    Elon Musk Deposed In Lawsuit For Falsely Linking Jewish Man To Neo-Nazi Brawl

    Elon Musk was deposed in a recent lawsuit for falsely linking a 22-year-old Jewish man to a neo-Nazi brawl. Musk, who attempted to keep the deposition from the public, admits he did no research into his false claim, among other revelations.

    Elon Musk is backing Mandalorian actor’s suit against Disney

    Three years after Disney cut ties with The Mandalorian’s Gina Carano, the actor is now filing a lawsuit against the company — with a little help from Elon Musk.

    As The Hollywood Reporter reports, Carano is suing Disney for discrimination and wrongful termination after she was fired following inflammatory and antisemitic posts on X (then Twitter) and Instagram. At the time of Carano’s firing, Disney said in a statement that “her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.”

    As for the timing, Carano is filing the lawsuit now because Musk posted in August of last year that “if you were unfairly treated by your employer due to posting or liking something on this platform, we will fund your legal bill.”

    Insider Intelligence estimates that X's ad business will bring in $2.9 billion this year, down from roughly $4.14 billion in 2022.

    X's advertising business has nosedived. Musk himself admitted in September that the company's U.S. ad business was down 60%.

    Usage has also decreased, with monthly active users falling 14.8% globally and 17.8% in the U.S. year-over-year for the month of September, per SimilarWeb.

    User churn, or users who stop using the app, increased more than 30% year-over-year as of September 2023, per Sensor Tower.

    Web traffic was down 7% globally and 11.6% in the U.S. for the first 9 months of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, per SimilarWeb.

    Elon Musk had engineers turn off satellite network to disrupt Ukrainian attack on Russian fleet.

    Musk’s decision, which left Ukrainian officials begging him to turn the satellites back on, was driven by an acute fear that Russia would respond to a Ukrainian attack on Crimea with nuclear weapons, a fear driven home by Musk’s conversations with senior Russian officials.

    I didn't realize that when he talked about turning Twitter into "X, the everything app" Elon Musk was literally talking about changing the name of the site to X but that's what it sounds like here.
