    The outlet notes that Brody is being represented by attorney Mark Bankston, who represented two of the Sandy Hook parents who successfully sued Alex Jones for fueling the claim that the school shooting was a false flag.

    Good. Hope he gets everything he deserves.

      Goddamn I love seeing Bankston’s name come up on these sorts of stories. Here’s hoping this trial goes like the last one did.

      Musk is a Russian agent posing as a Neo-Nazi.

        Musk did help Russia by cutting off Starlink from some Ukrainian sea drones in a bid to ‘prevent a nuclear war.’

    Good, it’s definitely harmful and irresponsible the way Musk will glom onto any ridiculous, unsupported right wing conspiracy post.

      Might not be a walk in the park. That cave diver that was called a ‘pedo guy’ by Musk lost his trial, despite the facts seemingly being in his favour (although his lawyer was Lyn Wood, so that probably didn’t help).

      This guy is using the lawyer that won against Alex Jones, so let’s hope it goes the same way.

      Unfortunately Musk won that case, so he probably learned the wrong lesson from that.

        WTF he won???
        I thought it ended in some kind of settlement. I hope the fight did not financially damage the diver too much, still sucks.

    Elon Musk is a fascist-loving manchild.

    I have no idea what’s happening here because the article doesn’t actually cite any sources but Im pretty sure you can’t be sued for defamation for re-xitting a news article.

      He’s Jewish and it wasn’t him at the event in the first place.

        Not going to lie; I misread the title and thought Musk was suing someone that called him a Neo Nazi. I had meant to imply that Musk was the facist.
