      Next month’s headline:

      SpaceX performs analysis of hateful content on X, comparing data prior to acquisition and after rebanding. Results conclude “97% less hateful content publicly available” after sweeping changes brought on by Elon Musk.

        More subtle, like “Cyberbullying may make you stronger, research says” or “Researches state that hateful content does not contribute to pancreas cancer”

          Very good point. Maybe something with a bit more of Elon’s agenda, too: “Research finds link between aggressive political activism and self-reported mental health issues; cyber bullying ‘not a problem’ for average Americans.”

          Also, lmao at the fanboy who downvoted both our comments.

      He wanted to bully them into a loss or settlement rather than their claims about the cesspool Twitter is be true.

      But now that he’s lost, we now legally know it’s a cesspool

      Edit: I should have read the article first. Case was dismissed it wasn’t ruled on after a trial, so I’m not sure that means it’s legally a cesspool

      Elon will spin this as the unjust courts don’t understand his incredible Utopian vision for the future

    The wealthy in America are far too bulletproof. How many huge stupid losses can one guy take before all his money is gone? Morons like musk and trump seem like they put in some kind of infinite money cheat code.

      I’m not sure what you mean. The reporting organizations were not found guilty and so were not sentenced.

      If you’re talking about Elmo the article stated that the dismissal was sought using anti-SLAPP legislation, which is exactly what those laws were meant for. I didn’t see if the article said that the court would in addition to dismissing the case would find for a penalty against Musk.

        Ahh thanks for this. Yeah, I’ve been interested in laws recently so I’m always curious what laws people in the news were sentenced under (edit: dismissed, in this case). I just learnt about RICO laws recently.

        Edit: do you think that these useful laws like anti-SLAPP and RICO are ever likely to be passed on federal level?
