    Government mandated ad-buys don’t sound very “free speech” to me.

    I mean, he’s got no leg to stand on. This isn’t even just a free speech issue, it’s a compelled speech issue. You can’t force people to use your platform just because you’re mad it’s losing popularity.

      Let’s take this to the conclusion he wants… advertisers are now forced to put ads on shitter: “Elon Musk is a little piss baby…brought to you by Carl’s Jr”

        Honestly, I’d respect this but might have the intended effect of people coming back to twitter to see the ad.

      Yeah at most he could try for breach of contract if they broke their contract to leave. But if they already were no longer under contract or they could prove material cause to break the contract then there’s not much he can do.

    This lawsuit is the latest in a string of largely unsuccessful legal actions taken by Musk.

    What a poor excuse for a human being.

      Yup. Musk literally told advertisers to go fark themselves, advertisers said:

      And now, Musk is mad that they left. Any judge will toss this lawsuit immediately.

    I don’t know that “advertise on my platform or I’ll sue you” is going to work any better than “go fuck yourselves” when it comes to attracting advertising revenue to your website.

      I hope they argue in court that he told them to go fuck themselves, so they followed his orders…much like the famed warship of old.

    Those advertisers should just run anti Trump and Musk ads.

    Don’t Vote for Trump! -Brought to you by Chipotle

    Elon Musk is a Pedo, so buy a General Motors vehicle not Tesla.

    How does this guy’s mind work? To first think this’ll work, and then a second time after his lawyers said it doesn’t work like that.

    Need to get rid of the yes-peeps and get some reality-peeps cause you know no lawyer worth a shit thinks this is a good case, yet they’ve filed it because a ketamine freak is mad that he’s ruined his latest toy.

      Someone is suing Fromsoft because Shadow of the Ertree is “too hard.” Clearly there are lawyers that would take really dumb, unwinnable cases like this one.

        Yes. The type who are employed as corporate counsel and have to do as Daddy Ketamine Freak desires.
