    “He did it too” is on no law book as a credible defense anywhere. It’s basically just self incrimination.

    Remember, you’re arguing for the Rule of Law, which states that no entity is above the law and it applies equally to all. In an ideal world, Musk wouldn’t be getting away with this. But in an ideal world, CAH will also face scrutiny. As they should. Though I agree they are only asking for a “plan to vote” and it’s vague enough to probably be fine.

      i know it’s not a defense. the point is it would set a precedence, so Musk could be sued/prosecuted for it too.

        So again, in your prefered version of this, Elon AND Cards Against Humanity are punished for breaking the law.

        I’m advocating for a version of events where CAH doesn’t face penalties because they don’t commit a crime themselves. Want to advocate? Sure. Pay everyone who writes to their senator/congressperson about what Elon is doing and demand action. Something that’s legal. Get the same point across while not dragging the bar ever lower.

        James Cameron can only dive so low to retrieve it again.

          no, it’s not my “preferred” version, nor am i advocating for anything. i am simply discussing the possible outcomes.

          i guarantee you CAH had a team of lawyers approve this before going public. some of y’all are overthinking it.

            Lol

            They have a team of lawyers

            Y’all are over thinking it

            In the same breadth you dismiss everyone else as not lawyers and not knowing and then claim you know better.

            Are you 12? 😂

              the point is THEY know better than any of us. Work on your reading comprehension. and fuck you and your shitty attitude.
