I watched Yaccarino's message - she looks and sounds like a hostage (which she kind of is - I doubt she will find another respectable job after X).

Besides the usual confirmation that Musk is going broke / prison soon-ish, and that explains the increasingly erratic actions, I wonder what winning looks like here ?

Let's say they win - they will get some compensation for past damages. But what about the future ? We're going to force companies to advertise on their platform ? Like a % based on users ? It all seems quite absurd to me.

I think their ultimate goal is to essentially either eliminate or turn the type of organizations that do this type of organizing.

I think an overall perception and strategy of the right now is that many institutions in America support liberal outcomes and that in order to change that you have to attack these institutions.

So either get rid of GARM or take over GARM and change the standards of what safe media is.
