So musk is suing advertisers because he says they are boycotting his self interest platform. Is this anything like musk spending 280 million for false info to block opposing party from winning?
Why is a self-proclaimed free speech absolutist complaining about individuals and companies exercising free speech?
Oh, right. I keep forgetting. He thinks hate speech is free speech, that free speech is hate speech, and can't be bothered to learn the value of silence.
He thinks he's so tough but he's just ANOTHER CEO who has people with guns follow him around to protect him. But what if one of them decided to make history?
Advertisers = We don't align with what X has become so we are not going to use your platform which is within our rights. Musk = 😭😭😭😭😭😭 bad people upset me
Let me get this straight-- Leon is suing advertisers for boycotting X so that advertisers will encourage their clients to advertise on X? Did he not read Carnegie's book?
Musk is counting on his Trump connection to cause a settlement. Wall Street wants nothing to do with his Twitter debt anymore. Between Musk & Heritage Foundation Trump is being turned into a tool.
Remember the more important news is that Elon forced his way into government payment systems that he personally receives contracts money through, as well as every person's personal data.
Musk’s case had no merit. As publicly held entities, these corporations had fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders to avoid damaging their brands by advertising on platforms like X.
So now advertisers can't decide which media they can choose to advertise on? What next consumers will be forced to buy products they don't want to consume?
The Mad Hatter wondered why he should have invited rabbit to tea before he knew rabbit existed. The MadQueen crowed because you should have foresight a thirsty rabbit would arrive and thus the invitation should have been in the mail. The Cheshire Cat received his invitation and you never sent it.
So because companies have the moral integrity to not advertise with a #nazi he wants to sue them. Oh, #Elon you and your pal #Trump are just scrounging around suing people as another way to get coins in your pocket. Then you’ll brag about how much you have but fail to mention it was from #grift.
I just hope that all the advertisers see this through to the end and in court. Rather than doing what so many people do. Which is sain washing Musk and Mrs Trump's 🐂 sh**and circus.
How is this not just straight up capitalism/freedom of speech for these companies? If people don't care for the service, they won't use it or advertise on it.
The power of the free market Is in our favor regarding Trump, musk, and all the rest. Just stop buying stuff for a while. Long enough to put them out of business. But nothing but good, gas and other bare necessities.
What a stupid cunt. But now with Trump and his corrupt judge lackeys behind him he may have a chance of winning. If that is the case it will be time for every single country in the world to avoid business with America, Trump, SpaceX, Boring Cunts, X, and all these assholes. No one likes corruption.
Thanks for that man. Never heard of him but I just watched him on youtube. Pretty funny stuff. I used to love Kevin Bloody Wilson. Saw him live in Alaska once (I think......)
Muskrat, president pro tem is going to get the US involved in this lawsuit! Like tRump, why should he spend his money when the US Treasury is for the taking! This is exactly WHY he should NOT be in charge of ANY government agency! Mixing his business and government position for PERSONAL GAIN!
Can someone explain to me how this lawsuit has any merit like I'm 5 years old? Freedom of speech also means the freedom not to speak, especially via advertising.
One would hope, but I wouldn't be surprised if they settle, which strengthens his ability to bully more companies moving forward.
If you step back & think about this, it is an absolutely INSANE situation, but I have not seen any of our useless media cover this story & how entitled and crazy it is.
No kidding! I can't think of any of the major media outlets that are worth listening to. Maybe Reuters or one of the news aggregators, but probably none of the actual TV channels or news papers. Smaller ones maybe, but with our consolidated media, most of them are owned by the big players.
I thought the UK finally got rid of their right wing government? But I guess the mostly Murddoch controlled media is what it is - propaganda for conservatives.
US fall from grace is a Big win for China as they are racking up more international allies to consolidate UN votes. 10% is a small price to pay in the grander scheme.
Why would they settle when there's no possible basis for a lawsuit? It seems to me that those companies could put in a complaint for frivolous use of government resources if Musk even tried. Making an enemy of a company like Lego seems like a really stupid idea given their global popularity.
Maybe, but Lego have the ability to shape the opinions of billions of people for generations to come, whereas Xitter and Tesla will be lucky to make it to Q4 2026. Committing economic suicide to get a few million dollars to extend an already moribund company, what's the point?
Imagine Elon makes all federal aid payments dependant on an X account. He integrates that with Visa as a "central banking system", but blocks certain companies from using it. Then he applies tariffs to certain exports of certain countries...
I can imagine it, but it won't happen. Like, in a million years. Musk has Ketamine psychosis and can barely tie his own shoelaces without some kind of dissociated stream of drivel entering his mind and leaving his mouth. He'll be bored of working in government in a few weeks and will move on.
Actually, given that Lego is Danish (none here seems to have noted that yet!), I foresee many a new Lego set, depicting the 3 Stooges; The Muskovite, the Orange Turd & the Clay Oven Roast (aka JFK).
‘Look at me, and listen good. When it comes down to it, your business - in fact any business with a future - is going to want to keep up its payments to my operation. Understand?
Let that sink in.’
nestle is a horrible company to support anyways, fyi. Just a quick google of nestle controversy will pull up child slavery, water rights issues, making babies dependent on their infant formula... -I could go on
I don't know, but I'm guessing breach of contract (somehow).
Many lawsuits in the US are vexatious in which the plaintiff wants an out of court settlement pitched a bit less than the cost to the defendant of fighting the case in court.
Personally I think Musk is just being a prick because he can.
"advertisers are forgoing a valuable opportunity to purchase low-priced advertising inventory on a platform with brand safety that meets or exceeds industry standards.” There's nothing "safe" or "valuable" about associating/supporting fcking Nazis
This companies have every right to reflect the wichis of their customers and their moral stands ,x is allowing right wing hate propaganda in their organization,a disturbing thread in a social media under a individua with Fasista tendensist.
I clearly remember when he send a message IN pUBLIC to ALL companie that did not want to advertise on Xitter platform: “ F&CK YOU!” Now he wants them back? It seems like an abuzive relationship to me!

All in the same year.
Oh, right. I keep forgetting. He thinks hate speech is free speech, that free speech is hate speech, and can't be bothered to learn the value of silence.
I guess they didn't think it through.
But that's not the point.
Fear will make them comply.

That's Communism
You set it ablaze, Elon.
You have only yourself to blame, fool.
That’s what Elon is claiming
We most boycott all of these fascist oligarchs.
Buys Twitter: everyone leaves.

Someone should make that for X :)

It's HIS absolute freedom to do anything to anybody.

It's not just Tesla turning into Nazi memorabilia.
"I would like what he is smoking." nobody ever said back then.
When in fact, advertising on twitter, tells us.
They are either desperate or are kissing the butts of Musk and Trump. No thanks.
