the one place that you can express yourself freely and openly —
Unless you are trans or care about trans issues or are even curious about gender identity issues or if you are against Musk personally or against nazis or conservatives(same thing) or against spreading misinformation or deep fakes with politicians in them or just plain old conspiracy theories. I mean, other than that stuff and a lot more, you are totally free.
I mean, he’s got no leg to stand on. This isn’t even just a free speech issue, it’s a compelled speech issue. You can’t force people too use your platform just because you’re mad it’s losing popularity.
Let’s take this to the conclusion he wants… advertisers are now forced to put ads on shitter: “Elon Musk is a little piss baby…brought to you by Carl’s Jr”
Honestly, I’d respect this but might have the intended effect of people coming back to twitter to see the ad.
Yeah at most he could try for breach of contract if they broke their contract to leave. But if they already were no longer under contract or they could prove material cause to break the contract then there’s not much he can do.
its kinda fun watching a piece of shit human being trip over himself, landing square on his own face.
a delight!
Neat. I’m going to sue Tesla for not giving me a free car!
If you’re wealthy they let you do it. Just grab the DOJ by the…

Fetch should not happen, but this should.
overpays for twitter, reduces revenue, increases legal costs… doesn’t sound like business genius
Government mandated ad-buys don’t sound very “free speech” to me.
Doesn’t sound “free market” either.
How do Elmo and Linda figure any potential future advertisers will look at this?
I’d like the official GARM (defendant) response to be “Go fuck yourself”.
What’s this? The consequences of his own actions?!?
This man was able to permanently delete this picture from the internet forever. I wouldn’t fuck with him
Need to get rid of the yes-peeps and get some reality-peeps cause you know no lawyer worth a shit thinks this is a good case, yet they’ve filed it because a ketamine freak is mad that he’s ruined his latest toy.
Someone is suing Fromsoft because Shadow of the Ertree is “too hard.” Clearly there are lawyers that would take really dumb, unwinnable cases like this one.
I don’t know that “advertise on my platform or I’ll sue you” is going to work any better than “go fuck yourselves” when it comes to attracting advertising revenue to your website.
I hope they argue in court that he told them to go fuck themselves, so they followed his orders…much like the famed warship of old.
it’s called freedom of expression .
users are expressing their opinions on Elon’s actions by leaving.
companies are expressing their opinions on Elon’s actions by not advertising.
Elon should just go away.
First amendment for me but not for thee.
