To me Soros is less like (Erik Lehnsherr) Magneto and more like a Palpatine, consumed with gaining power and the destruction of civilization as we know it.

This is the hottest scene I've ever seen. It feels like a movie because this level of genuine confidence and authenticity rarely occurs in real life. He could play the game and enjoy all the ad revenue, but won't sacrifice his soul. Nothing could be more solid.

"No Limit": Elon Musk Says He'll Fund Lawsuits Against Employers Who Fired Workers Over Their Twitter History​


by Tyler Durden

~4 minutes




Authored by Chris Menahan via InformationLiberation.com,
Elon Musk put out a call on Saturday for folks to contact Twitter/X if they "were unfairly treated" by their employer "due to posting or liking something on this platform" as he will help them sue and fund their legal bills with "no limit."

"If you were unfairly treated by your employer due to posting or liking something on this platform, we will fund your legal bill," Musk said. "No limit. Please let us know."

No limit.
Please let us know.

"Elon understands that nothing changes behavior in the United States faster than threat of legal action," Austen Allred commented.
"And we won’t just sue, it will be extremely loud and we will go after the boards of directors of the companies too," Musk responded.

Musk suggested he was ready to take up the case of Kara Lynne, who was reportedly fired by Limited Run Games for following Libs of TikTok and other conservatives on Twitter.
Kara, is that accurate?
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 6, 2023
The situation is slightly more complicated than the headline. But yes.
— Kara Lynne (@Kara_Creates) August 6, 2023
Great, let’s have at it!
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 6, 2023
Musk also suggested he may take up the case of a radical leftist who claims he was fired for "defending Hitler."
This does sound like a good case
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 6, 2023
Musk is a self-described “free speech absolutist” who has a clear disdain for cancel culture, and this latest move seems to align with his push to shift X away from content censorship, particularly relating to political and ideological views.
In December 2022, Musk tweeted that “cancel culture needs to be canceled.” Under his ownership, X has reinstated several accounts that were banned for policy violations under the previous ownership.
Many have theorized that the conservative boycott of Bud Light - one of the only successful conservative boycotts in perhaps decades - was particularly effective as a result of Musk's takeover of Twitter and his unshackling of their previously-rigged algorithms.
Many companies are now reportedly afraid they'll be the next "Bud Light" if they push transgenderism and other woke garbage.
In a similar vein, many colleges are now operating in fear that they'll be sued for trying to get around the Supreme Court's ruling against affirmative action.
Columbia Law School: Send us a video with your application now
Conservative journalist: Tell us more about this?
Columbia: Never mind.
Violating the law, or a hint of doing so, is bad press. Supreme Court has made their lives harder. Columbia Law School Said It Would Require Applicants To Submit ‘Video Statements’ In Wake Of Affirmative Action Ban. Then it Backtracked. pic.twitter.com/CMRymJPq7y

The Wall Street Journal reported the "diversity officer" racket is rapidly contracting in part due to fears of lawsuits, which have only amplified in the wake of the ruling on affirmative action.

"No Choice": Musk Threatens Suit Against ADL; Blames Activists For "Most Of X's Revenue Loss"​


by Tyler Durden


Elon Musk, owner of the platform X, formerly known as Twitter, has threatened to ban the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) from his platform, adding that he had “no choice” but to file a defamation lawsuit against the advocacy group, which previously called for a pause on ad spending on the social network.
The group alleges Mr Musk has failed to clamp down on hate speech on the social media platform since his takeover last year, allowing disinformation to proliferate – something Mr Musk strongly denies.
Further, it was revealed that the ADL has put pressure on X to deplatform popular anti-woke account Libs of TikTok, which is run by a conservative Jewish woman, Chaya Raichik.
A #BanTheADL began circulating on the social media platform after a meeting last Thursday between ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt and X's new CEO Linda Yaccarino.
"I had a very frank + productive conversation with @LindayaX yesterday about @X, what works and what doesn't, and where it needs to go to address hate effectively on the platform. I appreciated her reaching out and I'm hopeful the service will improve. @ADL will be vigilant," Greenblatt posted after the meeting.
The hashtag was condemned by Israel's foreign ministry. Additionally, as MEE reports, while this recent campaign has been amplified by so-called 'far-right' social media accounts (translation: non-mainstream-narrative-spewers), progressive organizations and Palestinian activists have for years raised concerns about the ADL and its efforts to undermine social justice movements in the US.

News of the potential lawsuit comes after news broke that X is still down around 60% in US ad revenue as the ADL continues to put pressure on its advertisers to avoid the social media platform.
"I don't see any scenario where they’re responsible for less than 10pc of the value destruction, so [around] $4bn.”
In November, the pressure group Stop Hate for Profit, which includes the ADL, called on advertisers “to pause their spending globally” and claimed “hate speech and disinformation have proliferated” on the app since Mr Musk’s takeover.
It wouldn't be the first time the ADL was sued for defamation...
Musk also shared an article questioning the ADL's bias.
Musk also suggested that X will expose - Twitter-Files-esque - the ADL’s requests to ban and censor X accounts it deems anti-Semitic next week, prompting a hashtag for #TheADLFiles...
"A giant data dump would clear the air."
Musk made it very clear where he stands...
...and does no one remember what he told David Faber about his attitude to 'being able to say what he likes'.
And finally, here is ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt in 2016 sounding an awful lot like Elon Musk on free speech advocacy...
...now what happened in 2016 that would have prompted him to abandon these morals in favor the most extreme censorship?

NEWS: 's lawyers have come to the defense of an Illinois student being threatened with disciplinary action by his university over posts he made on the platform.

This is the first known example so far of X paying legal fees to support users' free speech, as promised in August.
