From what I know, Twitter is headquartered and incorporated in San Francisco. Media Matters is a nonprofit that is headquartered and founded in Washington DC.

We know Musk is lawyer shopping by filing the suit in Texas.

For those with more legal knowledge, shouldn't this case be in either California, or Washington DC? What are the likelihood of Media Matters getting the case moved to one of those locales?

So the little twerp is touring Israel right now in what is supposed to be… a redemption tour? And on the other side is supposed to emerge an emphatically gifted Elmo? Seen the light? Realized the error of his ways? Elmo The Grey? Shut the fuck up.

It's taken a while but Elon has moved on from denial to the anger stage of grief.


edit: now with the full clip which is just fantastic

So I still can't access these Twitter links you guys post. Not sure why. It just goes to the login page

Anyways, do these links refer to this article?

Elon Musk, Slinging Expletives, Says Advertiser Boycott on X May Kill It​

So he's saying it twitter kicks the bucket it's the advertisers fault, not his.
He's essentially saying " fuck you for being intolerant of my shitty speech/posts.
If Twitter fails, it's your fault not mine."

"Still, if advertisers leave the company, its failure will be their fault, not his — saying they were trying to “blackmail me with money,”"

I wonder if anything that's ever gone wrong in his life has been his fault.

Its obvious that he is oblivious as to his own stake in how things turn out. He recently did an interview with Lex and while tame for the most part he did ask some questions towards the end like “do you know anyone who calls you out on your bullshit” - standard Lex questions and Elmo flustered on these questions. Wholesomely unprepared. His handicap is on full display now and only having yes men around is catastrophic especially to someone like Elmo.

Does Elmo need a binky?

This is classic behavior for an asshole which everyone decided they didn't want to play with, and he yells back that he's going home and didn't want to play with the rest of the kids anyways.

I mean, the reaction from Sorkin is almost as good as the original comment from Phony Stark.

That's some damn good spin from Linda Yaccarino.

I'm not going to feel sorry for Yaccarino. She should have known what the job was going to be like, and she's getting paid handsomely for it.

Feel sorry for her? It's not like she was that great before. She is clearly part of the program there, in lockstep, sieg Elon. Fuck her to hell, she is the enemy of decency as well.

Linda out there talking like there weren't already a range of websites where you could say your white supremacist stuff unchecked. Doesn't tend to play well to audiences that aren't already white supremacists, or at least Nazi-curious.
