It's only a racket when liberals do it.

Ok, so money is either speech or it isn't. I mention this because noted supervillian, Elon Musk is evidently planning to sue companies who bailed on Twitter when he took over and started platforming actual Nazis.

Remember when the worst thing he'd done with his Twitter acquisition
 was just to ignore zoning laws? Man, those were the days...

And other times people pretend Trader Joe's
isn't suing to end organized labor forever.

Sorry, that's not fair. I shouldn't just dismiss people as Nazis because they espouse a white nationalist, white supremacist, fascist worldview. I should dismiss them as fucking Nazis--that's right, I did a swear, but I mean, Nazis. Anyway, when Musk took over Twitter, gave it its objectively terrible rebranding and started to re-platform the worst people in the world, companies understandably said no thank you, and stopped advertising on the rapidly-cooling corpse of the social media site. It's called boycotting and sometimes it even works.

Remember that time he built a truck
that couldn't get wet? Yeah, that was great.

But, according to Musk, it's a racket when businesses choose not to work with a company they find objectionable:

"X has no choice but to file suit against the perpetrators and collaborators in the advertising boycott racket."

-The guy that bought Twitter

so he could let Nazi's back on

What? He said he plans to be a dictator
and has blond hair: Butterscotch Hitler.

And now he's threatening to sue, so I guess what I'm asking is why is an advertiser boycott a racket, but the world's richest man buys a social media site because he doesn't like that they banned Butterscotch Hitler for repeatedly violating their rules, it's not? Unless--hey, you don't suppose that Elon Musk just thinks that the rules don't apply to him. But where would someone who grew up super-rich thanks to his family's emerald mines, get the idea that he was somehow better than everybody else and that--oh, right, the life of wealth and privilege. 

Under normal circumstances, I'd say this is nothing to worry about. After all, suing businesses for not advertising on your dumb website isn't a crime. But then the thin veneer of civilization has been wearing away recently what with the recent decision by a bunch of judges that president's have immunity for pretty much anything. So maybe worry?

Pictured: the six Supreme Court Justices who came down on the side
of "the President is basically a king." And three of them were appointed by
a guy most Americans didn't vote for who, incidentally, was the king in question.
