This episode of Serious Trouble is interesting.

I had heard about Elon Musk's lawsuit against the advertisers, and I *almost* posted something at the time harping on the First Amendment to argue that the lawsuit was bullshit, but I stopped myself.

I think I was right to stop myself. It is more a matter of antitrust law than a matter of First Amendment. I'm definitely not as knowledgeable about antitrust law as I am about the First Amendment.

However, the lawsuit is still bullshit. Ken White explains it well in this episode.

"Elon Musk says he doesn't believe in Donald Trump's MAGA or his 'cult of personality'"

True that. Elon Musk only believes in the cult of personality that reveres him as the cult figure.

He sure won't bow down for anyone, including Trump.

"Elon Musk demands users stop ‘deadnaming’ Twitter after Stephen King trolls the billionaire"

 Yes, because calling that shitty platform by anything else than its new name is **totally** the same as deadnaming a trans person, sure, whatever.

Every day, Etron Muskrat finds new ways to demonstrate himself to be the biggest asshole on this planet.

"Standing by the antisemite, Tesla drops Disney+ in retaliation"

Well, it looks like Tesla is following Twitter down that specific shitter.

Disney+ pulls advertising from Twitter. Tesla retaliates by pulling Disney+ from its cars.

Great job! I'm sure this is going to end well for Twitter and Tesla.

"Swifties React To Elon Musk Warning Taylor Swift Of 'Popularity Decline'"

Muskrat's word of advice amounted to "I was on the cover of Time's magazine, but look at me now.  "

Yeah.... I think Taylor Swift is fine as long as she does not go full Nazi like you, Etron.

I'm not a "fan" of Taylor Swift. She does music. She seems competent. That's all I can say about her. However, it would take *A TON* before she manages to tank her public image like Muskrat.

"FabFitFun, a $1 billion subscription box startup, frantically backpedals after a profane, pro–Elon Musk ad bombs"

 

WTF did they think it was a good idea to :

a) Put their ads on Twitter?

b) Tell their customer to use a GoF--kYourself rebate code. (I don't know if the code was meant to be censored or not.)

From the article:

===
The ad felt like a rude political intrusion into lifestyle retail. One X user wrote, “Just in case anybody thinks of trying FabFitFun, the owners are right-wing Trumpers who are enamoured with Elon & snarl ‘woke’ under their breath.”
===

Good god! The idiocy! It burns!!! I've tried a couple subscription services. They sucked. If you've got a good thing going, why ruin it?
