Yesterday [0] I thought it likely some Twitter lawyer would have talked him out of anything foolish and Musk would be busy finding excuses/rationalizations for not going through with it. I was wrong... but it'll still be fun to watch with popcorn.
I'd also like to highlight funny tweets (mirror link for convenience [1]) that someone mentioned in the Techdirt-article comments. The Tweet-author is explaining the dumb-ness of Musk's lawsuit in, er, amusingly simple language:
> With that in mind, here is my lawsplainer thread on Musk v. Media Matters, et al., using only the ten hundred words people use most often.
> Elon Musk asked the people who have the power to decide right and wrong to make Media Matters pay him because he said they hurt him. Almost everything about his asking is stupid and wrong. It is so stupid and wrong that his entire asking is broken. I will start with the people he is asking, and the place he is asking it in. [...]
