      More economically to shut down and reincorporate than to spend a bunch of money on lawyers.

      But I doubt Musk is going to see a flood of new ad revenue out of this.

    Today, the House Judiciary GOP’s official account on X called GARM being discontinued a “big win for the First Amendment” and a “big win for oversight.” X CEO Linda Yaccarino also applauded the news.

    It’s just opposite day? We just say whatever is the opposite of what’s true?

      Beating my enemies into submission = A big win for Freedom and Liberty

      The first amendment is simply when conservatives get what they want.

    Good. They don’t get to fucking bully whoever they want.

    Elon didn’t like their shit, and called them on it.

    And they fucking cried and gave up, right away. lmao

      Hey

      You aren’t advertising with me. Stop bullying me and give me money.

      If you don’t give me money right now, you’re bullying me.

          What did he win? They aren’t going to resume advertising with him. They got out of the lawsuit without having to pay lawyers or change their behavior. What did he win?

            So do you honestly think he just wanted their money?

            You don’t think that Elon Musk is over there laughing because they dropped the lawsuit, and thinking that he’s top dog cuz they went away?

            Have you seen his ego?

            I mean, I like Elon, but he’s def a slave to his ego. I still like him, but come on…lol

            He started a legal fight with someone, they backed down. Money losses or not, he definitely won. Because they dropped.

            And he is grinning.

            I mean, I def would prefer money. But I don’t think that’s always his goal.

              If a stupid person being impressed by himself counted as “winning,” there’d be a whole lot more winners out there.

              But it doesn’t.
