It was David vs Goliath. Musk had decided to use his unlimited power and money to silence an organization dedicated to safeguarding human rights and civil liberties. But it struck me that it could also be an opportunity. How often does an organization like ours get the chance to expose and beat in court a narcissistic, thin-skinned billionaire who thinks he can intimidate his critics? You’ve been through all of it with us. I wanted to personally thank you for your unwavering support. Working with our amazing attorney, Roberta Kaplan, and her team, we developed a robust legal defense to shatter Musk’s meritless lawsuit. And in March, a judge in California saw through Musk’s bullying tactics and dismissed the case. It was a seismic win for independent researchers all over the world.
