    The attorneys for Twitter asked to be included on any further information in the case? You’re allowed to just do that? Can I go into a courtroom and demand to be included in any for the communication and all relevant further information in a case? Are they taking Jones on as a client? I’m confused how they have legal standing to do this.

      If I were to guess, and question the existance of standing, my bet is musk was a bidder when infowars was put for sale. My guess is possibly the families themselves objected and asked the court to take a lower bid, that would do what they actually cared about (Create counter messaging to his blowhard conspiracy theories).

      You can go into a courtroom, no one can stop you from trying. And if Twitter’s attorneys want to represent Jones, they can certainly do so, in which case they will be included on future communication.

      A large percent of legal proceedings are not kept secret, so if the lawyers are not representing him and they are trying to make a big deal out of the fact that they want to get informed, actually they’re just grandstanding and there’s nothing to see here. Probably that’s what’s happening.

    Back about 25 years ago Jones was very anti fascist. Wonder what happened to completely ignore the actual fascists. Probably money from the fascists.
