I hate this timeline so much.

The object of the lawsuit is to get these deep pocketed corporations to settle for millions. If the companies aren’t able to get the suits dismissed, they will settle. They don’t want to get on the wrong side of the current administration and it’s less costly than a years long legal battle.

Lego is based in Denmark and nestle is in Switzerland.

The actual "easy" part is that you can sue anyone for pretty much anything. Suing is entirely different from winning the case.

Why they think they have a chance of winning is the weirder question, especially when Musk publically told the advertisers to go fuck themselves.

[mehblah@lemmy.world]

I suppose after he gets done there he will come after people like me who have blocked every musk related business from my network.

Can you screenshot that or something. I can't see it without the Facebook account I refuse to have.

[artvandelay@lemmy.world]

Don't have to win, just drag the case out, causing both sides to spend fortunes on legal fees. Guess who has the most money.

Suing companies for not advertising on a platform For Nazis, By Nazis.

It's also a strong signal to future boycotters.

Wait those cunts are Swiss?

I suddenly like the Swiss a tiny bit less.

[explodicle@sh.itjust.works]

Maybe it'll turn around after the Bell protests

YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO OTHER COMPANIES’ MONEY

[jaemo@sh.itjust.works]

To be able extra clear, fuck twitter, fuck nestle and fuuuuuuuck Musk.

[kryptonite@lemmy.world]

You mean the Bell Riots that started September 1, 2024? I'm not sure how to tell you this, but that didn't happen on schedule.

[werefreeatlast@lemmy.world]

I can't see it either. I'm not on Facebook. Someone found more details by googling it.

[tias@discuss.tchncs.de]

X has an estimated market cap of $9.4 billion, whereas Nestlé has a market cap of $219 billion. That's a corporate superpower with no qualms about monopolizing freshwater or bait- & switching breast milk formula from babies. And that's just one of the companies they're taking on, with a shitty case to boot. So yeah... if I was Elon I would keep my head down.

[sprocketfree@sh.itjust.works]

Anyone getting sued by him should just demand a jury trial. No way you'll get enough Americans to side with musk on anything.

[preflight_tomato@lemm.ee]

He’s levying tithes.

[null@slrpnk.net]

You can sue for anything.

[essteeyou@lemmy.world]

Maybe both at the same time. It's possible to do two things.
