The ‘free speech absolutist’ gleefully promoting anti-vaccine misinformation is now suing a hate speech watchdog for “using flawed methodologies to advance incorrect, misleading narratives."
We need laws against business owners that frivolously run their business into the ground and damage others’ without retaining any liability beyond the business’ death.
Isn’t he being sued by Tesla shareholders for literally that?
They have a civil suit against him, but that kind of lawsuit is almost never successful (edit: at pinning liability onto the business owner - I’m saying liability will probably only fall to Twitter and not Musk personally /edit). Twitter is still a limited liability company, and now that it is privately owned its owners are free to run it into the ground - they don’t have an obligation to shareholders.
Private businesses should be free to do this, but this was a publicly traded company turned private, so arguably there should be solid protections in law that make this wrong rather than the only option being a difficult civil lawsuit.

But Tesla isn’t a private business. It’s a public business that’s traded on the stock exchange. That’s a huge difference from the bird site.
Don’t forget both Tesla and SpaceX ( who are heavily subsided by the American government also) employees was taken from their jobs and working on making more of a mess of Twitter
We have it, it’s called “Piercing the corporate veil.” Twitter being a California company should make it easier.

OP suggests we add legal protections against what Musk is doing and your response is to point out that he’s not doing anything illegal. Thanks man, wise words.

Sueing anti-hate groups will really bring in the advertisers! Another genius move.
Hopefully it’ll get thrown out, seems pretty meritless.
“Their doing hate speech against me! Ironic is it not?”
“Mr. musk, telling you that you’re doing a bad job of managing moderation is not hate speech”
“ WELL I HATED IT!”
CCDH would love for this lawsuit to happen. Discovery would not be favorable to the dead bird site.
