Oh, what for this time?

Honestly, I'm starting to wonder if Musk isn't even more insane than Trump. He always was a narcissit megalomaniac, but he's reaching levels of cartoon villain that would be comical if not for his actual real influence.

Elon Musk's X sues California over AI law targeting deepfakes, deceptive election content
Elon Musk's social media platform X is suing California over a new state law targeting deceptive, AI-generated election content, claiming that it violates First Amendment free speech protectionsKnown as the Defending Democracy From Deepfake Deception Act of 2024, the law requires social media companies to block and remove "materially deceptive" content related to elections and candidates beginning 120 days before an election in California, as well as 60 days after an election if the content pertains to election officials.
The measure also compels online platforms to label so-called deepfake content as being inauthentic and set up procedures for California residents to report content that is not in compliance.
Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 2655 into law in September, one of three bills that received his signature this year that were aimed at cracking down on AI election deepfakes. The new laws immediately faced legal challenges.
The complaint filed by X on Thursday in Sacramento federal court argues that the law would lead to widespread censorship of political speech.
"There is a long history of the strongest of First Amendment protections for speech critical of government officials and candidates for public office that includes tolerance for potentially false speech made in the context of such criticisms," according to the complaint, which was first reported by Bloomberg News.
The lawsuit comes just weeks after a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against a related measure, AB 2839, allowing any person to sue for damages over election deepfakes. U.S. District Judge John A. Mendez said that while artificial intelligence and deepfakes pose significant risks, the law likely violates the First Amendment.
The injunction came after a person who creates parody videos — including altered audio of Vice President Kamala Harris — filed a lawsuit claiming free speech censorship and saying the law would allow anyone to take legal action over content they dislike. One of his videos was shared by Musk on X, prompting Newsom to respond by vowing to ban such content.
Newsom's office says the laws against AI-generated election content do not ban satire and parodies, but requires the disclosure of the use of AI to be displayed.
More than half of all states in the country have passed or are considering bills to crack down on AI-generated election communications, according to a report from Axios.

Hmm, I saw that the stockholders voted 77% to give him the package.
Oh, and apparently he was working without pay at the time. Said package only came into effect if he hit the targets they set.
He did.
Btw, saw a report that said this is the same judge who told Musk he HAD to complete the purchase of twitter after he balked when he saw the books on the company.
hrm....

True. However, there is generally an out if it turns out one side was cooking the books. (aka lied about income, projections etc)
Oh, and your statement means that Musk should be paid, Company signed a contract right?
When 77% of the stockholders vote on something, whyinhell is this even in court?
Presumably the gap is somewhere between "what you have been lead to believe" and "the actual truth"

The richest guy alive trying to paint lower echelons as "greedy".

Care to expand on that? One ***speculation*** I've seen on another forum, is that some disgruntled weenie started the lawsuit.
(if the majority of shareholders agree on something, that's it. THAT is how corporations work)
Actually, yes you do.
Middle management. They do tend to be greedy. (empire building)
BTW, has anyone read just what the targets were he had to meet, and how much money that made the company, increased the stock, whatever?
(I have not. full disclosure)
Who do you think they're emulating in order to reach their position?

Moody old mage.
Oh they most probably are. But Musk giving lessons about greed and casting himself as a meritorious defender of other people's money ? That's just comically hypocrital.
He had to meet? The guy is a part timer who spends a lot of time hanging out with felons and posting nonsense on social media. Any of that $56 billion that is government subsidies or handouts should be returned per DOGE

I have never seen less sympathy for a murdered man.
I have none to give for this man. The nation has very little to give for this man.
It's almost like sympathy for our fellow man works against being sad he's dead, in this instance.

But wait, there's more!What a pillock he is.
Elon Musk revealed as sole funder of RBG Pac that claimed Trump and Ginsburg were aligned
Musk bolstered Pac with $20.5m ahead of election while late supreme court justice’s family denounced it as ‘appalling’

He had to meet. (meaning the company had to). he was posting and saying silly things long before he got invovled with Trump.
I'm not gonna get into the arguement about those felony convictions of trump here (this thread).
lol. (we used to say that about fords or <insert fav vehicle to make fun of here>
Middle management isn't trying to emulate anyone. They want more stuff, more people more money etc. It's a feedback loop.
Too many of them are morons that need to be booted out and given an idiot stick.
(how many layers of middle management do you actually need. upper management too btw)
Unless the guy was physically working in the Tesla office 5 days a week he is a slacker that does not deserve any pay much less billions. At least that's what the DOGE stance is.
