Mike Masnick ✅How to get your $44 billion mid-life crisis toy named in lots of lawsuits: claim publicly that the company that you now own "interfered in elections."
Lee Fife@mmasnick that's ... ah .... well ... quite a statement from the twitter CEO ...
Walid Damouny@mmasnick This is an attempt to appeal to the far right while committing to nothing.

trevor who is a female@mmasnick He’s living proof that there are many different kinds of intelligence, and he’s really stupid in at least one of them.

Half Cocked Law@mmasnick Getting sued for running your mouth and instituting terrible policies is a specialty of Elon.
Atz@halfcocked @mmasnick don't his tweets still need to be passed by the legal department if he talks about Tesla?
@atzanteol @mmasnick Yes, although he has rarely, if ever, complied with the consent decree or the court's order enforcing it after he breached.

Mr. Pataphor, Dadaist Dad
Blackout The Conspiracy@mmasnick Yeah, but what does he have to truly gain by saying this? We know this will bring in more ire from Big Brother. Who wants that on your ass?

Oh look another check he doesn't think anyone will cash...

@mmasnick He doesn't have enough lawyers after him already?
- Privacy Regulators and their attorneys
- Safety/Content Moderation/CSAM and their lawyers
- Employment Lawyers
- Hollywood and their lawyers bc DMCA is broken
- Advertiser's lawyers and their breach of contract claims over brand safety and editorial adjacencies.
- Vendors' lawyers who will sue him for not paying the bills.
- Have his investors sued him yet for tanking the value of their investment in the first month?
- Has Tesla sued him for stealing engineers yet? Have investors for failing to do his job or are they just relieved he has a new toy to pay attention to?
- Cybersecurity lawyers and the lack of a security team and the new breach?
- ADA class action lawyers salivating over the whole ADA team being fired.
What am I missing?
Dario LandazuriI guess it could be covered under employment lawyers, but the state of California could go after him for violating the WARN act.

@mmasnick "Even handed" aka "Welcome fascists, have a seat. Cigar?"
Ali Van Zee@mmasnick he wants to interfere in them now.
GuitarGirl@mmasnick The guy ain’t smart.
@GuitarGirl @mmasnick Is it wrong that I heard it in Mike Judge's voice as Hank Hill (who is really just a younger Tom Anderson from Beavis & Butt-head, let's be real)?
Just Tired@mmasnick
There were very fine people on both sides.

Mark Rigby@mmasnick I wonder what it's like to lose a billion dollars every time you open your mouth...
Leslieodd@mmasnick Wasn't he the one that told everyone to vote Republican this month? 🤔
Natanael ⚠️@mmasnick Elon Musk is the kind of guy who hears "you're your own worst critic" and interprets it to mean everybody loves him
Brad Miller@mmasnick And this guy is supposed to be this generation’s da Vinci 😂
Anathema Device@mmasnick Dorsey is still a stock holder. Doesn't he care what legal peril Musk is landing them both in?

Benjamin Johns@mmasnick Elon seems to be operating under the Trump theory that "Nothing is a crime if you're sufficiently proud of it."
JenL@Theoreticalb @mmasnick it really seemed to be working for Trump for a long stretch there.
Ali@mmasnick I see Musk is installing Overton Windows 2.0
Toxteth O'Grady@mmasnick Did you notice that Musk is lying, as there is emerging evidence that he is allowing far-right activists to call more and more of the shots while he dallies with the idea that all speech is equal and competes in the marketplace of ideas, regardless of whether it is true or false? As we've learned, false and extreme views get more clicks, and those guys tend to fawn over Musk more than the typical "eat the rich" leftist
Spocko@mmasnick Twitter's 2.0 post today was their way of saying. "Hey we totally have content moderation policies and we totally plan to use the AI tools but cut us some slack, our Boss Elon has to hurt a few million people until he gets what we have known for years. Also, too he'll fire us and we'll lose our H1-B visas if we don't come up with a reason for his BS "experiments" we know will cause harm."
fuomag9@mmasnick did he also fire the lawyers? That's a big nono thing to say🤣
@mmasnick South Park needs to remix their Put It Down song for Elon's lawyers to pump to his earbuds on loop.
(https://youtu.be/AXHZaDiBKsU was originally about Trump's tweets BEFORE Jan 6 insurrection.)

he understands so little abt how anything works

Kimberly DeCarrera@mmasnick Does he know that with a stock sale that he inherited all the liabilities? Including say "trust & safety" issues from before his purchase.
@decarrera maybe shouldn't have fired the legal team.
@mmasnick Yeah, I think we all said as much, pretty much every day since he fired them.
MathiasTCK@decarrera @mmasnick I would bet the legal team advised against firing the legal team, so he did it against the advice of counsel
Bert Latamore@mmasnick Given what he has done with virdsite, that is an interesting post. Is he saying that Twitter interfered by denying the far right the opportunity to spread false claims and bully everybody who disagrees with them?
NmHacking@mmasnick mastadon needs a facepalm reaction button 🤦♀️
k cavaliere@mmasnick He left out "and I bought it because my mum says I'm a genius."
How does he know that "as long time users know..."? Where the evidence?
The service was not autonomous, or a sentient being. It only worked as designed and within parameters - for years.
The truth is closer to that there is LESS trust and safety since this erratic, eccentric, self proclaimed genius was forced to honor his agreements.
Lizrdeb@mmasnick ok I blocked EM elsewhere. I don’t mind quotes, but let’s not screen shot his posts.
Badwolf303@mmasnick Leon Musk is disgusting
potatoofdestiny@mmasnick love too admit to doing crimes on main
Waitman Gobble@@mmasnick Diet Coke addiction is real. He shoudl seek help before his kidneys go haywire.
@mmasnick The "genius" has lost his mind

Woodchaz@mmasnick Did he buy assets and liabilities or just assets?
