    When it’s directed at them (Conservatives) it’s an economic conspiracy and a violation of antitrust law (?), but when it’s directed at brands/companies they don’t like, like Bud Light/Anheuser-Busch, well that’s perfectly acceptable. While it must suck ass to do legal work for Musk, it must be nice getting paid to work on BS legal cases and coming up with pie-in-the-sky rationales.
