Getting some 14 year old shitbags on 4chan to tell him he's the coolest.

Same as everything else.

I miss when we could go at least a day without hearing about what a huge piece of shit this guy is. Obviously he was always terrible even before buying twitter but it was nice not having to hear about it constantly.

I wonder if the firm can file declaration over this, given that it is being claimed that they are only working pro-bono to "keep people on the streets doing drugs until they die" and using that as a call to blacklist them.

Defamation is always difficult, especially if the firm has done a lot of outreach so as to be considered a limited public figure. You also run into the issue of whether these statements amount to pure opinion, which is per se not defamation.

It'll never happen. The working/lower class will never unite as there's too much intentional division and fragmentation going on.

Musk doesn't have an endgame. He literally has more money than he knows what to do with so the rest of his life will be to stir shit up and play with people like they're video game NPCs.

(I was gonna say chess pieces, but we all know where his brain is, and you know Musk would do a GTA Rampage if he felt he could get away with it)

Not his platform told us so. His post directly told us so.

And yes, Elon Musk is a shit person. Yes, Elon Musk owns Twitter. Should people stop using the service because Elon is a shit person?

He doesn't have the charisma of Clancy Brown's chewed gum, so he sure as shit isn't going to come close to Luthor calibre.

So... looks like he's supporting a post which, I guess doesn't paint a very flattering picture of the law firm.

Any info on exactly what the law firm is doing (a bit more detail than "pro bono work") that's raising the ire of the tech companies?
