Hey Bill, do you happen to know the name of the firm representing him?
I’d certainly be interested in talking to that student.
He would be the fourth person I’ve represented who was falsely smeared as a mass murderer by a rightwing misinfo campaign.
I’m getting pretty good at it.

Today my law firm secured a quarter-billion dollar verdict in New Mexico against Michelin for defects in their tires that threaten all of our lives on the roadway, and I don’t think you’ll see a single news story about it. Corporate malfeasance thrives in the shadows.
My partner Kyle Farrar and I spoke to ABOTA about the benefits and challenges of live-streaming the Alex Jones trial. It was a great conversation along with David Siegel of Courtroom View Network:

In addition to being in the process of losing his business, this man has also lost his juice.
I look forward to providing more updates soon. I strongly believe that PACs should not be able to harvest information through deception, and this may be the most egregious example of that conduct in American history.
Since the case is going forward, the court noted that Musk will soon be subject to discovery regarding AmericaPAC’s activities:
The court summarized the plaintiff's cause of action as follows:
![Defendants argue that Plaintiff has not properly alleged three of those elements. They first contend that Plaintiff has not pled a plausible false representation because, in Defendants’ view, the PAC’s decision to “pre-determine” recipients is consistent with the notion that the recipients were selected “randomly.” (Mot., Dkt. 5, at 16–17). Defendants’ argument on this ground is wholly unpersuasive. As Defendants themselves point out, a common definition for “randomly” is “lacking a definite plan, purpose, or pattern.” (Id. at 16 (citing Random Definition, Merriam-Webster.com, https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/randomly)). If Defendants pre-determined the $1 million recipients based on their personal stories rather than chance, as Plaintiff has alleged, then the recipients were obviously not chosen in a way that “lack[ed] a definite plan, purpose, or pattern.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yj24lhakttv2r562euqdgp7u/bafkreiduqbs7ubhgm4gqqwcn5hu4mfwbb3vs3a2radgfgbrp7cjk46ttyi)
Musk’s attorneys attempted to argue that the use of pre-selected winners was actually consistent with Musk’s pledge of a “random” giveaway. The court found this argument “wholly unpersuasive.”
![In this case, the Court need not rely on common sense to understand that Defendants found Plaintiff’s PII valuable because Defendants themselves created a market for Plaintiff’s PII. Aside from the $1 million award, the Petition encouraged those who signed the Petition to refer others to sign it and offered $47 “for each registered voter referred who signed the [P]etition.” (Compl., Dkt. 1, ¶ 10). This offer suggests that Defendants themselves believed that every eligible voter’s PII was worth at least $47 because that was the amount Defendants were willing to pay to obtain it. It is disingenuous for Defendants to argue that Plaintiff’s PII has no value when Defendants went through so much effort—two monetary programs, multiple town halls, several social media posts—to acquire it. Plaintiff has sufficiently alleged that Defendants valued the PII and that she lost that value by giving Defendants her PII without getting what she bargained for in return—a random chance to win $1 million.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yj24lhakttv2r562euqdgp7u/bafkreif6tmnhf2flqbtinvxuvb6bgzy3qoshgowisp7ubp2kmbzypwp2h4)
As the judge explained in yesterday’s order, the value of that data secured from one million signers of the petition amounts to at least $47 million.
Musk and AmericaPAC used this false promise to harvest the contact information of a million swing state voters weeks before an election. That kind of data has value, and it was secured through fraud.
These cases were brought because Musk, through AmericaPAC, made false promises of a random daily giveaway of $1 million to any swing-state voter who signed his petition. But in reality, the winners were pre-selected. It was a scam.
9 months later, and I’m happy to report that Musk’s attempt to dismiss this class-action has failed. Let me give you some updates… 🧵
The world has been pretty dark but I just wanted you to know that every now and then the dark news will be interrupted by a picture of your lads in their little outfits or whatever and it honestly does make it a little better.
My dumb ass at 19 signing my first predatory loan.
I’m seeing so much conflicting info on this. I’ve seen posts saying the hoax profile stole its profile pic from some nice lady named Hope who has uploaded videos of her in tears saying it’s her pic but not her account. Picking apart disinformation is growing exponentially harder.
You seem to be a highly unpleasant individual so I’m going to stop talking to you now.
You might not want to come in my replies and call my followers stupid when you weren’t even capable of reading my tweets and screenshots which make quite clear that Cindy Steinberg did not say any of the things being claimed. It was a Nazi hoax. And you fell for it. And then you didn’t even read.
If I could define my disdain for mainstream media in one way it would be this: no one gets smarter or more informed about policy/history/procedures from watching CNN. If you forced someone to watch CNN cover a bill for a month, 99% of viewers wouldn't be able to answer basic questions about the bill
Smart move by Newsom. 1) Fox is vulnerable after the Dominion settlement and he chose the right number. 2) with Trump, Musk & the bad faith right weaponizing defamation and libel laws to attack their critics, it’s time liberals and leftists fight (legal) fire with fire. Sue ‘em.
Gavin Newsom is suing Fox News for $787 million -- the same amount Fox paid to Dominion -- for making false claims about his phone call with Trump.

Proud to announce that today my co-counsel Michael Teter and I have filed a defamation lawsuit against Fox News on behalf of Governor Gavin Newsom.

I am a lawyer and you are absolutely correct.
AMERICA 2025
Alex Jones, Benny Johnson, and everyone else in their orbit don't give a shit who this guy really is, and they don't care even a whit about the people he murdered. Their job is to make dumb, fearful people even dumber and more afraid, so they buy sweatshirts and sea moss pills.
It concerns me that we're in age not just of political assassinations, but Holocaust-denial-levels of denialism by US senators
The nazi site is full of propaganda from musk on down that the MN assassin is a leftist. At times it feels like radio rwanda, absolutely disturbing
