In 2018, I filed the first defamation lawsuits against Alex Jones,
ultimately discrediting him in court. Today, I am proud to announce I
have filed suit against yet another notorious disseminator of false information: The owner of this platform, Elon Musk.
This new lawsuit was filed on behalf of Ben Brody, a 22-year-old
recent college graduate who has been forced to take action due to
Musk's astonishingly reckless conduct here on Twitter.
So it seems fitting to post a Twitter thread to provide some
information for the media and public about the case. Here is my
statement:
The lawsuit alleges that on June 27th, in yet another example of his
growing tendency to spread false information, Musk falsely told the
world there was evidence indicating Ben Brody participated in a
violent street brawl on behalf of a neo-Nazi extremist group.
Musk also falsely told the world that that Ben Brody's alleged
participation in the extremist brawl meant the incident was probably a
"false flag" operation to deceive the American public.
Musk made these ridiculously false and damaging accusations based on a
tweet he had seen from an anonymous rightwing extremist Twitter
account from the revolting "Groyper" subculture. Musk amplified the
accusations for two days before finally defaming Ben himself on June
27th.
