Among the ads appearing on these accounts included those for MLB, the NFL, and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

They are a political organization and make no secret of that.

Everything you claim is a nefarious conspiracy is on their website.
If you think there's no evidence Twitter was cozying up to neo-Nazis, that would make it a strange coincidence that Musk himself turned out to be an anti-Semite...
Did you read what you posted? All they did was look for neo-Nazi pages and hit "refresh" a few times. That's exactly what Media Matters said in the first place.
Anybody remember when all the worst people on twitter were so excited to be able to say the N word after Musk bought it, so much so that people were asking if they could yet?
Musk has the right to hold whatever views he wants. He has the right to enforce said views via whatever mechanisms in Twitter, because it's his. Advertisers in turn have the right to leave if they don't want to be associated with Twitter anymore because of that.
He can sue whoever he wants, his cases will be dead on arrival.
A stated reason for his buying it in the first place was he felt there was a liberal bent to it's moderation and he wanted to change that, and what he failed to recognize or refused to comprehend is that the views of bigots are in fact often filtered from social media not because of a liberal bias in the programmers, moderators, or even leadership, but because bigotry is fucking disgusting and all social media besides Mastadon is beholden to advertisers for the lions share of it's revenue, and advertisers (usually) don't want to be associated with bigotry. And just like any product, when you want to make a social media site that's like other social media but conservative (read: bigoted and unmoderated) you can still get advertisers, but it's InfoWars-type adverts: the gun nut coffee people, dick pills, mobile games and financial scams like reverse mortgages, which are worth significantly less money.
