Elon Musk Buys X (formerly Twitter): Just Use Bluesky, Threads, or Mastodon Instead

Mani-Man said:
Could he sue Musk AND Twitter in theory?
Like, there has to be enough Proof that Twitter as company is helping spread false claims and so on about people.
Or at the very least there is enough proof that Musk does spread it willingly and all.

Im not a legal expert, but the kind of stuff i see on Twitter feels like it warrants a lot of Lawsuit.
The downright hurtfull lies amplified by Twitter that is targeted at specific people, there must be a lot proof there for tons of lawsuits i would assume.

Maybe some of the members on here who are lawyers would know.
 

Elon Musk dares Humza Yousaf to sue and calls him a 'super-racist scumbag' in public row​


Musk is getting worse every day. At least Europe need to stand up to him if the US can't.

I don't know how it works with suing Twitter but I think if Musk says anything actionable (not that I have any idea where the line is for that) a case can be brought. Others like Katie Hopkins have been successfully sued. No idea which jurisdiction it would all apply in too so that complicates it. Didn't Musk have to pay out to that diver he insulted (falsely calling him a "pedo guy")? Also that Alex Jones was on the hook for a fortune too (don't know if that was podcast comments or written material, or whether he paid any of it).

Unfortunately the diver lost the lawsuit. Diver’s lawyer? Pro-Trump lawyer Lin Wood. Not a good call or verdict.

Elon Musk’s X feed becomes megaphone for his far-right politics​

Before he bought the social media giant, his feed focused more on Tesla and SpaceX.

Tesla investors need to do something as his mind is obviously not fully on the job there, and his move deeper into the combative extremist stuff not only affects Tesla's reputation, it puts off many potential buyers who are more likely to be concerned about the environment and on the left.

Oh damn, Hope he didn’t lose too much on costs. If the lawyer didn’t represent their client properly they should be investigated - I’d hope that having preferences wouldn’t affect how they represent their client. I guess this has probably made Musk think he’s even more untouchable, knowing that the people suing usually will have to take big risks to sue while even losing is not a big deal for him.
