    It’s ridiculous in the first place that this was allowed to be brought to Texas. Twitter is based in California; Media Matters is based in DC. Both organizations have fuck-all to do with the jurisdiction this case was brought before, except of course that Texas are in the chickendick minority of states who haven’t passed anti-SLAPP legislation yet and thus wouldn’t dismiss Musk’s case outright.

    Also, eat used gum off the toilet in a park bathroom, Musk; eating shit isn’t good enough for you.

    Edit: I was fairly mistaken about the anti-SLAPP thing; it’s still stupid, but definitely see below for clarification.

      Texas does have anti-SLAPP laws passed and they are among the strongest in the nation. Unfortunately, the courts have ruled that they cannot be used in federal courts.
