No problem. There's a whole lot of stupid crap in what Musk put out in his complaint, but those are the main issues.
I think the one Musk is relying on to support him is when he says that Media Matters used some algorithm or something to make it look like those ads placed on pro-Nazi posts would come up in someone's feed more often than they really would. I don't really understand it.
But if you're a company that doesn't want to be associated with pro-Nazism, having just one ad show up next to pro-Nazi content is one too many.
Now, if Media Matters did something legitimately fraudulent or illegal, sure, go after them hard. But that doesn't seem to be the case.
It's not illegal for media watchdog groups to gather information or for them to inform companies of what they find and it's not illegal for companies to pull ads from something they don't want to be associated with their product. And that's what Musk is complaining about the loudest.
