I hope you don’t mind me stealing it then. It’s a great term for a terrible thing.
It’s filed now: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.txnd.383454/gov.uscourts.txnd.383454.1.0_1.pdf
Jesus is that real? If so, I guess Elmo fired all of Twitter’s lawyers too. That’s so unprofessionally written I’m surprised it wasn’t delivered in the original crayon.
Once you’re not seriously suing anyone, but just playing to the press / adoring X audience, it’s real easy to let ChatGPT or some high schoolers prepare your court filings.
Once trump & Elmo realize they are not allies but rather arch-rivals for the adulation of the idjit masses, I predict a real shitshow of competing narrative propaganda sets up. It’ll be awesome to watch, if painful to read.
You are entirely welcome to make free with it, especially having arrived at the same coinage yourself. Sadly, we have more use for it now than ever.
I’ll bet twenty quatloos Musk wrote it himself.
The claim seems to boil down to “They wouldn’t have found all those Nazis on our website if they hadn’t been LOOKING for them!”
This will not go the way Elmo thinks it will.
Meanwhile, Elmo is going back to the well and claiming that the founder of Media Matters is a pedophile.

Umm Elon? Since you’re a self appointed law-dog these days ya might want to brush up on defamation per se.
The lies and taunts, which Musk engaged with on social media, turned his life upside down, Brody said. At one point, he said, he and his mother had to flee their home for fear of being attacked.
Now, he’s fighting back.
Brody filed a defamation lawsuit last month against Musk, the owner of X, formerly known as Twitter. The suit seeks damages in excess of $1 million. Brody says he wants the billionaire to apologize and retract the false claims about him.
Brody’s lawyer—who is the same attorney who successfully sued conspiracy theorist Alex Jones over his lies about the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre —said he hopes the suit will force one of the world’s richest and most powerful men to reckon with his careless and harmful online behavior.
Granted, getting a court to agree to defamation isn’t all that easy, but I’d love to see Musk buried in lawsuits, and Xitter as an additional party for prioritizing Elmo’s tweets above and beyond. Which should be an easy case to make.
Which, ironically, is a greeting specifically prohibited by the German government outside the context of educational or artistic purposes.
Strafgesetzbuch section 86a - Wikipedia
Symbols known to fall under the law are:
- the “Heil Hitler” greeting (1970)[10]
He should have learnt from the last time he publically accused someone of being a pedophile for which be was punished with checks notes absolutely no consequences after being found not liable in a defamation trial.
Elmo previously turned off ads in search results when videos of animal cruelty were getting ads placed on them. Maybe he should’ve kept them off.
Now Elmo is retweeting insane Pizzagate conspiracy theories.
He’s going down the drain.
True.
But it might take a couple years and he may well drag the USA or the world down with him.
talk about shooting yourself in the foot …
due to his claim that the media watchdog has doctored/manipulated their search hammering F5 until they found something bad, now lots of naturally curious twitterers are looking for frases like H.H. and H.H. becomes a trending topic with ever more ads being posted next to them …
A thing of beauty how Twitters self amplifying algorithm is delivering 1000s of free “you were completely right and here is the proof” examples to the media-watchdog’s defense team.
Even Twitter-proper is out to bite Elmo in the arse.
If the dumb lawsuit really goes forward, which I highly doubt, won’t Media Matters be able to subpoena Twitter’s internal communications and workings to justify their reporting?
Yup. If Media Matters is willing to commit $ to fight this (and so far they appear to be), there will be some interesting things coming out of discovery.
