Suing your former customers, now there’s a way to make people want to do business with you!

ReallyActuallyFrankenstein ,

The beatings will continue until ad revenue improves.

MsPenguinette ,

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.

Free market for thee but not for me!

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

P4ulin_Kbana ,

thanks, i dont like how you put “Super Mario” and “Nazis” in the same sentence.

Enkrod ,

It’sa me! Mussolini!

That’s better in a less worse way.

So saying “Fuck you” to them and then suing? What a buffoon.

InternetUser2012 ,

Looking forward to watching his meltdown alongside Dementia Don the racist rapist with 34 felonies.

thisbenzingring ,

Would that be the same Dementia Don the racist rapist with 34 felonies that has won the Republican Party primary for President three times in a row and is pushing for Project 2025 that was basically written by his former White House staff to be his platform when he’s President but he has never heard of them? Same guy?

InternetUser2012 ,

Yup, same weirdo that claims to be a christian too, even though he paid a porn star for sex while his pregnant wife was at home. Another core value that I’m sure speaks to cult45. You know them as the mouthbreathers that wear the red hat dunce caps that are made in china.

thisbenzingring ,

My boss has one of those hats. I asked him where it was made but he won’t show me the inside.

InternetUser2012 ,

It’s China. lol

SplashJackson ,

Plenty of Christians use prozzies, I think even Big J visited one or two so he could, ahem, wash their feet

In related news, Musk filed separate suits against the sororities from his university for an “illegal boycott” against dating him.

Wasn’t there a text with this image?

Something about bodies being buried, and asking the reader to pray to not add to it?

Just maximum levels of wannabe edgy cringe, and he looks like he’s over 20.

billiam0202 ,

Nah, he can’t be over 20 in that pic because he still has hair.

thisbenzingring ,

My dude, i hate to be the one to say it but, it’s a wig

I too would like to sue the advertisers for boycotting my Breaking Bad erotic fan fiction page. That includes you Musk. I expect Twitter to start sending the checks next month. Or I guess I’ll see you in court.

SaharaMaleikuhm ,

Damn, I can’t afford a legal battle. Sending my check right now. Could you uhh provide me with a link to your website strictly for b2b purposes of course

INHALE_VEGETABLES ,

Link?

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.

Etterra ,

Ah yes, suing over a boycott. Totally legal and smart. Why hasn’t anyone ever done that before.

INHALE_VEGETABLES ,

Definitely going to look like a safe bet for future advertising opportunities.

Valmond ,

They have!

Obviously it never worked though.

vegeta OP ,

the lawsuit stemmed in part from evidence uncovered by the U.S. House Judiciary Committee

Real evidence, or another Gym Jordan special?

ReallyActuallyFrankenstein ,

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.

Hikermick ,

The investigations never produce anything but sound bites for Fox News

TexasDrunk ,

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.

collapse_already ,
  1. Ruin a popular site at a blistering pace driving away users.
  2. Criticize advertisers for also leaving and tell them to leave if they don’t like step 1.
  3. Sue said advertisers for leaving.
  4. No one wants to advertise with you.
  5. Surprise pikachu.jpg

Did I miss anything?

Imgonnatrythis ,

He get this idea from his parents writing a letter to his school demanding other kids to be friends with him?

mycodesucks ,
@mycodesucks@lemmy.world avatar

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.

Gonna sue my whole neighborhood for not buying my homemade brownies.
