Anyone else here think the team behind The Onion might be playing a bit of 4D Chess with Elon Musk?
The Onion bough InfoWars and its assets after a court ordered sale, including its X account.
Elon is going to court to argue that InfoWars’s X account is the property of X.
Perhaps The Onion is setting a trap, by having the courts say, yes, X (Elon) owns X accounts, thereby removing safe harbour protections and opening X up to a tsunami of defamation lawsuits.
Section 230 isn’t so much about ownership, but distinguishment between publishers and ‘information content providers’ (ie users). So X owning accounts wouldn’t really factor into that consideration because they don’t control the publication of that content
I think they did it purely to ■■■■ over Jones, and the FUAC (the ‘higher’ bidder)
Don’t you find, time after time, right wing nutjobs that have a particular bee under their bonnet about something, tend to have that particular bee hiding in their own closet.
One of his incubators, the cybernetic pop starlet Grimes, looks about 12. Using MAGA metrics that’s grounds for a deep conspiracy surrounding Elon’s predilections.
Meanwhile, SpaceX are also leading the rescue mission for the astronauts that were stranded by Boeing/NASA.
If you let your political bias cloud your judgement about Elon and the incredible things he’s doing for humanity, just watch this video, look out the window at all the Tesla’s driving around and stfu.
