I can’t believe this is real holy shit
In a statement on Tuesday about the lawsuit, X’s chief executive, Linda Yaccarino, said: “People are hurt when the marketplace of ideas is constricted. No small group of people should monopolize what gets monetized.”
I’m gonna sue Walmart for not paying me… no your Honor, I have never been an employee of Walmart.
It would be the other way around. They’d be suing you for shopping at their competitiors and thereby acting against your economic self-interest (as determined by Walmart.)
Literally a plan that would be dreamed up by Ricky from Trailer Park Boys.
The difference is that Ricky would actually be able to talk the judge into agreeing with him:
Your honour, I’m moving the court to sentence Mr. Lahey to pay me like a million dollars for being a drunk bastard and for not buying weed from me anymore. He used to buy all his weed from me but now that he’s back on the liquor he doesn’t smoke weed any more and that is fucked up. Your honour, I try to run a small business and now this drunk trailer park supervisor is violating all my human amendment charters.
Using the Canadian People’s Freedom of Choices and Voices Act to force advertisers to buy ads to buy his hash coins and also pay him in hash coins
Simple supply and command
Ricky wouldn’t be so litigious. He’d have to pay for a lawyer, most of which cost more than $12.35, some hash and six or seven sticks of pepperoni (pepperoni in this case being a local misnomer for what’s really closer to a polish sausage, nova Scotia has weird food quirks)
Ricky doesn’t need a lawyer. He represents himself and he does it well.
Thanks to the people’s voices and choices act or whatever the fuck ever
I’m going to make these advertisers pay me money.
Uh, sir, that’s called “extortion”.
No, it’s called “business smarts” you’re fired.
He also said he’s going to explore whether they’re criminally liable under RICO.
If the CEO of CVS got locked up for not advertising on X the everything website something would have def happened.
We’re locked in to an extremely funny outcome here no matter which way it goes.
This dude is actually going to anger other rich people for going after ‘their’ companies
He might actually start getting actively screwed by his compatriots now lol
As soon as a lib talks about “the marketplace of ideas” you can safetly ignore anything they say because they’re deeply unserious.
Took me a minute to realize he wasn’t trying to sue the planet Mars.
He’s suing Mars for being too difficult to land humans on, making him look stupid
All in due time, all in due time.
I would have thought of the corporation sooner if it wasn’t Musk and him suing a planet is for sure on the menu
Suing the Roman god of war for making his planet too inhospitable and wiping out his Bazinga Colony in 2042
Free speech for me but not for thee
begging the judicial system to force firms to buy your services, this is the biggest brain of modern capitalism
Now I’m convinced Musk really is a genius. To be capable of that kind of mental gymnastics he has to be.
lol, oh hell yeah Nationalize the Marketplace of Ideas
Elon to advertisers, 2023: “go fuck yourself”
Elon to advertisers, 2024: :i-spil-my-jice: mods mods make them come back
It’d be funny if industry and trade associations ruled as anticompetitive under antitrust laws
The LegalEagle about this is going to rip ass lmao.
Fuck everyone who creates and perpetuates this removed
