elon musk to advertisers - eff off

advertisers *eff off and leaves twitter*

elon - you cant do that thats illegal

[CharleyOlivesss]

Poor Lil Elon nobody likes him even though he said he doesn't need them but now he's being a whinny Lil baby boo hoo

[matthewbaynham]

Any business would be crazy to advertise on Twitter (or now X).

[WoRstVoRtx]

They should play the clip of him telling advertisers to fvck off in court

I think there's a real problem of TRUST. I remember having phone conversations that seemed to have an echo - or unusual extra sounds - and thinking that my phone was being tapped. I remember knowing how that would sound, in general, if I made that known to more than a few people - basically, like paranoia. I remember when many people in America also had the same sense about phone tapping, and I remember when that was considered a "conspiracy theory". I also remember when it came out that the NSA was tapping the phones of regular Americans and when they admitted to doing so. Frankly, after that, I take the accusation of "conspiracy theorist" with a sizeable chunk of salt. That seems to be the standard epithet applied to discredit someone, even though it has been proven several times to be inaccurately applied.

So companies are required by law to advertise on x?

[prajwas]

The "Public square" where you have to pay.
Who died n made Elon Musk' cesspool the only source of a platform to advertise?

[killman]

Nothing says "what we do is super legitimate and definitely not illegal at all" like shutting down the moment you get your first legal challenge.

[facehugger]

The lefts idea of putting up a fantastic fight .

[kevinwaters]

Oh, Aisha is saddened by Musk defending his business interests. Let’s not question the agenda of social media “moderation”.

[JohnMcLovin-xqqg]

What a beta move, absolutely spineless.

[Will-pj]

If you advertise on X - I will shop elsewhere

[sleepydragonzarinthal]

garm doesn't have the resources? lmao a consortium based on the interests of global advertisers can't handle one lippy billionaire? bull

[michalgxxxxxxxi]

Musk should take the responsibility for all the harm done by sharing fake news

[FelonMusk]

Shutting down doesnt do much. The boycott can still carry on but musk cant sue any further.
