If all the advertisers have to pull out all of the social media channels, it would be a blessing. The channels would collapse, people would look up from their phones again, and maybe we could have a more civil discourse in this country- everywhere really!

Elon Musk is the mold for the next super villain character in the next Bond movie.

When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

In times when everything is a lie, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. He is spot on. The elephant in the room.

I mean... it's kinda true, but not at all the exclusive to them or present in each one. No ethnicity or religion is a monolith.

It’s laughable to think these individuals think Elon didn’t know they would do this eventually….

Musk is a weirdo. A dangerous one though. I would not underestimate his range.

Do Jews/Israelis allow unlimited migration into Israel from other nations? Why not?

attack the person not the merit of the argument. thats how logical people think

I used to be a fervent Musk supporter. He’s a genius and an innovator - but this sours the deal.

Rich people like Musk are ungodly. Psalms 73:12. Matthew 5:17-18.

You cant say anything what so ever about a jew

Pinterest and Twitter have the same number of users. And twitters numbers are probably a lie

[SkepticalChris]

Somehow after he lost 23 billion dollars on Twitter, and it's value is still sinking, I doubt he hasn't been the wealthiest man in the world, in a while.

[sarasmith]

Elon musk has the right to say whatever he wants.

[kahanasam]

The racist hateful comments he allows are sickening. There’s a big difference between freedom of speech and preaching HATE!

[BurgundyKRO]

Elon. Get off the internet. It's not for you.

[OmarBenjumea]

These businesses are pulling advertisements because they are losing revenue and customers.

Elon Musk is not a "convenient battle to fight". Usually these companies don't react to his tweets. Now they have. He is no victim here. A comment or a like him hugely amplifies the original tweet, in this case the comment agreed with the original tweet.
