Elon Musk Files "Thermonuclear" Lawsuit Against Media Matters, Alleging They Have Slandered His Business and Cost Him Tens of Millions of Dollars
Victoria Taft at PJ Media has details:
The lawsuit states that Twitter/X, as a free speech platform, has been targeted by MMFA for years but recently unleashed an onslaught of stories intended to drive away big advertisers. It succeeded in driving away untold millions in ad revenue from the platform. But MMFA's latest gambit was based on a malicious, outcome-based scam to destroy Elon Musk's free speech platform. Since Twitter users can curate their own advertising experience, Musk says an internal investigation shows that MMFA used Twitter/X accounts opened slightly more than 30 days ago to "evade content filtering" and then followed only extremist accounts and the platform's largest advertisers, therefore "precision design[ing]" unique pairings of the two in their feed. But, the lawsuit claims, that was still not enough to create the unique and extremist content they wanted to use in their hit pieces. Musk says that to achieve the most damning-looking content, Media Matters had to resort "to endless scrolling and refreshing its unrepresentative, hand-selected feed, generated between 13 and 15 times more advertisements per hour than the typical X user." The lawsuit says this "inauthentic activity" was kept up until MMFA got the desired result: "controversial content next to X's largest advertisers' paid posts."Musk vows he will sue Media Matters' board and even their donors: "all of them."
In its posts damning Musk and Twitter/X, the lawsuit says MMFA claims to have "found" this content, failing to note they'd manipulated the algorithm to achieve it. But as the lawsuit alleges, they didn't "find" it; they "created" it. MMFA then hid from readers and advertisers how the results were manipulated.
They posed questions to advertisers asking if they really wanted to be on a white supremacist, racist platform. Musk doesn't say how many advertisers left and how much money Twitter/X lost in revenue but acknowledges that MMFA's efforts drove away Apple, Comcast, NBCUniversal, and IBM. The only advertiser that didn't take the bait was Oracle. Other advertisers, Lionsgate, Warner Brothers, Discovery, Paramount, and Sony, believed MMFA's hype and yanked their Twitter/X ads. The pairing of the extremist content and all-star advertisers IBM, Comcast, and Oracle was so unique, the lawsuit says, that it showed up for only one Twitter user--the MMFA-manipulated account--out of all 500 million active users. MMFA's manipulated account was able to get a pairing of Apple and fringe content for only two users out of all Twitter/X users and one of them was Media Matters.

I'm not hopeful about this lawsuit. Slander and tortious interference with a business contract are supposedly torts that someone can be sued for, but in my experience, judges invoke a range of doctrines to excuse leftwing defamation (while applying a very different standard to right-wing speakers). We will soon have a judge claiming that outright defamation -- with malicious intent -- is just part of Media Matters' free speech rights and we must not burden those rights by allowing a lawsuit over them. But of course Disney could sue me at any time for telling the truth and a judge will let that lawsuit drag on for years. The left is determined to bankrupt Elon Musk so that he gives them their favorite propaganda website back again.

"Tortious interference is the act of intentionally interfering with someone’s business.
Tortious interference is all about intent. If the person doing the interfering did not intend to cause harm, then he has nothing to worry about. However, if he did something intentional for the purpose of interfering with normal business operations, then he is likely guilty of tortious interference."
Can Musk file the civil claim in a non-Leftwing Fascist jurisdiction? Because it looks like and open and shut case to me.

I agree with ace here -- MMFA will claim to be journalists, the judge will buy that, they'll cite NY Times v. Sullivan, and say "listen, we were trying to write a story. We were able to manipulate the algorithm to give us the story we want. That's journalism!"
and every major MSM media organization will file amicus briefs, probably including fox news.
...But maybe not. I guess time will tell.

"Slander and tortious interference with a business contract are supposedly torts that someone can be sued for, but in my experience, judges invoke a range of doctrines to excuse leftwing defamation (while applying a very different standard to right-wing speakers)."
Slander is tough to win against "public" entities because the courts have fucked up the relevant legal standards. You don't even need a leftwing judge choosing sides.
Tortious interference with contract is one of those legal doctrines that exists on paper, and plaintiffs put it in their complaints mostly for leverage. But in reality that claim has such a high standard to meet that it almost never succeeds.

NEW: An X executive discloses that the content highlighted in Media Matters' article constituted a mere 50 out of 5,500,000,000 ad impressions served throughout the entire day.
In reality, virtually no authentic users encountered these ads juxtaposed with the mentioned content—except for Media Matters' employees, who intentionally exploited the system to locate such material.
How did Media Matters achieve this?
They created three new accounts, each following only a small number of accounts posting objectionable material.
By relentlessly refreshing their timeline—13 times more frequently than an average user—they were able to capture screenshots of major corporate advertisements alongside the targeted content.
This revelation exposes Media Matters' calculated strategy: generating these screenshots as leverage to compel major advertisers to withdraw their ads from X.
Deceptive, manipulative, and evil?

But as the lawsuit alleges, they didn't "find" it; they "created" it.
There seems to be some evidence that the 'screen steals' were manipulated via Photoshop or other media. Real screen steal 'A' plus screen steal of advert 'B' = C.
Could I do that? In a heartbeat. Five minutes max, beginning to end. Would it be perfect and undetectable? To most eyes.

Tortious Interference isn't something Courts particularly like, since a lot of totally legitimate business moves kind of fall under that broad definition, no?
If I open a competing pizza business next to an existing pizza business, and sell my pizzas cheaper, I'm definitely intentionally interfering with someone's business, and I am definitely trying to harm their business (at the expense of my business).
How do you think a court would like at that case?
That said, it exists for a reason -- for example, let's say my neighbor has a landscaping company, and I get pissed at him about something, then go to all of his customers and say "hey, this guy is real shady, unreliable, and a shitty landscaper."
Hard to get a defamation case there, but that could potentially be a tortious interference case.
Obviously Musk would say this situation is closer to that analogy.

See my comment above. These claims will be hard to win even without a leftwing judge choosing sides.
I'm not sure what to make of the "alternate account" theory. It doesn't seem like a slander or tortious interference claim to me. Sounds like straight-up fraud. But the problem there is that the fraud wasn't directed at X. It was directed at the advertisers. So X might not have ... wait for it ... standing to sue for that fraud.

It would be great to have some lawyers opine on this. The one thing that I'd say is that because it's tech, and X owns its platform, then they should have the receipts to prove what they're asserting. It's not like traditional media where it's harder to establish that same causal relationship.

See my comment above. These claims will be hard to win even without a leftwing judge choosing sides.
I'm not sure what to make of the "alternate account" theory. It doesn't seem like a slander or tortious interference claim to me. Sounds like straight-up fraud. But the problem there is that the fraud wasn't directed at X. It was directed at the advertisers. So X might not have ... wait for it ... standing to sue for that fraud.

I wish him well with this.
In a related matter, this J6 business, there really should be criminal prosecutions against anyone who willfully hid the evidence that people who are now in federal prison, were convicted, when there was exculpatory evidence that they'd done nothing more than walk through a building.
And these media entities ought be right there on the line, having to justify calling this thing an insurrection, and these people traitors and terrorists.
I don't expect courts to settle all this, but if enough people get fed up by it, we could potentially see the country go back to something other than a Soviet style control of information.

If I open a competing pizza business next to an existing pizza business, and sell my pizzas cheaper, I'm definitely intentionally interfering with someone's business, and I am definitely trying to harm their business (at the expense of my business).
How do you think a court would like at that case?
Fair competition is a valid defense against a claim of intentional interference.
OTOH If you say publicly that the other pizza joint is ridden with cockroaches, that's not fair competition.

I'd take ruthless control of that platform, assign the most dogged folks I could find with my general aims in mind - including blatant cash incentives if necessary - and use that honey-pot to cast a net. And collect all the social media statements I could.

I suspect Elon, like a lot of his ilk, simply doesn't have the will or attention span to do so.

I dunno. It seems pretty easy to prove in a material way that Brock purposely misrepresented, via doctored findings, the advertising fundamentals on X. One might further state that proven manipulation shows an intent to intentionally interfere is a business contract, and caused material reputational and financial harm to X. Not a slam dunk for sure, but with the best tort lawyers in the world crafting that suit, it could get interesting.

That said, it exists for a reason -- for example, let's say my neighbor has a landscaping company, and I get pissed at him about something, then go to all of his customers and say "hey, this guy is real shady, unreliable, and a shitty landscaper."
Hard to get a defamation case there, but that could potentially be a tortious interference case.
Obviously Musk would say this situation is closer to that analogy.
Posted by: Harry Paratestes at November 21, 2023 01:12 PM (mj0Qp)
Or maybe more accurately, it would be like you going around town, telling all his potential customers he's a nazzie or a kiddie diddler, and therefore they should not do business with him because it would hurt their standing in the community to be associated with such an evil monster as he.
If it was just a matter of you expressing your opinion on his work, that's one thing. Lying about who he is would be quite another. And that's what Media Matters has done.

thing I learned while making claims against corporations (in my evil youth) was the thing of "piercing the corporate veil" or suing individuals for actions taken by the corporation.
Dealing with things like taxes, it is pretty easy, since the government must have its share, but for run of the mill stuff you have to show extraordinary behavior. I suspect TwiXter has the evidence.
Corporate protection is important, but it is not supposed to protect malicious players from being sued for misbehaving. It is supposed to protect the members from actions of the corporation, not be a mask for misdeed by individuals.

Musk also doesn't seem the type that has time for vanity
lawsuits. He must see some merit in this and thinks he has the "goods" to make something stick.
When he went after the ADL, they subsequently surrendered, so this stuff does work.
Our side just normally sucks at lawfare, mostly because the legal profession is so left-wing.

72 I'm not sure what to make of the "alternate account" theory. It doesn't seem like a slander or tortious interference claim to me. Sounds like straight-up fraud. But the problem there is that the fraud wasn't directed at X. It was directed at the advertisers. So X might not have ... wait for it ... standing to sue for that fraud.

Not a lawyer, but If someone tells a person you engage in business with "lies" that then hurt your business, seems a textbook case to be for libel/slander and the organization harmed has standing.
Do I think X prevails? No, because it's a right vs left thing, and that's all that matters now in courtrooms.

Standing wouldn't be an issue for a libel/slander claim. But those are hard claims to win on their own. See my comments above. You generally need more than just a "lie" to win. You need a lie that is especially derogatory or nasty, made with deliberately malicious intent.
The standing issue might be a problem for a fraud case, as I explain above. A fraud case you don't need a derogatory lie. Just any lie that causes you injury.

Government Warns That With Elon Owning A Social Media Platform They Will Only Control 97% Of The Media
Yeah. Well, part of what really got the American Revolution going was the idea that the Crown couldn't control thought and communication right down to the level of paper, ink, and time on a press.
And 1/3 of the colonists thought that level of control was a fine idea. Kept radical thoughts from corrupting otherwise fine people. I can't be the only one amused by living in the most free, most accessible age ever regarding communication, free debate, and exchange of ideas - while also watching folks otherwise self-sure in their own allegiance to the ideas of The Enlightenment also stomp around the Information Superhighway censoring the free exchange of willing traders in a manner that would make Goebbels blush.

Writer for Daily Beast mad at Elon for not doing enough to moderate antisemitic content
2 days earlier he flipped out because Jonathon Greenblatt thanked Elon for taking steps to moderate antisemitic slogans
These people don’t care about antisemitism. It’s just “spaceship man bad!”

For $300 million a year he could fund 20 scholarships to each of the top 50 law schools in the country for $100,000 each. Hand pick his candidates and they'd be churning out 1,000 lawyers a year. Satan himself would blush.

I suspect Elon, like a lot of his ilk, simply doesn't have the will or attention span to do so.
On the contrary, I believe Elon Musk is the world's biggest autist. Once he decides to do something, he can't not do it.

There's no law against pressuring advertisers to drop X. Nor is there a law against trying to ruin a business. If there were, then almost every business trying to vanquish a competitor would be toast.
"Malicious" is a legal standard that means more than just intent to do something. It amounts basically to intentionally saying something derogatory about X to injure X while knowing that something is false as a matter of fact. Hard standard to prove. Many such cases are brought. Not many succeed.

When my GIL was still in private practice, he was defamed in court by an opposing attorney. He then asked on the record if that attorney would like to meet him on the courthouse steps to go to "fist city". (The courts were a little different back then, yet somehow MORE civil.)

Ngo scoop: Often there is a link between those who target @elonmusk and Antifa. Jack Wheatley is a staff writer for leftist activist group Media Matters, which news organizations cite without reporting the group's political agenda. Corporations also take cues from MM for boycotts.
Jack Wheatley was previously a writer for Idavox, a website for antifa group One People's Project, founded by Daryle Lamont Jenkins. Through court proceedings, it was revealed that Jenkins is behind the website for Torch Antifa, the network behind the most violent criminal Antifa cells in the U.S. that include Rose City Antifa and others.
Media Matters is a nonprofit that rakes in huge donations to launder the writings of Antifa propagandists into the mainstream. It is the same playbook from the SPLC, though they have a diminished status because of several financial and employee scandals where they were accused of racism from within, and one of their staffers is currently a domestic terror suspect in Georgia.

I gotta hand it to the left. They really knew where to distribute their soldiers.
I really don't think that's how it works. Rules for Radicals makes a lot of sense, and it explains pretty much how we got here.
Life is not a game of checkers. The board isn't level. The two sides are not even. The rules are not fair. You take your assets, use them to raise as many troops as you can, then turn them loose with some general guidance.
We are where we are because the current communists love being part of government and the bureaucracy. I still have no reason to think it was a "master plan". They simply trained up a bunch, with an effort that was always around but gained traction immediately after WW II, and turned them loose to do what they enjoyed and then reinforced success.
Frankly - you take Rules for Radicals combined with War As I Knew It ? You get the current political situation and strategy from the Modern Communists.

They simply trained up a bunch, with an effort that was always around but gained traction immediately after WW II, and turned them loose to do what they enjoyed and then reinforced success.
Frankly - you take Rules for Radicals combined with War As I Knew It ? You get the current political situation and strategy from the Modern Communists.

Trump-Appointed Judge to Preside Over Elon Musk’s High-Profile Lawsuit Against Far-left Media Matters
Good news for Elon Musk. [...]
A judge appointed by former President Donald Trump will oversee the high-profile lawsuit filed by Musk against the far-left organization Media Matters.
The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas Fort Worth Division, alleges that Media Matters’ report was “malicious” and “intended to drive advertisers away from X.” The lawsuit also claims that Media Matters’ report was “based on false information” and that the organization “knowingly and recklessly published the false report in order to damage X’s reputation and business.”
The Attorneys General from Missouri and Texas, Andrew Bailey and Ken Paxton announced that they will investigate Media Matters for potential fraudulent activity.
Elon Musk’s high-profile defamation lawsuit against Media Matters landed in the hands of District Judge Mark Pittman, a Donald Trump appointee with a history of rulings favorable to conservative causes.

No. Not if he's serious.

>>>I'm not hopeful about this lawsuit. Slander and tortious interference with a business contract are supposedly torts that someone can be sued for, but in my experience, judges invoke a range of doctrines to excuse leftwing defamation (while applying a very different standard to right-wing speakers).
I suspect you are correct - as a legal matter. However, the lawsuit will be effective as a PR tactic. Musk gets his side of the story out in a very visible manner.

There's a version of a win in which Musk succeeds in revealing what Media Matters is to the world and buries them in the court of public opinion.
Yes. Regardless of what the Constitution says, folks in New Jersey will only get to carry a gun again when they win in the court of public opinion. The Bidens will only get convicted of anything when first convicted in the court of public opinion. And so on, and so forth. That's just how it all works. Always has worked. Always will work.

He describes himself as an anarcho-capitalist. Michael Malice describes himself as an anarcho-capitalist.
They're calling Prezzie Milei a "far right winger.'
It gives me some degree of joy knowing Malice has to deal with "his kind" being so labeled.
Posted by: BurtTC at November 21, 2023 01:34 PM (dGCAG)
Malice says he is an anarchist, not an anarcho-capitalist since he is shaky on the capitalist part, but he also calls the media the enemy of the people, and considers everything they say to be a lie, including the words "And" and "The"
Argentina has a large history with Italian Anarchism, specifically Anarcho-Syndicalism, and if you have time to spare, read about one of the Anarchist leaders, "Facon Grande" in the Patagonia revolt. Milei has some cultural background that predates Peronism and has part of that myth going for him.

first 2 paragraphs, if yer interested:
Big hitters on Wall Street are lining up to support Nikki Haley’s long-shot bid to snatch the 2024 Republican presidential nomination from Donald Trump.
"There’s a desperate, desperate hunt for anybody but Trump," said one of the roughly 30 senior executives The Wall Street Journal spoke with to gauge the mood of the finance set roughly a year ahead of the election.

Yep. The money is getting behind Haley. Wall Street, the Paul Ryan GOPe, etc. are backing her.
And if you notice she's not going after Trump, but DeSantis. The GOPe either knows what's going to happen to Trump or intends to keep him off the ballot.
Haley will be the nominee.

We now have the most free, both intellectually and economically, medium for exchanging ideas - literally - in recorded human history.
We don't need ANYONE empowered to control it. Quite the opposite, we need less empowered to delete thought. We need the Wild West version of exchange of ideas. We need less control, now more than ever.
True Libertarianism. Not some idea in a controlled magazine. The freedom to make statements, as long as you can afford the ink and paper ... which are all virtually free now.

Musk has a slam dunk case of tortious interference.
No judge can find for the 'opinion of defendant' defence, because MMFA MANUFACTURED defamatory evidence against X to scare off it's business.
Coupled with a Trump appointed judge in Fort Worth, Texas with a history of finding in favor of conservative causes and two state Attorneys General launching fraud investigations against them, MMFA is fucked.

The big problem for lawfare with the right is that we have inexplicably been picking judges for the bench that promise to defer to precedent and not be "judicial activists" while the left ONLY appoints people who promise to be judicial activists.

"Conserving", now that governing has moved so far beyond what was set out in the Constitution, isn't enough. We need to appoint jurors who are going to be "Restoring"

I wonder why Trump doesn't have amazing lawyers. Seriously.
I don't. I'm no lawyer, but I'm pretty good at what I do. Would not work for the guy. Objectively - Trump is a pain in the ass on a different scale. Patton, although a pain in the ass, had those moments where he'd level that "yes, I'm a pain in the ass". That was probably really endearing when he did it.
Trump doesn't do that.

George Soros is a billionaire who made his fortune through hedge fund management and currency speculation and has donated billions of dollars through his Open Society Foundations philanthropic agency and to other progressive causes and organizations.

You know, at some point - either nut up or shut up.
Disbarment isn't going to jail. It's simply losing your spot on the gravy train. If you believe the election was rigged ... and I do ... and the consequence of losing is you have to take another line of work ?
Disbarment isn't standing over a mass grave ditch. At least not yet. Make your case, then let the chips fall where they may.

Then a "good" lawyer is good in the context of "successful". Like a mosquito or leach. Not "good" in any kind of social sense where we should hold a door for them.
