The United States of America has become a kleptocracy.

WSJ says Twitter is telling advertisers to spend more with them “or else” — “They are afraid of the legal/political ramifications of not doing so.”

Do y’all get it yet?

It’s all just a protection racket now. With some bribes thrown in, like those big investment companies buying millions worth of Trump stock.

Good thing Carter sold that peanut farm. 🙄

We'll need a list so we can stop supporting them. The only thing that matters to any of them is money. Let's stop giving it to them.

No. X has become State media.

I’d ally up and take him to court. Trump can’t pardon civil or state crimes.

The free market! Except now you have to pay Elon Musk or face "political consequences." Cool, cool, totally normal.

A list of advertisers on X would be a great reference of companies to boycott

Chicken shits and yellow bellied cowards. That would be enough for me not to buy their products.

Let's put it in more understandable terms: The USA is run by a mob.

Once you give in to the bully, you forever give in to the bully. Just say no or else you're f'd forever.

I can see the reasoning behind spending a minimal amount advertising on X; because it's cheaper than litigation costs. However, X would lose every case and the probably counter suits if these advertisers would challenge them. So, not quite cowardly, but definitely the path of least resistance.

No, it's cowardly. Also bad sales. Thi k of the positive publicity at this point of telling Musk to go fuck himself and then winning in court. THAT moves product.
