A federal judge ruled to allow a lawsuit over the Twitter deal to proceed against Elon Musk, reasoning that Musk's false tweets and a comment of a poop emoji may be securities fraud.

I was hoping the poop emoji was going to have a more specific legal significance but it doesn't really seem to be an actual factor in any of it.

Elon Musk is the target of the class-action lawsuit.

A group of investor plaintiffs sued Musk for securities fraud alleging that Musk lied about the number of spam accounts on Twitter as part of a plan to drive down the company’s stock price and manipulate the terms of his acquisition.

You know what I find funny in all of this.

  • How it started: Musk tweeted for Twitter to be more transparent about Twitter in general and specifically about bot accounts.
  • How it's going: Musk suing people for showing everyone Nazi shit next to Disney ads.

I tell you, that 180° there, life comes at some folks fast.
