"as X embraced once-banned content—like, you know, Covid skepticism or criticisms of DEI"

Yes, Francesca, that's what people are upset about. Not the rape threats, not the racists and antisemites like Nick Fuentes or the nutjobs like Alex Jones, but Covid skepticism.

Writing an article "explaining" Musk's case against an advertising boycott while refusing to be honest about why that boycott happened is weak sauce.

Shelf life on this article - not even a day. WFA folded in the face of the suit.

This turned out to be unfortunately timed: the WFA is disbanding GARM!

The greatest subsidy miner in human history is looking to mine the judicial system to preserve his fortune.

I get that Musk has done a lot with his wealth, and I appreciate that he doesn't run in lockstep with the California tech bro crowd, but I think I've read enough about Musk to last a lifetime. That's not a criticism of this story, more that Musk seems addicted to limelight rather than the public good.

It would be interesting, though, to see Musk debate J.D. Vance on the topic of parenthood.

I can think of 35 trillion reasons to hate the game.
