Judge sends strong message about Elon Musk's attacks on disinformation experts

Elon Musk Free Speech Disinformation
Looks like the “Tool” Elon Musk got his hand slapped for attacking disinformation experts. Go figure, “Mr. I’m so into Free Speech” doesn’t like to be called out when the speech is proven to be wrong. Dumbass.
