Elon is so concerned about freedom of speech!
Now he doesn't think that activist groups should be able to express their opinions on Twitter's direction under Musk!
I guess he believes he is the one to decide what constitutes freedom of speech and who gets to practice it! LMAO

SHUT ER DOWN, its a waste of space.

Corporations against free speech? Or corporations who were making a lot off of snowflakes and the snowflakes have left the platform?

I'm guessing the latter, surely it's a business decision.

 

[Hawk_82]

Good opportunity for the woke corporations see that the public doesn't care about their wokeness.

 

[WDSMHAWK]

Shocked advertisers are pulling out of a platform that is run by a rich weirdo that is overly sensitive.

"However, one important aspect of Musk’s acquisition of Twitter has received less attention: The acquisition has the potential to significantly harm national security. Not only has Musk brought on a number of investors to help finance the deal, including entities with links to China, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia (see Table 1), but one of his other companies, Tesla, is increasingly dependent on the Chinese market and the goodwill of the Chinese government."

Or it’s a good opportunity for MAGAs to see that corporations are “woke” because it’s good business.

 

[SCHawkFan]

Ultimately, advertisers will go where they believe spending will have the greatest return. If that is Twitter, they will be back.

Yeah, I used a link as large as possible so you could easily click on it! Sorry for The inconvenience!

 

[Huey Grey]

So Musk overpayed and then lost tons of revenue on his new business venture. He learned well from Master Trump.

Did you call the Right snowflakes when they left after 2020?

 

[Huey Grey]

Whoever used to own Twitter played this like a master class of capitalism. First they kicked Turd Boy 1 off their platform. And then they got Turd Boy 2 to over pay by billions of dollars to buy the platform to get the first Turd Boy back.

 

[onlyTheObvious]

Good. Will anybody be upset with less ads?

 

[Uniformed_ReRe]

It might have worked if Elon handled the acquisition like Bezos did for the Washington Post, where he keeps a professional distance. There’s no reason he couldn’t have hired someone with experience to be the CEO, like the Google Guys did. But Elon needs attention.

 

[Uniformed_ReRe]

I doubt there will be fewer ads. It's just, instead of McDonalds and Coca-Cola, you'll be seeing ads for overseas brides and sugardaddy/sugarbaby hookup sites.

Don’t be a hack. There are too many of them on the board already.

This.

And is the My Pillow guy banned? He could help fill the void....

 

[anon_b29nm7v7dwp6r]

This is a shame….hope it goes belly up and Elon loses every cent he puts into it

Finally - some relevant advertising!!

 

[LuciousBDragon]

The relevant powers that be here are also lobbying hard for TikTok to be banned in the US. If that happens, there will be a market opportunity that Twitter could capitalize on quickly. Twitter already has their own TikTok style IP (a la Vine) that was severely underutilized. If those wheels get cranking then it is a net-new revenue stream that is virtually 100% profit. Elon knows they will lose some folks but overall, the potential of the Twitter platform to crank up as revenue can easily overcome that.

Most major brands also utilize Twittter as part of their CX strategy. They’re not going to quit that.

Reducing the fat and increasing revenue streams is an age-old way to start getting things on track. Wall Street so far seems to have confidence. The outrage will quiet eventually and Twitter’s financials will start to look better. I’m not sure investors are going to pony up cash just so the liberal journalism and comms majors of the world can have their own playground again.

i have to admit that i was compelled to fact check that gif by repeating those searches
unbelievable what i found

Many of us are blocking every single company who puts ads on there. As they come across our TL.

Elon is CEO of 3 businesses.

Conclusion: being a CEO is clearly not a full-time job.

Like I'd posted in the other thread:

Now we know who's leaving Twitter.

Yeah… the pro gun regulations pro abortion rights NC is a total hardline republican who lacks @Moral s

hell, moral has even said I’m left of him on guns. He’s an excellent poster because he doesn’t blindly promote a candidate. He actually thinks for himself, and everyone on here could learn a lot from him.

Impersonation has always been an disallowed on Twitter. That hasn’t changed.

Are you saying people should be allowed to impersonate others? Parody accounts have always been allowed.

 

[Phenomenally Frantastic]

In other news, Apple, Amazon, State Farm, Disney, Sony, McDonald’s, and Microsoft still advertise on Twitter. I wonder why that is?

What is with this place putting words in other people's mouths when all some of us want to do is shit post?

I'm not saying anything. I'm shit posting.
