      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.

    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?

      Beating my enemies into submission = A big win for Freedom and Liberty

      The first amendment is simply when conservatives get what they want.

    Good. They don’t get to fucking bully whoever they want.

    Elon didn’t like their shit, and called them on it.

    And they fucking cried and gave up, right away. lmao

      you hate people bullying people yet you love elon bullying a non profit into silence?

      also this isn’t going to bring advertisers to twitter.

      I don’t get it. Elon didn’t win a thing, he lost harder.

      He complained advertisers were banding together and boycotting his platform. He starts a frivolous lawsuit.

      So now even more advertisers are boycotting his platform.

      Hey

      You aren’t advertising with me. Stop bullying me and give me money.

      If you don’t give me money right now, you’re bullying me.

          What did he win? They aren’t going to resume advertising with him. They got out of the lawsuit without having to pay lawyers or change their behavior. What did he win?

            So do you honestly think he just wanted their money?

            You don’t think that Elon Musk is over there laughing because they dropped the lawsuit, and thinking that he’s top dog cuz they went away?

            Have you seen his ego?

            I mean, I like Elon, but he’s def a slave to his ego. I still like him, but come on…lol

            He started a legal fight with someone, they backed down. Money losses or not, he definitely won. Because they dropped.

            And he is grinning.

            I mean, I def would prefer money. But I don’t think that’s always his goal.

                Because he has the balls to do what he wants. Even when all you guys scream and cry.

                Regardless of whether you like him or hate him, he works hard, gets shit done. Even if you don’t like it.

                Now having said that, I also don’t give a shit if he loses it all. I admire him, but I don’t worship him.

                And I fucking LOVE what he did with Twitter. Liberals cry censorship now that it doesn’t always favor them on the platform, but they laughed when republicans cried censorship on the old twitter.

                By the way, censorship sucks regardless of platform. I just find it laughingly ironic how you all cry now, but where laughing then.

                In other words, you think it’s fine to censor republican stuff. But get fucking mad when democrat stuff gets censored.

                You all were doing the same fucking thing!

              If a stupid person being impressed by himself counted as “winning,” there’d be a whole lot more winners out there.

              But it doesn’t.
