‘There Will Be Blood’: Elon Is Getting Ready For ‘Hardcore’ Legal Battle

OPINION | This article contains commentary that reflects the author's opinion.

As soon as Elon Musk announced that he believes in free speech and intends to vote Republican in the next election, liberals predictably launched nasty attacks against him.

A former attendant alleged that Musk propositioned her for sex while she was giving him a massage. According to a “friend” of the accuser, Musk “whipped out his penis” and that “it was erect” during the alleged incident. Musk responded, “But I have a challenge to this liar who claims their friend saw me ‘exposed’ – describe just one thing, anything at all (scars, tattoos, …) that isn’t known by the public.”

“She won’t be able to do so, because it never happened,” Musk said in a tweet.

Musk also revealed that the “friend” who gave the story Business Insider is “a far left activist/actress in LA with a major political axe to grind.”

Musk says he is preparing for a legal showdown and he’s putting together a “hardcore” litigation team. He is actively looking for applicants.

“Tesla is building a hardcore litigation department where we directly initiate & execute lawsuits. The team will report directly to me,” Musk wrote. “Please send 3 to 5 bullet points describing evidence of exceptional ability: [email protected].”

Musk says his “commitment” means they “will never seek victory in a just case against us, even if we will probably win” and “will never surrender/settle an unjust case against us, even if we will probably lose.”

“Please include links to cases you have tried,” Musk said, adding that they are “looking for hardcore streetfighters, not white-shoe lawyers like Perkins or Cooley who thrive on corruption.”

“There will be blood,” he concluded.

Musk previously warned that political attacks like this would happen in advance. “Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold,” Musk warned.

Musk, who is the richest person in the world, says he historically has always voted Democrat because he mostly viewed Democrats as the “kindness party.” Now he says they’ve become the “party of division and hate. So I can no longer support them and will vote Republican.”

Just days later, Business Insider has decided to publish a dubious hit piece on him containing sexual harassment allegations.

A former SpaceX flight attendant, whose friend apparently went to Business Insider, provided hearsay information, which the outlet published.

According to the friend, Elon allegedly proposed to buy her friend a horse in exchange for sexual favors. This has led to the scandal being called “Elongate” and triggered a new meme:

“If there’s ever a scandal against me, please call it Elongate,” Musk wrote to Twitter in March of 2021.

Musk is fighting back against the attack. “The attacks against me should be viewed through a political lens – this is their standard (despicable) playbook – but nothing will deter me from fighting for a good future and your right to free speech,” Musk responded.

“They began brewing attacks of all kinds as soon as the Twitter acquisition was announced,” Musk explained.

“In my 30 year career, including the entire MeToo era, there’s nothing to report, but, as soon as I say I intend to restore free speech to Twitter & vote Republican, suddenly there is,” he added.

Musk says he intends to challenge this person over the facts:

“Finally, we get to use Elongate as scandal name. It’s kinda perfect,” Musk concluded, while retweeting his old message about using “Elongate”:
