This episode of Serious Trouble is interesting.

I had heard about Elon Musk's lawsuit against the advertisers, and I *almost* posted something at the time harping on the First Amendment to argue that the lawsuit was bullshit, but I stopped myself.

I think I was right to stop myself. It is more a matter of antitrust law than a matter of First Amendment. I'm definitely not as knowledgeable about antitrust law as I am about the First Amendment.

However, the lawsuit is still bullshit. Ken White explains it well in this episode.

Just as we can’t effectively fight intolerance with tolerance, we can’t effectively fight bad speech with more speech.
