More economically to shut down and reincorporate than to spend a bunch of money on lawyers.

But I doubt Musk is going to see a flood of new ad revenue out of this.

new ad revenue

I’m no marketing guy, and all other things aside, signing an advertising agreement with X would be a hard “NO” after this suit.

Maybe it’s a Win win. Less advertisers and Elon looks like a psychopath and disuades further ad income for his hate platform

Musk: starts allowing Nazi shit on Xitter

Advertiisers: Hey, we don’t like Nazi shit. We might stop advertising if that keeps happening.

Musk: Go fuck yourself. Is that clear? I hope it is.

Advertisers: stop doing business with the guy who told them to go fuck themselves

Today, the House Judiciary GOP’s official account on X called GARM being discontinued a “big win for the First Amendment” and a “big win for oversight.” X CEO Linda Yaccarino also applauded the news.

It’s just opposite day? We just say whatever is the opposite of what’s true?

I’m partial to Gaslight Obstruct Project. This is probably somewhere in “gaslight” as in “this is a good thing! You must be crazy to think this is bad, everyone says this is a good thing.”

He literally bullied a non-profit organisation set in the world to use advertisement money responsible into ceasing operations.

Loss for the world once again, and the article even says that Republicans celebrated. That country is sick.
