It's just random words from the Twitter king for now. I think that it will be a difficult case and that the Lawyers will shy away from trying to go through with that insanity.
Legal threats from a non-lawyer have very, very low risk. People only pay attention when an actual lawyer is involved.
When you can provide a court and a docket number for that lawsuit, we can treat it a real thing that exists rather than empty threat that doesn't because it would have no merit and probably also subject Musk to penalties under the applicable anti-SLAPP laws.
What lawsuit? All I see is a scared CEO flapping his lips about using the legal system to chill the free speech of a group he does not like for calling out his Naziesque rhetoric. It is now well past "The split second court opens on Monday," and yet, no lawsuit. It's almost like he doesn't actually have a case.
Ah yes, hours after the comment and much later than the moment the courts open.
This reads like a petulant press release and nor an actual legal document. It feels like they even stipulate that Media Matters was right and they did display ads next to Nazi propaganda, but Musk is getting huffy about the technique MM used to expose this flaw in their system.
Side note: how long did it take you to replay to just about every thread in this article with a link to Musk's temper tantrum?
