Elon Musk threatens "thermonuclear lawsuit" over Twitter antisemitism report
Musk says he intends to file a lawsuit against Media Matters on Monday, as advertisers flee Twitter over accusations of antisemitic content
Elon Musk has now gone from “posting through it” to “irradiated-level incandescent with rage,” apparently, as the Twitter owner and monkey brainchip entrepreneur announced today that he intends to file a “thermonuclear lawsuit” over a recent media report that alleged that his social media network was serving up ads for major companies alongside antisemitic rhetoric. That report, from Media Matters, has presumably been a factor in some of the planet’s biggest brands—including Disney and Apple, long-time Twitter customers—pulling their ads from the platform this week. (Although we might point out that many of these companies also explicitly named some of Musk’s own recent tweets, including one that endorsed a false narrative about Jewish people “pushing…hatred of whites,” as a reason for the ad pulls; it’s not clear yet if you’re allowed to issue a thermonuclear lawsuit to yourself.)
