Advertisers leaving Elon's X in droves after affirming Anti-Semitic content.

At read the endless Walter Isaacson bio of Musk, and he is really disturbed, often in a really unlikable way. Countless people warned him to leave Twitter the fuck alone, but he is way too much of an asshole to comply.

He's a confusing man.

Being discussed here:

Never been better!

R2 He's a racist megalomaniac. Nothing confusing at all. His new pushback against for the "from the river to the sea" tweeters is an attempt to do some damage control.

I would hate to be his new CEO highered to dump up advertising. But then I heard she was a big time Repug, so not sorry.

Cunt Musk attempting damage control. Fucking hypocrite.

He really has gone off the deep end since he moved to Texas. Is there something in the water?

There are millions of far-Right Stormfront-type accounts on there and have been for years and NOW they’ve finally decided to pull out? Not a good look.

[quote]I am sure this will be great for X stock value.

You do realize how Musk obtained control of Twitter, right?

He has suddenly realized that the revenue loss for Twitter or X or whatever the fuck new brand name he wants to use, won't be just from one or two businesses, it is going to be MASSIVE. So he is back pedaling furiously with some bullshit platitudes, in a bogus virtual signalling attempt to control the damage he made.

I wish he would just kill himself.

R8

Only his illegal dumping in our rivers. We haaaate him here.

At some point r9, you got to know when to fold em. Elon has just finally pushed them to their limit. They realize his behavior and what he did to that platform is not going away.

Anti-Israel content is everywhere at the moment. Is X different from the rest?

R15, are you equating "anti-Israel content" with the blatant anti-Semitic conspiracy theories that Elon M is amplifying by his own words (let alone by allowing it on X)?

Cannot wait for Apartheid Clyde to croak.

What’s "from the river to the sea" tweeters, precious? What’s "from the river to the sea" tweeters?

Mama got highered by Mr. Meyer!

Yeah, who do they think they’re fooling? They’ll be back as soon as the bad PR dies down.

I've been saying for years now that Tesla, Space-X etc. need to kick him off their boards if they want to survive.

R20, And there is the rub, it's not going to die down.

Elon does something stupid like this every 3-4 months or so. It's not going to get better.

He's not the only show in town. In fact, he's really a minor player with all the other social media options out there. Advertiser have a big pie to chose from and it's a buyers market. Companies that size spend money on advertising on dozens and dozens of different sources. X is just one of a long list they chose to run ads on. If they drop one or two those platforms, it's no big deal to them. However, It IS A BIG DEAL FOR X to lose that account.

At least the SpaceX Starship launch went well today.

Oh, no. Wait....

The sick fuck is deeply autistic, and legitimately mentally ill.

It's good news for him that his preferred brand of fascism isn't in power today, or else he would've been hauled off to the camps for medical study, hard labor, and eventual gassing.

Instead, he wastes billions on stuff like this and farts out more poorly-named kids than an illiterate NBA player.

We keep hearing reports of TwitterX’s imminent death, but it keeps on chugging along, like the Abe Vigoda of social media.

[quote]Anti-Israel content is everywhere at the moment. Is X different from the rest?

Ok, so there is something specifically about X. We now know that X was targeted by Media Matters. According to Musk, MM set up an alternate account and then manipulated things to get big companies' ads to appear next to white supremacist material so they could get screenshots to use to get advertisers to drop X.

There's bad stuff on the major platforms, like Facebook and TikTok. I didn't understand before why all of sudden X was singled out.

"Thermonuclear" He's howling like a stuck pig. As he should.

Why did Matthew Perry die instead of this garbage bag addict? I hope the fentanyl fairy pays him a visit soon.

[QUOTE]According to Musk, MM set up an alternate account and then manipulated things to get big companies' ads to appear next to white supremacist material so they could get screenshots to use to get advertisers to drop X.

How on earth can on "manipulate" ad placement? Regardless, I don't see what difference it makes where an ad is placed. If it's on a site, and a company advertisers on that site, then it appears that the company pays money to a white supremacist site. No way to spin it.

I love how Musk blames his advertiser problems on Media Matters taking screenshots racist tweets instead of the racist tweets themselves.

*of racist tweets

[quote]We now know that X was targeted by Media Matters. According to Musk,

If Musk is the only one saying this, we don't "know" it at all.

Even if Musk wanted to tackle the racist posts, he’s laid off most of the staff, so there probably aren’t enough people to even begin to tackle this.

Yet he has enough staff to censor pro-Palestinian comments, R33?

[quote] How on earth can on "manipulate" ad placement?

It's well established that Elmo has peculiar, even fantasial convictions about how the internet works.

Can’t he just disappear behind the scenes again? He’s got such a repellent personality. I don’t want exposure to this noxious ego.

Elon doesn't seem too smart. He moved to a country with free speech and became a citizen. What he doesn't seem to understand is that free speech means you can say things against the American gov't. without repercussions, that's all it means. He also doesn't seem to understand that even though he thinks he can say anything, there are always consequences to ones actions.

[quote]We now know that X was targeted by Media Matters. According to Musk,

We now "know".

"Targeted" by Media Matters.

LOL.

[quote] LOL

LoL! :)

[quote]Can’t he just disappear behind the scenes again? He’s got such a repellent personality.

Don’t forget ugly as sin

R23

Don’t get me started on the SpaceX disregard of critical bird and ocelot habitat in south TX.

He's wise, though, to avoid the dangers of excessive tanning.

JESUS CHRIST was that really necessary R42? None of us will be able to get erections for weeks now.

As for that fat slug Musk - he's really flushed Twitter down the shitter now. It just needs to die and be replaced asap.

Maybe he'll do everyone a favor and go into "Rehab" for a few months- you know for "Image Rehabilitation".

The Silence from his fat mouth would be Glorious!

It wouldn't repair anything R44.

He’s as ugly as sin, and socially retarded.

It's amazing what his fan boys say. "I have a right to speak and Musk is the only one defending that" Completely clueless that no one has silenced them like they imagine, or that most social media is NOT public space, it's privately owned and business can do what they want.

There are two streams on Twitter/X: Following and For You. Following shows posts from whom you follow plus a few ads (VERY few now).

For You shows some of the people you follow, some ads, but also other posts that X thinks you should see. Those pasts since about midnight are all rabid right-wing conspiracy posts. "Antifa staged Jan. 6th with the paid-off cops!" and the like. For You is FLOODED with that crap.

THAT is why he bought Twitter, to affect the elections.

R47

And he isn’t defending their right to speak; the US Constitution is.

I have a theory. I believe in my bones he is on Putin's payroll. I think he paid way too much for Twitter and he was already courting financial difficulties, and he was bailed out with Russian money.

Yeah,,R47, and what those fanboys don’t seem to grasp is that people have a right not to listen to them, or to support their racist, homophobic, misogynistic views.

makes sense to me

Even Cheech and Chong appear to have left the building.

He's on Saudi's payroll

Why would the richest person in the world, possessing obscene amounts of money he'll never be able to spend, get himself beholden to Russians or Saudis? Not saying it's not happening, but if it is, it's a sad commentary on his grotesque greed and megalomania.

I think they give him loans. He is greedy, haven't you noticed? He is also mentally immature, seems to have some mental issues, etc.

So, let me summarize, Elon practically accused Jewish billionaires of running the modern ideological narrative and to prove him wrong they decided to ruin him by impeding any corporation to work with him anymore.

Girlies, I am confused, it looks like he was right.

In his fevered mind, R57, and yours.

R58 but it is written in the article, it is not me claiming that, I said I was confused

He's an asshole, get rid of him.

[QUOTE]Following shows posts from whom you follow plus a few ads (VERY few now).

If you use Firefox with an ad blocker you won't see any ads.

Twitter is better than ever. It now supports freedom of speech, and that pisses leftists off.

It's a matter of public record that the Saudis are bankrolling his X nonsense.

R63, I think Vegas is booking odds over how long he has to go until X is bankrupt. The over/under is 6 months.

R62 = Roseanne

[quote] I believe in my bones he is on Putin's payroll.

Honey, get some help. Elon doesn’t need money.

Elon is simply a narcissist.

R66 Elon never uses his own money to bankroll anything if he can help it. He would sell his soul to Putin or the Saudis if they payed for everything.

R62, yeah. It’s a great place if you’re a really angry, hateful person looking to wallow in feces.

R69, you described r62 perfectly.

How long before Yaccarino jumps ship?

[quote] Elon never uses his own money to bankroll anything if he can help it. He would sell his soul to Putin or the Saudis if they payed for everything

His ex girlfriend Grimes/Clare Boucher said in an interview he’s an incredible cheapskate. She was laughing about it, but it didn’t sound all that funny.

It's funny 'cause it's true.

[quote] Northern district of Texas sure is an interesting choice of venue for a corporation based in Nevada and a D.C. non profit

[quote] Brody filed a defamation lawsuit last month against Musk, the owner of X, formerly known as Twitter. The suit seeks damages in excess of $1 million. Brody says he wants the billionaire to apologize and retract the false claims about him.

R77, that's cool. I am glad some people aren't afraid to fight back

The suit is laughable. They assert that X has safeguards against fringe content, and yet claim MM was able to subscribe to "manipulate" their algorithms by following known fringe accounts. Which is it?

Dnt worry. Elon said today that he’s not antisemitic. So that’s that.

Keep in mind a lot of the advertisers “boycotted” Fox, then went right back to advertising on there as soon as the criticism died down. And…these advertisers have said they are “pausing” their advertisements on X.

Yaccarino isn’t jumping ship of her own accord (though there have been rumors since her disastrous Code conference appearance that Elon will kick her aside shortly).

She’s a Trumper and, accordingly, doesn’t seem to have any moral or ethical compass.

I give the life of this lawsuit one Scaramucci.

If you want to donate to Media Matters, here's a link:

There is no lawsuit

Yaccarino is a typical Trumpeter, I hope she does stay until the ship finally sinks along with her career. Imaging trying to find another CEO job after the who industry tells you it's time to leave and you ignore their advice and continue to be the captain of the ship.

Both the AGs of Texas and Missouri.

[quote] What we are witnessing here is not just authoritarianism (and rank hypocrisy on free speech from the GOP and from Musk) but also… oligarchy.

[quote] The billionaire snaps his fingers and the rightwing politicians immediately go to work for him!

MMFA has a rich doner list. They'll be able to bankroll any and all court cases. There's no need to weep for them.

How many kids does he have so far? I think it's 11.

It's hard to tell R89, when you name some of your kids after computer generated pass codes, it's easy for them to get lost in the matrix.

How old is little X Æ A-Xii theses days? When he has a kid will he name it X Æ A-Xii 2.0?

[quote]MMFA has a rich doner list.

Rich donor list? Um NOPE. 1 or 2 million is basiclly broke by today's media funding standards. Not when you have people on the right like Alex Jones making over 1 billion dollars off his wacko right wing talk show.

Re R87:

According to Kara Swisher, people who know Linda have encouraged her to leave but she’s going down with the ship.

She even brought in her son to handle outreach to Republican advertisers.

Elon never made any anti-Semitic comments. This is so dumb. The whole anti Musk propaganda campaign after he bought Twitter, when overnight he became NEW HITLER, is over the top stupid and deranged. People are such fucking sheep

Elon is losing it:

"There is a large graveyard filled with my enemies"

[quote]She even brought in her son to handle outreach to Republican advertisers.

What does he look like?

That bloated slug thinks he can actually fight someone? With a sword? OMG, I’m gonna piss myself laughing at this pathetic wannabe.

All the money he has and he lacks an ounce of self awareness, or even a fucking mirror.

He should shut his ugly flap, crawl back under a rock and pray everyone forgets what a vile, pathetic little dicked poseur he is.

Betty Bowers on Elon:

I’m not sure exactly what this means or where it leads to, but it somehow seems relevant.

Pizza, pizza, pizza!

He’s trying to revive that conspiracy to distract from the fact the GQP is getting their saggy asses handed to them in this off year election cycle, their bloated orange god is on trial and losing, and their dirty money supply is drying up like Madge’s vadge.

Equal opportunity hater

[quote] Elon Musk in response to advertisers like Disney pulling their ads on Twitter/X:

[quote] “Don’t advertise…go fuck yourself. Go. Fuck. Yourself. Is that clear?“

^.

He needs to step away from the ketamine.

But he’s got no one to speak truth to him. Linda just carries his bag and tells him how fab he is.

Creatina!

He’s such an useless, ugly fucker.

And fat, too, r107. Don’t forget dat and saggy with moobs.

In case you have low blood pressure and need to get it raised in 82minutes

Linda was *in the audience* when he was saying this. She ought to have had a heart attack.

And others have noted that he's high AF and wearing lipstick

Linda put out a statement supporting his comments. She’s a total fruit loop.

A great read for those who missed it.

Former colleagues dish on her.

[quote] Many of the fake accounts identified by Meta this week also had nearly identical accounts on X, where some of them regularly retweeted Musk’s posts.

[quote] Those accounts remain active on X. A message seeking comment from the platform was not returned.

Linda is a TOOL! I hope she goes down with the X ship just like everyone who ties themselves to Trump.
