The Elon Musk Twitter shitshow

[lucas80]

Wile E. Coyote just sued several of his major advertisers.

That’s the kind of paradigm breaking, outside of the box thinking that America needs right now.

Elon Musk declares 'war' on advertisers with fresh lawsuit alleging 'massive boycott' on X

X accused the Global Alliance for Responsible Media of helping to coordinate a pause in advertising after Musk bought Twitter in 2022.

So, not free speech?

Wonderboy wants his cake and...

It is less than a year since Elon Musk told advertisers who were shunning his social media site, X, that they could take their business elsewhere permanently. In fact, he encouraged them to do so. “Don’t advertise,” he said, amid a backlash over his endorsement of an antisemitic tweet. “If someone’s going to try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money, go fvck yourself.”

The instruction had the virtue of clarity. Everybody knew where they stood. Advertisers who took the view that X has become a poisonous sewer under Musk’s ownership – or even just those who merely regarded the site as the wrong place to promote soap and suchlike – could seek other venues. And X would thrive or fail without them.


Now Musk has had a change of heart. X has launched a lawsuit in Texas claiming it is the victim of an “illegal boycott” by advertisers. Unilever and Mars, the consumer goods groups, Danish windfarm operator Ørsted, and American healthcare group CVS Health are the targets, alongside a body called the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (Garm). The companies, supposedly, withheld “billions of dollars in advertising revenue” from X in a malicious conspiracy that violated US antitrust law.

Elon Musk is being ridiculous. Companies are free to choose where to advertise

There really isn’t a mystery about why X’s revenues may be falling

He’s such an insecure tool. It’s no wonder he’s gone MAGA.

I have to admit, ever since Elon took over, I have an extra 100 followers and they are literally all beautiful women.

Elon is no longer hiding his roots as a racist and fascist.

I think when people say things like this they are simply projecting.

I think “a good portion of the population” have heard of Elon Musk but don’t really know much about him at all.

So who is right?

 

[Phenomenally Frantastic]

Elon is no longer hiding his roots as a racist and fascist.

His father was a member of the anti-apartheid party of South Africa.

How do you square your comments with that fact?

I suppose you believe these companies will just return to advertising on Twitter?

We’ll see.

He’s a South African who uses drugs frequently. This isn’t always a good combination for someone owning a social media company, especially if they want to hide their supremacist tendencies.

Elon Musk told advertisers to “Go F— Yourself.” The advertisers listened and now Elon is suing them over alleged ‘massive advertiser boycott’ after Twitter takeover."

Musk interviewing Trump next week. Should be riveting!

Let's us know when the coward from the commie party does an interview. Should be a joke.

WOW, last time I checked I had 15. Now I have 75 and it's bunch of onlyfans women I assume. Only reason I don't delete my account is because Barack Obama is one of my 15 real followers.

lol, yeah, that is what Elon stands for. After 'Kung Fu' practice though.

Or the account broke rules of evading a suspension or ban. Liberals tend to leave out inconvenient details.

What rules did they break?

Remember kids, a half truth is a full lie. One must remember this when dealing with liberals.

Well, if you want to debate semantics "a good portion of the population" can mean a lot of different things. It can also mean that both are true. "A good portion of the population" does not mean the same thing as "most of the population".

I’ve seen some dumb stuff written by humans, but that is right up there. There is no way a rationale human being with a functioning brain thinks this.

If you ever click on the Twitter handle for these people PF quotes there is always some sort of Musk fanboy identifier. It’s very creepy.

I think there are many PFs out there in the Musk cult. I’m sure he has a Twitter account that others repost on some other random message board.
