I don't want to tell anyone how to sue Disney for firing them for making fun of people who voice their pronoun preferences, but is accepting help from Elon Musk really the best way to distance yourself from a reputation as "an alt right wing extremist?"

Because that's a little like teaming up with Chipotle to distance yourself from norovirus. |

"The 2020 election was rigged!"
-Carano, seen here ruining her own career |
I ask because Gina Carano is accepting help from Elon Musk to sue Disney for firing her for making fun of people who voice their pronoun preferences. Oh, and I guess also she was spreading some dangerous bullshit about vaccines? I don't know, I didn't pay attention at the time. Sure, I was bummed that weren't going to get that Star Wars spin-off series, but holy shit, did she compare Jews during the Holocaust with Republicans? Yikes. Sorry, what was I talking about? Oh, right, the lawsuit.

For Carano's sake, I hope there are no steep inclines along the way... |
She's suing Disney because they didn't want to be associated with her. You know, for all that nonsense she spouts. Anyway, like a knight in shining money, Elon Musk is now riding to Carano's rescue and to the rescue of anyone else who tweeted hateful vitriol on Twitter only to have people say: "hey, please stop with the hateful vitriol." Which is weird because he's this hyper-capitalist nutter who thinks that the ultimate arbiter of all things should be the free market, yet when Disney fired Carano for damaging their brand with the aforementioned nonsense, suddenly they're impinging on free speech.
And I mean, I feel like we've been through this already. Free speech is free speech, and the First Amendment is the First Amendment, but Disney has no legal obligation to keep toxic people on their payroll and nobody forced Elon Musk to let the white nationalists back on Twitter. He chose to give them a platform. He bought it, gave the rabid foam lunatics their accounts back, and then gave it a dumb name that everybody hates.

A dumb name that everybody hates and had to be taken off the building because nobody at the company could be bothered to secure the proper permits. But I'm sure their lawyers are top notch... |
