Suing your former customers, now there’s a way to make people want to do business with you!
The beatings will continue until ad revenue improves.
I assume these companies being sued follow standard procedure, which is that everything freezes the moment a lawsuit starts. It’s pretty much a guarantee that these companies halt spending, let alone even communicate, with X
It’s also common to re-evaluate business deals after major acquisitions. Musk buying Twitter dramatically changes the business perception, and that’s what matters to advertisers. Twitter can’t even begin to try and claim it doesn’t, just look at Musk’s tweets leading into it and directly after. The entire purpose of his purchase was to fundamentally change it, he said so himself.
Such a free speech absolutist. Wanting the government to compel companies to pay to speak on the private platform that he owns. Some real Trickle down free speech
Oh, you misheard - he doesn’t like “free speech”, he likes “freeze peach” - just a big fan of Super Mario. And Nazis - don’t forget how much he loves Nazis
So saying “Fuck you” to them and then suing? What a buffoon.
In related news, Musk filed separate suits against the sororities from his university for an “illegal boycott” against dating him.
Strange stance to take after telling them he doesn’t need them and they can “go fuck themselves” https://youtu.be/U_M_uvDChJQ?si=GJxx2MyScmSDCtcW
World Federation of Advertisers
There are no good guys in this fight.
Musk posted about the lawsuit on X on Tuesday, saying “now it is war” after two years of being nice and “getting nothing but empty words.”
Stop sounding like my mom with Borderline Personality Disorder.
In November 2023, about a year after Musk bought the company, a number of advertisers began fleeing X over concerns about their ads showing up next to pro-Nazi content and hate speech on the site in general, with Musk inflaming tensions with his own posts endorsing an antisemitic conspiracy theory.
Musk later said those fleeing advertisers were engaging in “blackmail” and, using a profanity, essentially told them to go away.
And they did. Now fuck off.
Ah yes, suing over a boycott. Totally legal and smart. Why hasn’t anyone ever done that before.
They have!
Obviously it never worked though.
- Ruin a popular site at a blistering pace driving away users.
- Criticize advertisers for also leaving and tell them to leave if they don’t like step 1.
- Sue said advertisers for leaving.
- No one wants to advertise with you.

Did I miss anything?
Gonna sue my whole neighborhood for not buying my homemade brownies.
the lawsuit stemmed in part from evidence uncovered by the U.S. House Judiciary Committee
Real evidence, or another Gym Jordan special?
Has a GOP-controlled congressional committee uncovered any actual evidence in the past 20 years or so?
I take notice of whenever they have a new hearing or investigative issue, and each one I can remember has always been “let’s go on a fishing expedition to find dirt or at least impugn the character of a political rival” followed a year later by a Friday-night quiet disbanding of the committee with no findings, or a report being issued that says nothing of importance whatsoever.
The investigations never produce anything but sound bites for Fox News
I think that’s why they’re big mad at Harris. They don’t have time to spin up a worthless investigation about her and Walz.
He get this idea from his parents writing a letter to his school demanding other kids to be friends with him?
Don’t be silly.
Parents writing that letter, while misguided, is still them trying to protect their child, and so has an element of selflessness, and their hearts are in the right place.
This is like him PERSONALLY threatening people for not being friends with him, which is way creepier and unsettling.
This will surely bring them back! /s
Elon you can’t get anywhere by whining. Pick yourself up by the bootstraps and get to work. Sheesh. Youngsters these days are so lazy.
Not fair, he’s already made billions from (everybody else’s) hard labor!
The company formerly known as Twitter
Love it. Not the point but it is still funny to me that Elon renamed the company and the world revolted.
