George Rouncewell posted:He will still win though No he won't. He'll take standard Elon Musk behavior and drop the case before any discovery can be done against him. This isn't a case he intends to win, it's just a tough guy stunt to feed some meat to his idiot fanbase and their conspiracy-victimhood complex, and to try to scare anyone else from ever daring to criticize him knowing the fact that he filed the suit will get lots of big headlines but the fact he's going to eventually quietly drop the suit won't be as widely reported on.

He's since kept doubling down causing more companies to also pull out.

Halisnacks posted:Did the brands that stopped buying ads on X cite the Media Matters report as the reason they stopped? lol, nope. it was generally around Musk putting Nazi's on blast, and good for them if they dont want to touch the poop toi correct the MM narrative. (they should although, we can be pretty sure its just a pause while they hope poo poo calms down enough for them to advertise again, everything to do with MM is performative nonsense)

Halisnacks posted:Did the brands that stopped buying ads on X cite the Media Matters report as the reason they stopped? I don't think any of them did. It seemed to be more Musks direct statements re: "The Jews" than the Media Matters report (and probably you know all his racist poo poo before that probably added to the decision, but that seemed to be what put it over the line). Pretty sure the first recent major ad stops were before Media Matters.

regardless of the timeline of events, the points that MM raised made it easier for other sets of advertisers to leave that were on the fence, looking at it from an advertising perspective, "great more space means more eyes on our ads" they dgaf about the politics those eyes belong to, nazi's still buy cars, and so on, MM gives someone something to point at and say "yeah, maybe not"

The response didn't help either. Saying we know there's nazi poo poo on our site, we know sometimes ad's will be shown next to it, no were not going to do anything about it, just gonna sue anyone who points it out. Like it really let's advertises what sort of priority there gonna be getting if they advertise on twitter. For big advertising dollar companies like, why would you stick around. Bunch of other places will make sure your ads will be seen exactly how you want them to be.

Halisnacks posted:Did the brands that stopped buying ads on X cite the Media Matters report as the reason they stopped? The white house letter refers to his tweet saying an antisemitic conspiracy theory is "the absolute truth" explicitly. quote:We condemn this abhorrent promotion of antisemitic and racist hate in the strongest terms, which runs against our core values as Americans. It is unacceptable to repeat the hideous lie behind the most fatal act of antisemitism in American history at any time, let alone one month after the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust. I think IBM mentioned ads, but anyone else I saw give a message with more context cited the promotion of such content rather than their ads being next to such content. I think Elon is trying to shift the narrative to scapegoat Media Matters, or he's so dumb/egotistical he doesn't comprehend that it's his fault.

Bingo. Assuming it survives a motion to move it to an appropriate venue, assuming it gets past a motion to dismiss because the complaint admitted the statements were accurate, assuming that it doesn't get laughed out of court for a hundred other reasons, the moment the discovery requests come in for the literal mountain of poo poo that's relevant and also damning for Elon, they'll quietly slink away. They might wait until the very last minute to drop the case, but there's zero chance they go forward with this. The real question is if Media Matters will position themselves in a way to sue Elon back.

so he's just gonna completely ignore all the other people now proving how ridiculously easy it is to get ads served next to nazi content with just a search, just keep blaming media matters (and maybe turn off ads suddenly? for entirely unrelated reasons of course). Interesting legal strategy.

Elon's legal team so far have not been incredible idiots so as much as he'll be pushing for them to confirm his conspiracy theories, they're not going to risk getting sanctioned over it. Slinking off at their first opportunity is really the only move they've got here.

People lining up to throw themselves into the conversation when it literally doesn't affect them at all is such a Trump thing. It's the whole "if they can arrest ME for fraud and attempting to dismantle the US government from the inside as the highest ranked person in the country they're coming for YOU next!" thing.

Further Reading posted:The white house letter refers to his tweet saying an antisemitic conspiracy theory is "the absolute truth" explicitly. Yeah, Musk games the algorithm to promote his own tweets and then likes or replies to Nazi poo poo, which promotes the content. He knows that, but more importantly the Nazis know that. A Musk reply is like Christmas Day to them.

I know capitalism always finds ways to be lovely, but I don’t know how brands that left the platform on account of the owner’s anti-semitism will be able to justifiably go back, short of an apology/contrition from Musk, which isn’t gonna be forthcoming. Like, surely the passage of time won’t be enough. “He hasn’t signal-boosted an anti-Semitic trope in a month” can’t change their decision, right?

Musk has no idea how discovery works. He just knows that he got burned by it bad when they read his text messages in his case to not buy Twitter. So now, he thinks it just means he gets to find out all the hidden secrets those people don't want you to know
