He’s gone crazy from power. People like that are dangerous.
“The lawsuit isn’t the only place where executives have offered a pessimistic assessment of X’s business. The company’s owner Elon Musk reportedly told employees in January that “user growth is stagnant, revenue is unimpressive, and we’re barely breaking even.””
Just fire some people, that’ll drive profits up.
i don’t understand how it’s a boycott or how is illegal or unfair
It’s not a boycott, neither is it illegal. He’s literally just being a crybaby and believes that anybody not pandering to his business model should be forced by the courts to give him money regardless.
Criminal contempt of business model
It’s a Good Thing Elon doesn’t Own the DOJ!
YouTube 10 years ago: we’re becoming as straight-edged as possible to keep advertisers around
Twitter now: Fuck you (wait we needed you)
If suing companies for not advertising on your platform made any sense, porn sites could sue almost the whole economy.
How long until Tesla sues me for buying a Toyota?
Currently scheduled for 18th of March.
Oh yes Nestle, the infamously lefty liberals.
Last year he told everybody to go fuck themselves. Now he’s crying. If there is somebody who needs to be deported, is it his narcistic, selfish, apartheid’s ass.
wtf is musk even expecting to gain here
The legal system is essentially purchased at this point (remember everyone gloating about how the Onion bought InfoWars?)
There’s a chance he might find a toadie judge and get something out of this. Or at least be obnoxious enough that others might preemptively comply with something.
What does any screaming toddler in the toy aisle expect to gain?
Laws introduced to prevent people from boycotting israeli companies allow Musk to sueanyone who won’t advertise on X for political reasons.
And no, the first amendment doesn’t protect speech for private companies.
He’ll win.
No he won’t.
I mean he’s being bukaked with publicity… So if that’s his thing?
What I’d like to know, assuming there is still logic and sanity in this world (please it’s all I have don’t argue) how would a company from this list have avoided this in the first place? Like once you start advertising with a partner like X then you may never stop? Seriously I’m not sure. So maybe just never risk doing business with anyone because you’ll be sued into staying in business with them forever? I’m certain it’s right in their contracts how and when they can leave, is that in dispute?
“I ruined my business by supporting Nazis and it’s all your fault!”
Musk is not just supporting Nazis, he is a flaming Nazi himself.
Yes but this all happened before he even went full mask off.
Yes it absolutely did, but the platform was not run responsibly, and contained hate speech. Musk even claimed the Nazi content besides adverts was a rare fluke.
Which is obvious today is not true. What Musk may really want, is to normalize Nazi content.
“I’m in a government that condones - if not encourages - businesses from rejecting customers based on their own ideology, but don’t do it to me!”
Ah, evil vs evil eats popcorn
What about capital markets and the freedom to choose where to spend your money? Elmo can go get pegged by Trump.
They can peg eachother. “Ass to ass!”
))<>((
forever
i wounder if he will actually get a court to order that every person in the world owes him money.
cause that seems to be what he is working towards.
Let me ask you this: how many ads have you run on Twitter? Does that strike you as fair?
No, the case is that advertisers used an Ad Advisory Group called GARM, that monitored advertising platforms on their quality, like being family friendly and keeping things within the law. When they advised their customers that they could no longer vouch for X, many advertisers followed their guidance.
Obviously they are in their right to do so, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with the procedures that were followed, like it was NOT cartel or any other kind of shenanigans by the users of that service.
But Musk being a paranoid malignant narcissistic crybaby, saw it as a conspiracy directed against him personally. And the guy has more money than sense, so he is making a huge issue out of it.
Luckily USA is a nation of law, so he won’t get anywhere with that, just like he wouldn’t get away with calling people pedophiles for no other reason than to offend them. Thank god USA isn’t corrupt as hell, so we can trust the courts to do the right thing. /s
On the other hand we also have EU warning against advertising on X:

… and Musk supporting anti-EU parties.
If he does, they will lose ALL advertising
