Hooray for free speech, except when we disagree with it!
This is not a free speech issue. X isn't pushing back because they don't like the speaker or the content of that speech. This is (alleged) intentional fraud perpetrated to financially harm a party.
Remember when Elno said he welcomed his critics on twitter?
In reality, he's been hostile to critics of his and Tesla and this has been shown time and time again. This goes far beyond the kid who was posting public info about his private planes and has extended to numerous other examples.
Elno likes to talk about free speech generally, but what he really means is that he believes in free speech only insofar as he can use it to protect himself. For example, he will try to use it to be a shield from the consequences of carelessly falling for right wing conspiracy theories and ruining people's lives (see recent example
here) but strangely he doesn't think about free speech at all when trying to shut down opposing points of view. Even when he acknowledges that those views he doesn't like are based in fact, as is the case here. His ridiculous frivolous lawsuit concedes that MMFA's position is based on truth, but it's a truth that Elno would prefer not be known.
This entire episode is nothing more than Elno trying to suppress speech that he doesn't like because it makes him look bad and will cost his failing business even more money.
