I was just listening to a John Stewart podcast and he was riffing along and dropped, "Yeah, I've been locked out of the networks, so I'm going to start selling my own TV. If you don't buy my TV, that's because you hate democracy and don't care about free speech. No, it doesn't work like that."

Now Elon says he's taking legal action against the kid (for tweeting publicly-available information).

"Legal action is being taken against Sweeney & organizations who supported harm to my family."
