These people at Twitter has no problem with other peoples' lives being affected by their actions: banning, shaming, misdirection. Amazing that when the tables turn they can't understand the hypocrisy of their cries.

When Biden shut down the Keystone Pipeline the message from Twitter was "Find a new job"... Oh the irony....

[jerrypeal]

Need a list of companies pausing or pulling adds .

[MrAllan]

Businesses that pull their ads are showing how woke and far left they are. I hope their will be a list of companies that do, so we can boycott.

[PaulAliceJ]

Twitter employees can find a different job just like they said Keystone Pipeline workers could.

I'll buy an ad on Twitter! A Twitter ad a day keeps the libs away?

[garycombs]

Maybe Twitter employees shouldn’t have been posting videos of “what they did at work”, or rather should I say, posting videos showing how they weren’t working during working hours.

[czarcastic]

WOW Twitter had 10 Chiefs watching one worker. Elon just cutting the fat.

[ninjagirl]

If they are upset over layoff I think they should look in the mirror. They all have laid people off at some point.

[nobodyshome]

If the advertisers go, the staff goes as well. Makes sense.
No point in paying people if there isn't any money coming in.

Employees were partying
Elon did good job

Twatter employees one year ago: “If you want free speech, build your own platform!”
Elon to Twatter employees today: “You’re fired! Don’t like it? Learn to code.”

There is no such thing as a job for life. Musk has invested a bucket load of hard earned cash into Twitter and has earned the right to run it his way. The advertisers that choose to withdraw.. good luck. My money is on this extraordinary business man being successful with Twitter.

[kenw]

He can fire anyone in his company. It's his company now and he's the CEO.

[johnmuir]

I greatly admire Elon Musk for his instance on the right of free speech. He knows this is going to cost him billions of dollars and many friends. But the friends he loses are not the kind of people anyone should want to be around. Greed and socialism, maintained by lies and hatred are dispicable qualities.

[Nightrain]

I want Elon to specify the companies so we can boycott them.

[kabitasahoo]

Overpaying has become a problem. Managing expenses will stabilize any company during rough times. Everything will be fine.

[ShortCrypticTales]

I guess companies liked to advertise to bots rather then real people with real wallets

[alderaan]

A lot of people want lifetime jobs, but a lot of people also have a poor work ethic, garbage attitude, entitlement complex, and no skill or education. Those people need to get real, start at the bottom, be uncomfortable, and make that decision to either level up or settle. This is coming from a single mom who balanced all of it for 20 years active duty and is about to retire. If people are uncomfortable, they need to use it as motivation to move up in life. No one can help you better than yourself

Love Elon! Great job thinning out the herd.
