This is a person who ordered all the pieces of factory equipment that were colored fluorescent yellow for safety reasons to instead be painted black because “that color hurts my eyes.” The guy has a bad brain.
Lol at libs shilling for large corporations that don't fEeL sAfE posting on Twitter
What posts on this thread are shilling for large corporations?
This is a problem made by Musk. He admits that it was a big mistake to endorse the anti-semetic tweet, but is outraged that companies don't want to pay him money to have their ads associated with tweets like that and Musk's not infrequent endorsement of conspiracy crap.
A CBS News article lists more companies among the 200 to boycott Twitter as a result of his comments, and notes that the White House has taken a stand on the incident as well:
"Multiple advertisers — including Comcast, IBM, Warner Bros., the European Commission and the movie studio Lionsgate — have also said they are pulling spending on X (formerly known as Twitter), citing reports of rising hate speech, including a report that some ads are appearing next to Nazi-related content. A Lionsgate spokesperson told CBS News in a statement Friday that the company "has suspended advertising on X because of Elon Musk's recent antisemitic tweets." A spokesperson for Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS News, also confirmed it has suspended advertising on X. The White House also issued a statement, calling Musk's comment "unacceptable." "We condemn this abhorrent promotion of antisemitic and racist hate in the strongest terms, which runs against our core values as Americans," a White House spokesman said on Friday."

I believe in free speech. Unless I disagree with what is said, then I believe it should not be legal.
I believe in a free market economy where businesses can do and say what they want in pursuit of profit. The market will decide. Unless the business refuses to do business with me or some company that has views I like. In that case, they should be shut down
I believe the elitist rich are evil unless they spout conspiracy theories and racism I agree with. Then they become a godlike idol to me.
"What I care about is the reality of goodness, not the perception of it. And what I see all over the place is people who care about LOOKING good, while DOING evil. Fuck them."
If a guy acts like a jerk, I probably won’t like him.
If he acts like a jerk, then gets really defiant about being a jerk, I’ll probably like him.
If he acts like a jerk, gets really defiant about being a jerk, and is specifically defiant toward people I dislike, I’ll definitely like him, no matter whose views or actions are actually more contemptible in the current dispute.

Corporations don't care what their ads appear "next to." Instagram and tiktok are full of antisemitic content and you don't see any advertisers flee. Instagram is reported to have child porn. I don't recall an advertiser boycott. NBC platforms antisemites all day on TV, no boycott.
Corporations only cave to the threat of bad press from places like the NYT, and the NYT/nepotist Sulzbergers don't like Elon because he isn't on board the global lib agenda. If you believe the woe is me, we can't advertise on twitter because of "antisemitism" you're a shill
Interesting to weigh his current remarks with the fact that he visited Israel Monday and met with Netanyahu. His actions seemed to be conciliatory towards Israel and its plight.

Does anybody have the list of companies which are blackmailing X?
Not a complete list, but from the NY Times:
"About 200 big advertisers, including Disney, Apple and IBM, stopped spending on X after Mr. Musk agreed with a post that accused Jewish communities of pushing “hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.” If the freeze continues, it could end up costing the company up to $75 million this quarter, according to internal documents seen by The New York Times."
$25million per month??? Is that it?
Twitter was losing $120 million per month prior to acquisition.
Only 3 companies stopped advertising? I mean, I don’t know why Disney was advertising on X in the first place. Do any users of X watch the new Disney movies?
Hopefully other companies will step up to compensate for that shortfall. Probably a good time to get free advertising for companies who have a minority of wokes as customers. The problem is that women control 85% of the spending in the US and I believe that the vast majority of women are woke. It unfortunately does not leave many advertisers for Elon. What products do men buy “on their own” AND does not have many women buyers?
Ultra luxury sports cars (Ferrari…)
Some very specific alcoholic beverages (high alcohol content…)
Some cigarettes
Boats, Yachts
Some motorcycles…
It’s a pretty short list I think (please feel free to add to this list)
Not enough to survive
Which is why you can understand that companies who depend on advertising to survive simply follow woke ideology.
