Latest update on Musk's lawsuit 🚨

We went to court against the world’s richest man - here’s what happened. [Center for Countering Digital Hate]( Dear Friend, We have news! Yesterday, we got our day in court to defend ourselves against [Elon Musk's attempt to silence us.]( The hearing was held by Californian Senior District Judge, Honorable Charles R. Breyer. It didn’t go well for Musk. At one point the judge called X's argument as "one of the most vapid extensions of law that I've ever heard." Yesterday was an important moment to stand for independent researchers, free speech and for democratic accountability. We needed to send a clear message: billionaire bullies won’t intimidate us and shouldn’t be able to wield baseless legal threats to silence critics who identify real problems. We remain hopeful that this lawsuit will come to a swift and decisive end when the court grants our motion to dismiss. Friend, now more than ever, we need your continued support. You can play a vital role in standing for independent research, accountability and honest criticism. Will you donate and help us fuel our fight against the billionaire bully? [DONATE TODAY]( It is part of our strategy to ensure that hate and disinformation are no longer profitable. If Musk’s lawsuit wins, it poses not just a risk to our approach to driving change but also to other researchers, academics, journalists and the entire tech accountability sector. We can’t let Elon Musk win this case. It will set a precedent that any tech billionaire or social media mogul can silence their critics for having the audacity to publish research in the public interest. Your generosity empowers us to fight back against those who seek to silence us.
