Tesla investor Ross Gerber mocked Elon Musk after the tech billionaire's social media platform, X, formerly Twitter, lost a lawsuit filed against a nonprofit organization, Center for Countering Digital Hate, or CCDH.
What Happened: Gerber, who has often been critical of Musk, mocked the Tesla CEO and X owner for his attempt to "silence free speech."
This is after X had its lawsuit against CCDH thrown out, with U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer remarking that this case is about "punishing the defendants for their speech."
Gerber's mockery of Musk was on similar lines, with an additional jibe about Musk being a self-proclaimed "free speech absolutist."
"Free speech absolutist loses case to silence free speech."
