[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most hate speech is constitutionally protected. It’s also constitutionally protected speech to condemn hate speech. I’m no Elon stan but he is right in this case. [/quote]

He's not. [/quote]

Is the ADL is going after advertisers as he says?

We would have to see evidence. I don't think he has made that info public just  saying x amount of advertising lost.[/quote]

So what if they are? Right wingers are calling for boycotts of a hundred businesses. It’s legal. Asking companies to stop advertising on an offensive platform is legal. Everyone including you knows it’s all true. Elon is slobbering all over neo-Nazis for their approval. [/quote]

The ADL's business model is basically an outrage machine,  there is a difference between boycotting and tortuous interference

In California, these are the elements of negligent interference with prospective economic advantage, which the plaintiff must establish:

1) an economic relationship existed between the plaintiff and a third party which contained a reasonably probable future economic benefit or advantage to plaintiff;
2)the defendant knew of the existence of the relationship and was aware or should have been aware that if it did not act with due care its actions would interfere with this relationship and cause plaintiff to lose in whole or in part the probable future economic benefit or advantage of the relationship;
3)the defendant was negligent; and
such negligence caused damage to plaintiff in that the relationship was actually interfered with or disrupted and plaintiff lost in whole or in part the economic benefits or advantage reasonably expected from the relationship

It would have to come out in court if the ADL is contacting advertisers and directly pressuring them vs just saying Musk is antisemetic[/quote]
