      I can just imagine a brand manager breathing a sigh of relief that only Nazis or people researching Nazis on X will see their brand put right next to antisemitic propaganda.

      Because that’s how brand managers work, not caring at all about edge case placements that could blow up in their faces, and only about the average placements.

      “Oh, it’s ok, our brand is only associated with a swastika once per day on that platform” said literally no brand manager to their CEO ever.

        “It’s only a little nazi, what’s the big deal?”

        He clearly doesn’t understand the “not even once” principle. My favorite part of that statement is that he blasted out proof from their own analysis that it did happen, regardless of the chances or rarity, or how he thought things were unfairly manipulated. So that statement will probably be submitted as ironclad evidence for the defense.

    The truth is an absolute defense in matters like these. Musk’s thermonuclear lawsuit is going to go off like a damp squid.

    How does this all work? Do his handlers have a certain timeframe for twitter.com to go offline? Is he given creative freedom to express his inner and outer child, or is there a tight script? I have so many questions.

    X is going to go out the same way it came in: amid a sea of lawsuits, idiotic decisions, stubborn ignorance and smattering of bigotry.

    It’s not so much about losing advertisers, it’s more the advertisers he’s losing. These companies are the heavy weights that he can point to for legitimacy. He rightfully wins dumb shit of the week.
