I finished the 11th circuit ruling.
You don't often see such a high profile case handled with such blatant scorn - especially towards the former president who appointed 2 of the 3 judges.
The 11th circuit slams Cannon for one her biggest misdeeds - repeatedly trying to supply arguments that Trump's lawyers had failed to make. When they didn't justify their case, she tried to do it for them, a ludicrous abuse of process.

Trump: "I only meant for Ye to come, I wouldn't ever invite a Nazi to my home"
Ye: "let me tell you what I like about this Hitler guy"
Oh lordy, the 11th circuit ruling is just DRIPPING with contempt for Cannon and Trump and Trump's lawyers.

Again, *after* today's antisemitic hate fest by West, Musk rushed to engage with West on Twitter, gushing praise for a West tweet hyping his claims to be a great Christian and praising West's moral values.
Meanwhile Elon just rushed in to gush praise over West's latest "Jesus is king" tweet.
The holdout county in PA already gave in once faced with court.
The judge in Arizona has ordered Cochise county to certify its results by the end of business today.

@ChristopherNoyesRoberts Musk's Mars lunacy makes a lot more sense after seeing him try to run Twitter.
Clearly his ultimate need is to replace society altogether with a new version designed and absolutely controlled by himself. Hence the "new world on Mars under ME!!!" thing.
Sensational timing from Billboard. Just sensational. (Bearing in mind that West's bigoted rants have already been going on for weeks even before today's escalation.)
