Elon Musk has said he will be filing a “thermonuclear lawsuit” against Media Matters and others, after major US companies paused their adverts on his social media site over concerns about antisemitism.
The media watchdog Media Matters said earlier this week that it found corporate advertisements by IBM, Apple, Oracle and Comcast’s Xfinity were being placed alongside antisemitic content, including that praising Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.
It led to a number of big names in technology and media announcing they would be withdrawing their advertising. It also included Warner Brothers, Paramount and Disney.
“The split second court opens on Monday, X Corp will be filing a thermonuclear lawsuit against Media Matters and ALL those who colluded in this fraudulent attack on our company,” Musk said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
I will bet dollars to doughnuts that Media Matters has screenshots to prove their allegations. Beyond that, as far as I know, unless he's filing his lawsuit in Moose Hollow County, most courts these days have electronic filing. The panties-in-a-wad little bigot could have his lawyers file this morning.
And yes, he's pretty much Nazi-adjacent:
Elon Musk has publicly endorsed an antisemitic conspiracy theory popular among White supremacists: that Jewish communities push “hatred against Whites.”
There we have it: To Musk, European Jews are not "white people". He apparently has the same ideas of what makes a "white" person as his neo-Nazi buddies-- good old-fashioned Aryan Germans.

I am confused...
He wants to force those advertisers to pay him to advertise after
deciding their product doesn't fit the format/forum?
I though not buying a product from an entity is normal
business decision.
Eck!
There's Trump Derangement Syndrome, Musk Derangement Syndrome, DeSantis.....the list is endless and all of them are very, very special. They build castles in the sky and the rest of us pay the rent for them, down here on the ground.
May there be consequences for them all...that don't include the rest of us.
While I understand TDS/MDS/DDS as a their way to get power and
fortune, whats missed or poorly understood is why their peons
blindly and even exuberantly follow along with no possible
gain for them. Its a mantra not anything of substance other
than to acknowledge the cult of their emptyness.
They surrender their liberty and financial stability so they
can march to a hollow entity. While they sacrifice the liberty
and financial stability of others.
The only thing I see is selfish bastards going on with I got
mine and screw others not like me. We call them Nazis and
white supremacists but others outside those following that/them
defies understanding.
What do they hope to gain? The admiration of someone that has not
one care for them?
Eck!
He can’t get it done today or tomorrow because he’s trying to spin his latest Starship whoopsie as a success.
What do they hope to gain? To own those libs who make them feel all icky and stupid.

Gentles: There is stupid, and then there is igggggnorant (really hang on the g)...people that deeelight in being bigoted and and just plain ugly nasty. And who are almost always room temperature IQ....but ye gods and little fishes, can they work up a storm of hate and lemming-like crowd behavior. They grow up with the short end of the stick and everything else...and they want to spread their bent 'joy'.
So they link up with Trump or Mussolini or Putin and they *are* somebody and have plenty of mouth-breathing pinheaded company.
Mind you, they are dangerous particularly in a crowd.
Problem comes with bad times or perceived bad times or a time, like now, when being stupid (and white or strong or flashy) doesn't guarantee you a free ride and privilege. Then they get nasty. You will note that if you ask them to explain what they believe (so fervently), the words will make no sense at all, sheer gibberish, all heat no light and precious little reality or logic.
Their leaders come in two 'flavors'. The ones like Boebert and MTG and Tuberville and Trump who are just as dumb as the followers, jes' folks. And the ones who are actually passably smart but bent and see the profit in whipping up and leading the slavering crowds, like Cruz and Hawley and DeSantis.
I am proud to say that I bailed early from Twitter after that South African fascist/racist bought it.
Comrade, you will notice that Musk has switched the SpaceX launch videos to Twitter to boost the Twitter numbers. Pathetic.

I wasn't aware that advertisers can be forced to plug their products against their will on media in a "free market".
Doug, thanks. I love Tengrain’s name for him: Space Karen.
Uncle Ho, indeed. And I’ll bet that Space Karen approved of the Fascist Right’s boycott of Bud Light. So maybe InBev should sue him.
