A federal judge on Monday threw out a lawsuit by Elon Musk’s X that had targeted a watchdog group for its critical reports about hate speech on the social media platform.

In a blistering 52-page order, the judge blasted X’s case as plainly punitive rather than about protecting the platform’s security and legal rights.

“Sometimes it is unclear what is driving a litigation,” wrote District Judge Charles Breyer, of the US District Court for the Northern District of California, in the order’s opening lines. “Other times, a complaint is so unabashedly and vociferously about one thing that there can be no mistaking that purpose.”

1. That there are still judges stepping up to protect the Bill of Rights gives me hope

3. He genuinely thinks the world is his and everyone is his servant.

Like the Royals in the UK.

4. Musk will just keep appealing until he finds a sympathetic Judge. It's the New American Way.

Our Courts are like a carnival ride and the rich have bought all the tickets so they can ride over and over while the rest of us watch.

5. I will give Xitter its due for allowing war reporting

and not being as unbearably prissy as YouTube has gotten. YT seemingly wants to make their content safe for white Christian four year olds and that has been chapping my ass for a long time as great historical programs have been pulled for mentioning what happens in war or revolution. Xutter;s okatform sucks but content is still being posted.

On YouTube, the guidelines prevent even mentioning ISIS, so people reporting on the massacre in Moscow have had to turn themselves inside out trying to find euphemisms to get past the halfwit censors.
