Ya'll remember
Media Matters? The left wing NGO that uses social media to support the DNC and used all the slush money from USAID to push crazy shit on X and the MSM?
Do you remember when they used that photo of Musk raising his arm and called him a Nazi? I'm sure you do, it was very funny. Do do you know what else is funny? Well Elon sued them. And then sued them again, and then sued them some more. To the tune of almost 15 million dollars so far in legal fee's alone. Media Matter is begging for support as the donations have dried up and the USAID money is now cut off.
They've recently laid off about 30% of their staff and offered to meet with Elon to settle all his legal claims.
Ya wanna know what Elon's offer was? Shut down permanently and give me what ever money you have left in your bank account. I am not shitting you, that was Elon's final and only offer.
Media Matters has released the following statement:
“Unlike some major media entities that have recently caved to pressure, we understand that this battle is larger than us,” Angelo Carusone, the president of Media Matters, said in a statement. “That’s why we continue to carry out our mission and fight in court.”
Let see, you call the richest man in America a Nazi, you splash that image and caption everywhere in print and use your buddies in the MSM to spread it even further. Slandering him across the world stage as the worst man to ever live, except for Orange Hitler of course, and now your asking him for mercy?
Even when Media Matters got a win in the courtroom Elon just filed another case in another district. To him 5 million dollars in legal fee's is chump change, he find's it among his couch cushions. To Media Matter, hard up on cash, most of it's funding cut off and donations almost non-existent it's life or death money. It's a whole year of wages for it staff and upper brass. To Elon it's pocket lint.
Media Matters tried to settle with Mr. Musk by offering concessions, but the sides were far apart and talks fizzled. Even when the group has triumphed in court, Mr. Musk has appealed or filed new cases elsewhere. As a last resort, it has considered shuttering, according to interviews and an internal document.
I dunno but picking a fight with the world wealthiest man and defaming him across the world with the hope that your buddies in Washington would save you if...big if...they won. Welp those buddies in Washington can't save your ass now, they can't even save themselves and Musk in on the warpath. He will see Media Matters shut down, he will see their donors exposed and shamed and he will have his payback for the slander and libel they used against him for his political opinions.
TLDR: Don't call the 2nd most powerful man in the world a Nazi to his face and expect to just walk away scott free. Sure is funny to see the Left's legal assault tactic used against them. Like always it's fine when they do it but God save you if you dare used it against them.
