Didn’t he tell them to “go fuck themselves?” 🤔

Enthusiasticwhale OP ,

He did and how he’s suprised I guess

Sho ,

Poor Mr. Perfume he must REALLY need the money…

Gambit? Masterful. Car door? Slammed. Dick? Fully inside car door. 12-D chess? Played. Same time tomorrow.

Sho ,

Look at Mr. “Multple dicks to slam into car doors” over here 😆

SkyezOpen ,

I was gonna say doors probably won’t chop a dick completely off, but if it’s a cyber truck all bets are off.

Sho ,

I had almost forgotten about that “finger chop” feature on them…those videos are nightmare fuel

Ah yes I remember the Xmen known as dick, he had such a big…personality that sometimes he can be kind of a wanker🤣🤣

So he’s the head of the conspiracy and should be the one charged?

Did he just sue himself?

Being a lawyer and working for someone like Musk must be both rewarding and embarrassing at the same time.

rewarding

lucrative, yes... rewarding? maybe not so much.

Tja ,

You never “what if’ed” at your job? I don’t think the lawyers complain too much…

thefartographer ,

Rewarding because you can accurately gauge exactly how much smarter you are than the world’s richest man?

Or rewarding because you get to burden the legal system with all those hypotheticals that the one troll in your law classes kept asking and your professors kept claiming “no judge would ever entertain that idea”?

captainlezbian ,

I assumed rewarding as in another house and stable work

Mandatory product purchasing. The ultimate capitalist’s wet dream…

Just like vehicle insurance.

Technically, buying a vehicle isn’t mandatory

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I present to you Exhibit A.

Tell that to Earth!

CosmicTurtle0 ,

Imagine the prosecuting attorney in the opening scene of Better Call Saul, coming into the court room with a tape of this in his hand.

Without saying a word, the tv cart is pushed into the court room and he slowly pushed the tape in.

The entire court room stays silent as the video is played, with the lone exception of Musk who is tweeting about how unfair the judge is.

captainlezbian ,

Ah so the full Alex Jones courtroom experience

sar1n ,

Goddamn he looks so punchable

Man who told advertisers to go fuck themselves sues advertisers for not spending money on his platform.

I’m sure this will be sure to bring in tons of advertising dollars to Der Xitter.

bender223 ,

I ain’t no genius, but maybe the advertisers are busy fucking themselves as per Elon’s suggestion. 🤷‍♂️

mercano ,

Musk is suing under antitrust laws. I’m not sure they work that way. Antitrust laws prevent producers from consolidating and exploiting consumers. However, when it comes to advertising placements, the companies are consumers, not producers, and I don’t think a consumer advocacy group (which the World Federation of Advertisers functions as in this regard) is illegal.

I don’t know, I am not a lawyer, but it seems like Twitter is grasping at straws here.

jumperalex ,

I know right? I mean if they colluded to lower advertising prices through collective agreement that would be something. Especially if they had an internal forcing mechanism to ensure compliance.

But um, they set out voluntary guidelines they suggested everyone follow to protect each member’s own best interests, and decided to spend zero dollars to buy nothing, which is a far far cry from trying to spend zero dollars to buy something.

What an ultra-maroon.

Let’s also note that at any other time, Musk would be railing against antitrust laws.

RestrictedAccount ,

The interesting thing is that it means he is desperate enough to try something that makes him look this stupid

Anybody with Elon Musk centric stocks needs to sell them quickly

masterofn001 ,

Advertisers have given me no moneys either.

Send cheque plz.

I’d really love to see fElon get what he wants here. One paid ad from all the companies.

“Elon fucks kids”

ChadCMulligan ,

Can I chip in on this…?

ISOmorph ,

Send cheque plz

I read that in the voice of Mona-Lisa Saperstein from Parks and Rec

yeah damnit, I waste my personal time having to watch the damn things. Advertisers should be paying us for the privilege of our attention.

Suing former advertisers may possibly not be the best way to get other advertisers to come to your platform.

cmrn ,

So let me get this straight…

  1. buy a platform
  2. ruin it and push away advertisers
  3. tell them you don’t need them and they should go fuck themselves
  4. sue them for leaving

…?

NotMyOldRedditName ,

Didn’t he sue another company that did tests on the site to see if ads would show up beside hateful content, which showed they would, and that case ended up being dismissed?

SkavarSharraddas ,

What a silly weirdo.

Enthusiasticwhale OP ,

His “Free Speech Absolutionism” is just… Freedom from any consequences for what you say… Which is also a really stupid thought process…
