NBC News “dystopia beat” reporter Ben Collins caught a screenshot of this just in case the perpetrators tried to delete it. Even worse, new Twitter owner Elon Musk responded with laughing emoji, drawing more attention to the libelous tweet.
Thank you, Elon, for drawing more attention to this good thread by replying with the crying emoji of some guy doin’ a libel. pic.twitter.com/F1IblQ1Ngv

That's not a crying emoji. That's a "laughing so hard it brings one to tears" emoji.

That's a laughing emoji, everyone is laughing at you. 🤣

Is there another lawsuit in Musk’s future? We’ll have to wait and see if Collins takes legal action.
