I hope the lawyers he hired insisted on upfront payment. There's a history.

It's certainly getting bizarre isn't it. Free speech, unfettered? Then how can he complain about people using their right to free speech to criticise him and his platform, in his mind free speech seems to equate to who has the most expensive lawyers to shut the other person up. Oh well, at least advertisers are leaving, more advertisers that is, it's gotta be a blow, people exercising their right to free speech and free association to, well, not associate with him and his platform.

To be fair, The Enshittifier is not alone in ignoring big fines.

In Twitters case, sorry Xcrete's case they are just waiting for bankruptcy so they can claim to not be able to pay. Musk has basically managed to alienate every large advertiser out there, Disney, Warner, Discovery, IBM, Apple and etc. Now surprisingly enough Apple alone contributed 4% to the advertising revenue on Xcrete, but they have decided they don't want their ads running beside Nazi propaganda, because this is essentially what you get when you just say everyone can say anything they want. Now X has said the Nazi propaganda pieces have been demonetised so they can't draw any income from them, but seriously I don't think they are to worried about that, the aim is to get the propaganda out there, not to make money from it, so it's all the same anyway, the money was just a bonus!

Musk-surance. What could possibly....
Elon Musk promised cheaper, better, even “revolutionary” auto insurance after Tesla started losing sales because of high premiums. But understaffing left some customers waiting weeks or months for compensation as they continued making payments on crashed cars.

Off to court again. The man-baby must be a darling of the legal profession, lawyers will probably end up with all his money, one way or another.

Mush seems to be about to enter the reversed ethical universe of being a pro-zionist/anti-semitic, which of course will suit him well, as it suits many conservative racists.
