You think Apple & Disney didn't verify this for themselves before ditching Twitter?
This dumb-ass is going to be proven to be a bigot in a US court of law, isn't he?
The counter-suit for this claim is going to be 🧑🍳💋
Damn if only there was a way for bud to prevent ads from appearing next to Nazis on his platform 😆
They might have. It would be great if they file a brief with the court to support the argument. I'm pretty sure that Musk is absolutely going to tear through Media Matter's search history and say some bullshit like "Yeah, if you search for Nazi 10,000 times and Apple 10,000 times, we're absolutely going to do the thing you asked. But the number of people who actually do that is few and Media Matters made it sound like it was everyone."
Media Matter's is going to absolutely need others joining in to provide other sources of information independent of them. That'll make the almost inevitable argument from Musk that "Nazi + Apple is a rare thing" incredibly weak.
Apple and Disney won't be filing a brief with the court. Apple and Disney are going to get a subpoena.
Because Musk is arguing that Media Matters was the only user that saw those ads next to racist content. So naturally Apple and Disney will need to be asked, "If only a single user saw your ads next to racist content, would you continue running ads on that platform?"
That's not a question they want to answer in public. So they are going to be pressuring Musk to drop the lawsuit.
Don't believe your lying eyes said the Malignant Narcissist.
