Premise 1: Fighting the enemy of a person, group, or thing can be a way of protecting that person, group, or thing.

Premise 2: Meta is an enemy of free speech.

Conclusion 1: Fighting Meta can be a way to protect free speech. ( P1 + P2 => C1 )

Premise 3: When a specific action can be used as a way of creating a specific outcome, we can say that that action is consistent with having the goal of creating that outcome.

Conclusion 2: Fighting Meta is consistent with having the goal of protecting free speech. ( C1 + P3 => C2 )

Premise 4: Initiating a lawsuit against X is a way of fighting X.

Conclusion 3: Anyone engaged in a lawsuit with Meta is undertaking actions consistent with having the goal o protecting free speech. ( C2 + P4 => C3 )

Premise 5: Elon Musk is engaged in a lawsuit with Meta.

Conclusion 4: Elon Musk is behaving in a way consistent with having the goal of protecting free speech. ( C3 + P5 => C4 )

QED

Now, I you can take this argument down by knocking out any of the premises. It relies on all five premises. You can also disagree with the logical conclusions.

I would be curious to know what you think is the weakest of those premises.
