His new lawsuit against Media Matters is quite interesting, and has lots of revealing details about Soros' Media Matters.
So now TX is investigating, and perhaps dozens of other sensible State AGs as well.
ETA: this refers to Titled Elon Musk, not illiterate Jaynez blathering...

Elon Musk just told Bob Iger specifically and the heads of all the corporations trying to blackmail him into only allowing their Leftist/Globalist/ESG agenda on his platform to all go fuck themselves and put them on notice that if Twitter dies it's because they killed it.
And that's not me putting words in his mouth. He was very, very clear that Bob Iger can "Go. Fuck. Yourself."

Disney's 'Democratic Political Operative' Bob Iger Fully Exposed After Musk Spat: Thacker

Authored by Paul Thacker via The DisInformation Chronicle (subscribe here)
Editors at the New York Post commissioned me to write a piece last weekend explaining how the Democratic Party has been targeting Elon Musk for buying Twitter and taking away their ability to censor critics and label them “disinformation.” The issue came to a head after Musk vented during an interview when asked about Disney and other companies pulling advertising over alleged antisemitism on his platform.
“If someone is going to try and blackmail me with advertising? Blackmail me with money? Go fuck yourself," Elon Musk said. Musk repeated the advice with a wave of his hand toward Disney’s Bob Iger, a Musk critic and Biden administration donor and functionary.
“Go. Fuck. Yourself. Is that clear? Hey, Bob, if you’re in the audience.”
Within hours of the intervew, dozens of parodies began appearing on X, including this one.

But if you read about the exchange in any media outlet, you would think Musk was coming unhinged, attacking advertisers who support his own company.
This is far from reality. Democratic operatives including Disney’s Bob Iger have been harassing Musk since he took over Twitter and released company documents showing the government and Democratic Party aligned organizations were censoring Americans. You can read some of my reporting on these Twitter Files here, here, here, here, and here.
After the New York Post published my essay, I found that Musk had predicted a dirty tricks campaign over a year and a half ago.
The tactics being used against Musk are quite simple to understand if you know the various figures involved, their backgrounds, and finances. First, Democratic Party attack groups like the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) and Media Matters for America gin up fake studies that accuse Musk of allowing hate, antisemitism, racism (whatever label they feel is effective) to flourish on social media. Second, Biden campaign donors like Disney’s Bob Iger express panic and flee X, complaining that they can’t be associated with hate.
The media won’t report on this, but it’s a basic squeeze play once you know the characters involved.
In recent months, Musk has sued both the Center for Countering Digital Hate and Media Matters for America for making false allegations of hate at X that have driven away advertisers. Both groups claim to be nonpartisan but actually work to attack opponents of Democratic Party policies.
If you read any story in the press about the CCDH, you would think they’re some lefty nonprofit laboring away to keep the world safe from online hate. A couple headlines just to give you a flavor for this.
But as I documented in an investigation for Tablet, political operatives with the conservative wing of the British Labour Party founded the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) in 2018 to attack people on the Left and Right. The group’s leader, Imran Ahmed, now asserts that he is “at the forefront of reporting on the hate proliferating on X/Twitter since Musk completed his takeover in late October 2022.”
In reality, Ahmed is also a former Labour Party political operative who ran CCDH and another Labour Party front group to attack the left wing of his own party with vague accusation of hate. While in the UK, Ahmed’s groups helped to run Jeremy Corbyn out of Labour Party leadership and tanked the lefty news site Canary, after starting a boycott of their advertisers.
Former Canary editor Kerry-Anne Mendoza described Ahmed’s war against her leftist news site as a scorched earth campaign that destroyed their advertising reveNOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME

In that same exchange, Elon agreed that this may destroy X. However, he clearly stated that they would be keeping track of all of the companies which did the killing, and the evidence would be held on display and shown for all to see.

I don't think that it will destroy Twitter.
All I ever heard before Musk bought it was that Twitter had NEVER made a profit or figured out how to properly monetize the damn platform. It really wasn't any different than any of the TV/Movie streaming platforms that spent billions churning out their own content to up their view counts and stock price despite losing money every quarter of every year since they started up.
That's why it was so insane that he paid so much for it in the first place.
But really... It shouldn't cost all that much to run. Yeah... a ton of people around the world use it, but it's not as if he's got to maintain all of the servers necessary to not only hold all of the TV shows and movies that the streaming services have, but the bandwidth to get them out to hundreds of millions of people streaming them simultaneously around the world. And he's not spending billions every year making content either.
I don't think he's really worried that Twitter is going anywhere. Even if his stock prices bottom out short-term because of this ad boycott and the current state of the world economy, he hasn't lost any money until he sells it. He's got plenty of money to keep paying for operating costs in the mean time and a pretty diverse group of other businesses he owns that generate revenue.

Greedy Elon Musk gets bashed by heavy metal drummer who cost him $56 billion

WILMINGTON, Delaware, Feb 1 (Reuters) - Elon Musk suffered one of the biggest legal losses in U.S. history this week when the Tesla CEO was stripped of his $56 billion pay package in a case brought by an unlikely opponent, a former heavy metal drummer.
Richard Tornetta sued Musk in 2018, when the Pennsylvania resident held just nine shares of Tesla. The case eventually made its way to trial in late 2022 and on Tuesday a judge sided with Tornetta, voiding the enormous pay deal for being unfair to him and all his fellow Tesla shareholders.
Until Tornetta's case, Musk prevailed in a string of trials accusing him of defamation, of breaching his duty to shareholders and of violating securities laws.
On social media, fans of Tesla and Musk seemed to find the case a travesty of justice and speculated about Tornetta's intentions and political affiliations, asking how an investor with such miniscule holdings could wield such power.
Delaware corporate case law is full of cases bearing the names of individual investors with tiny shareholdings who wound up shaping America's corporate law. Many law firms that represent shareholders keep a stable of investors they can work with to bring cases, says Eric Talley, who teaches corporate law at Columbia Law School. They might be pension funds with a broad range of stock holdings but they are also often individuals like Tornetta.
The plaintiff signs paperwork to file the lawsuit and then generally gets out of the way, says Talley. The investors don't pay the law firm, which takes the case on contingency, as the lawyers did in the Musk case.
Tornetta benefits from winning the case the same way other Tesla shareholders benefit: saving the company billions of dollars that a subservient board of directors paid to Musk.
Business groups have long criticized cases brought by individuals as an indication of potentially abusive litigation. Delaware 10 years ago was plagued with lawsuits led by retail investors owning a few shares challenging merger deals. The cases were often quickly resolved with meaningless settlements that always included payments to the attorneys bringing the cases. Delaware judges and lawmakers eventually reined in the practice.
Experts said people like Tornetta are vital for policing boardrooms. Lawmakers and judges have long wanted large investment firms to lead such corporate litigation since they are better equipped to keep an eye on their lawyers' tactics. But experts said fund managers do not want to jeopardize relationships on Wall Street.
So it was up to Tornetta to take on Musk.
"His name is now etched in the annals of corporate law," Talley said. "My students will be reading Tornetta v Musk for the next 10 years."
Tornetta v. Musk: Post-Trial Opinion

Was the richest person in the world overpaid?
Delaware courts have been presented with this question thrice before, when more adroit judges found ways to avoid definitively resolving it. This decision dares to “boldly go where no man has gone before,” or at least where no Delaware court has tread.
The defendants bore the burden of proving at trial that the compensation plan was entirely fair. The defendants were thus left with the unenviable task of proving the fairness of the largest potential compensation plan in the history of public markets. If any set of attorneys could have achieved victory in these unlikely circumstances, it was the talented defense attorneys here. But the task proved too tall an order.

Former Tesla director Larry Ellison invited Elon Musk to Hawaii to 'dry out' from drugs, report says
By Katherine Tangalakis-Lippert and Lloyd Lee | Feb 3, 2024, 11:08 PM CST

-drugs-report-2024-2
Elon Musk's drug use so worried his business associates and company board members that they asked him to go to rehab and even take a break from working to "dry out" from various substances, including LSD, cocaine, ecstasy, and ketamine, a new report from The Wall Street Journal said.
Larry Ellison, Musk's close friend, a former Tesla director, and the billionaire cofounder of Oracle, went so far as to urge Musk to travel to Hawaii during winter 2022 to pause his work and avoid drugs, the outlet reported, citing people familiar with the offer.
Ellison's proposal came amid increasing concerns among Musk's friends and associates that Musk's drug use was getting worse, some of those people told the Journal.
At a party in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles around the time of Ellison's suggestion, the report added, one person who attended the event said Musk drank ecstasy in "liquid form" from a water bottle after having his personal security clear the floor for privacy.
The Journal reported the "volume" of Musk's drug use had contributed to a culture of peer pressure among Musk's friends and board directors of his various companies that created an "expectation" for them to use drugs alongside him to maintain the social status gained by being close to the billionaire.
Musk, Ellison, and their lawyers Alex Spiro and Christopher Muzzi did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Business Insider.
The Journal previously reported Musk, who is reportedly one of several executives in Silicon Valley to try his hand at psychedelics such as ketamine, had also indulged in LSD, cocaine, ecstasy, and "magic" mushrooms.
Despite proclaiming that he doesn't "like doing illegal drugs," Musk's drug use has previously put him and his companies on notice.
After he smoked marijuana on an episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast, NASA made SpaceX pledge in writing that the company was following federal guidelines on drug use in the workplace. The company spent $5 million in taxpayer money to properly train its employees on the rules, the Journal reported.
The billionaire also said on X that he had a prescription for ketamine, which research has suggested can be used to treat depression.
Experts previously told BI that the combination of hard drugs Musk is said to have used came with several health risks, especially at his age of 52.
Those include irregular heartbeat and incontinence, as well as psychosis if the user has bipolar disorder. In 2017, CNBC reported Musk suggested to his Twitter followers that he had the disorder. Musk pissed in his pants today. He and Trump share a need for adult diapers.

Former Representative Adam Kinzinger recently remarked that Donald Trump smelled bad. When pressed for details, he said that the former President smelled like “armpits, ketchup, a butt and makeup.”
The implication that Trump smelled like poop quickly lead to the rumor that the former president must be wearing adult diapers.
He could be. Why? He’s an old guy. A good percentage of old guys are incontinent and have to wear diapers. As one 69-year-old gent said about this online: more at https://medium.com/crows-feet/is-donald-trump-wearing-a-diaper-and-sho
