Elon Musk vows 'thermonuclear lawsuit' against the weasels of Media Matters
American Thinker ^ | 18 Nov, 2023 | Monica Showalter

Media Matters, the Soros-financed smear outfit that thrives on intimidating journalists into spouting its far-left agenda, has picked the wrong target.

According to Reuters:

X Corp, formerly known as Twitter, will file a lawsuit against Media Matters and those who attacked social media platform X, Elon Musk said on Saturday in a post on the platform, soon after major U.S. companies paused their advertisements on the site.

"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 wrote in a post on X, without naming any other parties.

Liberal media watchdog group Media Matters for America earlier this week said it found that corporate advertisements by IBM, Apple, Oracle and Comcast's Xfinity were being placed alongside antisemitic content.

IBM on Thursday said it immediately suspended all advertising on Musk-owned X after the watchdog found its ads were placed next to content promoting Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party.

Disney, Warner Bros Discovery and Comcast, Lions Gate Entertainment and Paramount Global said on Friday they were also pausing their ads on X. Axios reported that Apple would do the same.

Thermonuclear. Good one, Elon. It's time to hold these stinking little weasels accountable.

The leftist nuisance outfit, which until recently was run by David Brock, has taken its marching orders from the Obama White House in the past, and now relying on an old tried-and-true tactic it uses, by organizing an advertiser boycott in an attempted to defund 'X.'

So, they manipulated search results until they got the one Nazi ad they wanted and waited for an IBM ad to position itself next to it, which according to 'X' happened one time and was seen by one person

The big thing that musk can do is tie up the company and its sponsors in court. the company may be able to take the court expenses. but the individuals will have a hard time doing so. no need to win. just make things incredibly expensive for everyone involved with media matters.

musk can play that game.

Current Tesla Market Cap: $734B

Current SpaceX Market Cap if taken private (estimated): $150B

The Dojo Computer will probably triple all of that.

Musk personal net worth as of oh a bit ago (Forbes): $241B

The scrufty gang of sleazeballs at MM just pissed off the sleeping giant.

Musk can arrange for their names and addresses to be doxed (like the left does) and make their lives get really interesting.

You have to admit, if you read the article, that what Media Matters did to smear “X” was truly despicable. They are trying to destroy the company now that it is less likely to censor conservatives.

An honest answer here: did you read the article in its entirety? There was one Nazi ad placed next to one other ad that was viewed by one person. That is the basis of complaints against X. I hope he whines like Aunt Lucy with her t*t in a wringer.

It's almost like Media Matters was treating X like a slot machine. They kept pressing enter until the reels lined up with a Nazi ad and a client ad.

Then they pounced.

I wonder what kind of Nazi searches they had to do to prime the algorithms to return those ads? Did they search on "kill the Jews?" How about "Hitler was right"?

I can't imagine any other organization's HR department that would sanction a search like that on company equipment. Most business would immediately fire the person who made a search like that on company equipment on company time.

it is waaaaaaaaaaaay past time for us to start suing the left for everything.

And make sure to file the charges in the most conservative area of your state!
