      Yeah. And for a case you’re likely to win damages from, many lawyers will take the case under a contract where they only get paid (over half your payout) if you win.

      Elon Musk, in contrast, has lost so many legal battles lately, that I’m sure his lawyers demand pay up front, in cash, every morning, before they start work.

      I believe, “sue” isn’t the right word here. Presumably, he’s simply using his right to a fair trial, rather than accept their out-of-court offer.

      If an organisation publicly claimed you were breaking the law and that turned out to be false, then you could sue back for defamation, but otherwise, I don’t think that’s a thing…

      If he’s not completely delusion, that’s exactly his plan.

      He has proven he’s not afraid to waste 44 billion in sharehold value to satisfy his ego.

    When Euractiv reached out for comment, an automated response from X’s press email said “Busy now, please check back later.”

    lol, the professional wording fitting the platform

      Huh, they used to just respond with “💩”. I wonder what caused Lord Edgelord to give in.

      Twitter famously no longer has a PR department since Elmo took over. They were indeed automatically sending out shitpile emojis for a while, apparently they have upgraded to something more professional.

    X Chairmain and CTO Musk

    He made himself chief TECHNICAL officer?? 😂

    Only technical thing he’s ever done is writing a fucking Space Invaders ripoff on the computer daddy’s Apartheid emerald money bought him in the 80s!
