The venn diagram of people who flipped out over 5G chips in the vaccine and people who are cheering this on must be a wild overlap.

This reminds me of an underrated movie:
Andrew Niccol is not a subtle writer or director, but I tend to like his work nonetheless.

Musk yesterday shared a post claiming that McCormick’s ruling “is another clear example of the Biden administration and its allies weaponizing the American legal system against their political opponents.”
Yes, the Federal Government and Biden are totally responsible for a shareholder suing over misleading information and a state court ruling against you on the issue. 
God, these people are exhausting.

i found that to be particularly easy on Musk, given all that he’s doing right now… very weird for Oliver, honestly. I was hoping he’d completely eviscerate him…

I am not a fan of the company named OpenAI being decidedly non-open.
Also, with regards to Mr. Musk:

The former Twitter executives’ lawsuit said the success fee payments were not valid grounds to fire them. Twitter’s severance plans defined cause narrowly as circumstances “such as being convicted of a felony or committing ‘gross negligence’ or ‘willful misconduct,’” the lawsuit said. “‘Cause’ is not ‘Board-approved business decisions that Musk dislikes’ from the time before he owned the Company.”
The former executives also pointed to the dozens of unpaid-paid bill lawsuits filed against Musk, who has repeatedly been accused of refusing to honor contracts that Twitter entered before the acquisition.
“Under Musk’s control, Twitter has become a scofflaw, stiffing employees, landlords, vendors, and others. Musk doesn’t pay his bills, believes the rules don’t apply to him, and uses his wealth and power to run roughshod over anyone who disagrees with him,” the former Twitter executives’ lawsuit said.

scofflaw is one of those words that I think I know the meaning of, but don’t think I’ve ever seen a formal definition of.
scofflaw /skŏf′lô″, skôf′-/
noun
- One who habitually violates laws, especially laws that do not involve serious criminal offenses.
- One who habitually violates minor laws or fails to answer trivial court summonses (such as parking tickets).
- An iconoclast.
- One who habitually ignores the law and does not answer court summonses.

Definition 1 is likely the intended meaning.
Ooh iconoclast:
iconoclast /ī-kŏn′ə-klăst″/
noun
- One who attacks and seeks to overthrow traditional or popular ideas or institutions.
- One who destroys sacred religious images.
- A breaker or destroyer of images or idols; a determined enemy of idol worship.

Definition 1 checks out, and goes some way towards explaining the legions of Musketeers he has collected in his wake.

In a stinging ruling, US judge Charles Breyer in California granted the motion. “Sometimes it is unclear what is driving a litigation, and only by reading between the lines of a complaint can one attempt to surmise a plaintiff’s true purpose. Other times, a complaint is so unabashedly and vociferously about one thing that there can be no mistaking that purpose. This case represents the latter circumstance. This case is about punishing the defendants for their speech,” he wrote in the decision.
The judge found that on top of punishing the CCDH for a report criticizing the company, X appeared to have filed the suit “perhaps in order to dissuade others who might wish to engage in such criticism.”
In a statement on X, the company said it disagreed with the court’s decisions and “plans to appeal.” Musk did not immediately comment on the case but last week wrote on the platform that the CCDH was a “truly evil organization that just wants to destroy the first amendment under the guise of doing good!”
The ruling:
