At an emergency hearing this week, lawyers for the social media company appeared. They haven’t explained why.

    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).

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

      Just the usual right-libertarian brainrot. You either become increasingly more authoritarian, a boring liberal, or a leftist, since right-libertarianism cannot defend itself against fascism.

    I hate this timeline, because you just know that Trump is going to give a metal to this asshole before he leaves office, just like he did with Limbaugh.

      Alex Jones deserves a metal. A lead, to be precise.
