It’s a Good Thing Elon doesn’t Own the DOJ!
YouTube 10 years ago: we’re becoming as straight-edged as possible to keep advertisers around
Twitter now: Fuck you (wait we needed you)
Yes, sue literally every company in America, nothing could possibly go wrong.
Lego is based in Denmark and nestle is in Switzerland.
Wait those cunts are Swiss?
I suddenly like the Swiss a tiny bit less.
They’re only neutral in world wars
they just be war criming out here with no war. the devil doesn’t need to partake in human wars
He’s gone crazy from power. People like that are dangerous.
P.S. He acts like some Russian government official tied to organised crime, who now think he owns this country and can do anything in there.
All people are like that. Our brains aren’t built to handle that kind of obscene wealth and power. It would break anyone, just as overindulging in any unhealthy activity.
The fix is to not let anyone accumulate that level of wealth.
Money are just an instrument for power. These are narcissists/psychopaths/power abusers/sociopaths/gangsters/criminals
K. Power still corrupts. Always has.
I’m kind of alright with them accumulating some level of wealth, if the result is that they get a little trophy, a little island, and all their money redistributed. Like, congrats you won, now fuck off and let someone else win too.
That’s what we just tried (over the past century), when we gave an inch they took the whole god damn country. I don’t think the compromise approach will ever work.
Like Tom from MySpace. Dude sold it off and now lives a carefree life pursuing photography

What an ugly fuck Elon is. Ewwww
i wounder if he will actually get a court to order that every person in the world owes him money.
cause that seems to be what he is working towards.
Let me ask you this: how many ads have you run on Twitter? Does that strike you as fair?
No, the case is that advertisers used an Ad Advisory Group called GARM, that monitored advertising platforms on their quality, like being family friendly and keeping things within the law. When they advised their customers that they could no longer vouch for X, many advertisers followed their guidance.
Obviously they are in their right to do so, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with the procedures that were followed, like it was NOT cartel or any other kind of shenanigans by the users of that service.
But Musk being a paranoid malignant narcissistic crybaby, saw it as a conspiracy directed against him personally. And the guy has more money than sense, so he is making a huge issue out of it.
Luckily USA is a nation of law, so he won’t get anywhere with that, just like he wouldn’t get away with calling people pedophiles for no other reason than to offend them. Thank god USA isn’t corrupt as hell, so we can trust the courts to do the right thing. /s
On the other hand we also have EU warning against advertising on X:
https://www.euronews.com/next/2023/11/17/eu-commission-advises-services-to-stop-advertising-on-elon-musks-xThe eu commission warning was officially only aimed at their internal services, it wasn’t a mandate that all organisations within the eu should stop advertising on x. Though it wouldn’t surprise me if it comes to a total ban in the eu, X is already under investigation for disinformation.
it wasn’t a mandate
Yes it was “just” a warning for EU offices, But that’s still pretty remarkable, and this warning is widely publicly known, and I bet companies take notice.
But the point was also, that it’s not just GARM that had problems with how things are at Xitter, it’s official from EU that it’s not desirable to use Xitter anymore, based on much the same reasons GARM stated. For theirrecommendationwarning to avoid advertising on Xitter.So it’s evidence that GARM didn’t just make it up to harm Xitter. The same conclusions were reached elsewhere.
Though it wouldn’t surprise me if it comes to a total ban in the eu, X is already under investigation for disinformation.
We should absolutely do that, and introduce a special Tesla Tariff of 200%, due to unfair competition because the Tesla CEO is part of the government, and it is a blatantly conflict of interest for Musk to be there and be CEO of several companies at the same time.
Jimmy Carter sold his beloved Peanut Farm exactly to avoid a conflict of interest, but the American politicians, the public and the media today don’t give a shit about corruption. But it’s still illegal in EU.
EU warning against advertising on X
… and Musk supporting anti-EU parties.
How dare your company not advertise on my company cause I’m a racist wanna be nazi twat.
All the defense has to do is play the clip of him openly telling advertisers not to advertise and he’ll get laughed out of court.
Unfortunately he sued in the North District of Texas, which is a maga kangaroo court
Most politicians are bought for less than a million. The guy has hundreds of billions. I imagine he can buy a few judges along the way.
Possibly, but none of those bought judges matter unless it ends up in their specific court. That’s why they’ve been trying to install as many of their own as possible.
Oh yes Nestle, the infamously lefty liberals.
What about capital markets and the freedom to choose where to spend your money? Elmo can go get pegged by Trump.
They can peg eachother. “Ass to ass!”
))<>((
forever
And no lube.
“The lawsuit isn’t the only place where executives have offered a pessimistic assessment of X’s business. The company’s owner Elon Musk reportedly told employees in January that “user growth is stagnant, revenue is unimpressive, and we’re barely breaking even.””
“We’re barely breaking even” mate, you’re supposedly in the business of online services since the late 90s, you should know that they’re generally “barely breaking even”
I wasn’t aware Twitter was even breaking even in thd first place
Just fire some people, that’ll drive profits up.
Hey Elmo, you told the advertisers to “go fuck yourself” in no uncertain terms, even repeating yourself for dramatic effect.
Hey I’ve got an idea Elmo. Go fuck yourself.

Laws introduced to prevent people from boycotting israeli companies allow Musk to sueanyone who won’t advertise on X for political reasons.
And no, the first amendment doesn’t protect speech for private companies.
He’ll win.
No he won’t.
I give him about… 0% chance, with some pretty tight error bars.
The only way I see Musk eking out a win is if somehow those advertisers violated the contract terms by ending their business relationship, which would be incredibly surprising.
What does any screaming toddler in the toy aisle expect to gain?
The legal system is essentially purchased at this point (remember everyone gloating about how the Onion bought InfoWars?)
There’s a chance he might find a toadie judge and get something out of this. Or at least be obnoxious enough that others might preemptively comply with something.
I mean he’s being bukaked with publicity… So if that’s his thing?
What I’d like to know, assuming there is still logic and sanity in this world (please it’s all I have don’t argue) how would a company from this list have avoided this in the first place? Like once you start advertising with a partner like X then you may never stop? Seriously I’m not sure. So maybe just never risk doing business with anyone because you’ll be sued into staying in business with them forever? I’m certain it’s right in their contracts how and when they can leave, is that in dispute?

Feb 5 @ your downtown.
The irony of using one fascist billionaires platform to organize against another fascist billionaire and his platform, but also the government.
Organizing on Facebook? Wtaf.
Can you screenshot that or something. I can’t see it without the Facebook account I refuse to have.
I can’t see it either. I’m not on Facebook. Someone found more details by googling it.
facebook
That’s a no from me dawg.
