This is a lie.

> praised as a first amendment win by the highest office holders in the us government

Well, at one point the highest office holder in the US government looked directly at the sun during a solar eclipse, so this praise really doesn't say very much about whether it was a good or bad thing.

It’s tautologically the case that they wouldn’t have disbanded if they had 100% assurance this type of cartel was legal.

Also a lie. You should read up on SLAPP lawsuits. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_lawsuit_against_publ...

Musk is pretty famous for bringing forum-shopped SLAPP lawsuits against his critics, because he has enough money to ruin other people with legal fees. They do generally get thrown out, but the legal system is not an efficient truth and justice machine like you pretend, and there's no federal anti-SLAPP law in the US, only state laws that don't apply in Texas when suing in a federal court.

But circling back, please tell me that you recognize a difference between the words "boycott" and "blackmail".
