this comments can take their own advice and skip it. hopefully we can reach a critical mass where discussion is hindered and they start submitting this spam to a social media magazine/channel.
People posting the hate speech agree with Elon so he does this.
Elon is really going above and beyond in his quest to disprove the saying “any publicity is good publicity”.
In direct response to CCDH’s efforts, some companies have paused their advertising spend on X. CCDH’s unlawful conduct as alleged herein has directly and proximately damaged X Corp. in an amount to be proven at trial, but in any event at least tens of millions of dollars that X Corp. estimates it has lost in advertising revenues and other costs incurred. More fundamentally still, CCDH's scare campaign to global advertisers and its on-going pressure on brands is an attempt to stifle freedom of speech on the X platform.
How does advertisers going off platform stop them from speaking?
They also use rudimentary tactics like labeling as “hate speech” content that merely does not conform to CCDH’s ideological views, and counting the number of mentions of selectively chosen keywords on a platform while ignoring the context in which those words were mentioned.
Ohhhh this isn't regular hate speech, it's nuanced and respectful if only you considered its context.
