Can someone explain to me how you can sue over a business choosing to not spend their advertising dollars on a particular service? I mean Elon specifically told his customers to “fuck off” and now he’s suing them?!? I just don’t understand these petulant little man children being so litigious when they get their feefees hurt.
Easy, you pack courts with shills, you eliminate government oversight, and then you do whatever you want.
I hate this timeline so much.
The object of the lawsuit is to get these deep pocketed corporations to settle for millions. If the companies aren’t able to get the suits dismissed, they will settle. They don’t want to get on the wrong side of the current administration and it’s less costly than a years long legal battle.
Hey Elmo, you told the advertisers to “go fuck yourself” in no uncertain terms, even repeating yourself for dramatic effect.
Hey I’ve got an idea Elmo. Go fuck yourself.
Yes, sue literally every company in America, nothing could possibly go wrong.
How dare your company not advertise on my company cause I’m a racist wanna be nazi twat.
Can you please tag this elon, so that our spam filters work?
It’s not practical to censor “x”
Yeah I know. It’s how I got (well forced) to see this story as well. I mean this douchebag is so rage inducing how could you NOT filter him.
What about censoring " x ". That might help filter more posts.
Yeah I had this thought as well. How I would love to be able to create filters based on RegExs.
Something like: (?<!\w)X(?!\w) I think that might work.
This post would require "x " though.
Sounds like it’s time for people to learn regex.
Yeah, like the creator of my app for one.
Aye!
“^X .*$”
Yeah like x = y, not generic at all 😅Also it won’t censor “bla bla x.”

The irony of using one fascist billionaires platform to organize against another fascist billionaire and his platform, but also the government.
Are boycotts illegal? In this case I doubt there was an organized attempt, just some companies making individual business decisions. But even if Twitter can prove there was a boycott, is there a law against that?
Are boycotts illegal?
It depends on the boycott.
Boycotts are absolutely legal, you are completely entitled to decide who you don’t want to do business with. However, illegality is no longer required for the justice system to be weaponized against you, and President Musk just wants to make an example to others who might not want to do business with an actual Nazi.
Surely it’s up to the advertisers to choose where who they pay money to use?
The law doesn’t matter. With Musk’s position in the government this will basically end up as extortion: Settle or I’ll make things difficult for you.
a certain amount of business collusion can be considered a cartel (other kind) and essentially monopolistic… but that’s usually price fixing… i don’t see how they could be compelled to advertise on a nazi platform.
also, i respect these companies much more than any company that would, and consider this lawsuit great advertising
but then again, the right trump appointed federal judge makes meaning pointless in law…
Can Elon and Yaccarino just die already
You know you’ve fucked up when even Nestlé doesn’t want to work with you…
Obligatory Fuck Nesté
When people go we may use child slaves in our supply chain, steal and ruin water supplies, and bribe medical professionals to get discourage breastfeeding, but you’re too fucked up for us to work with then you know you’ve fucked up.
To be clear, its not that twitter is too fucked up for nestle to work with, they absolutely would if they thought it would benefit them. Its that twitter has become so toxic that they see advertising there as a net negative.
Nothing says you believe in free market competition more, than suing a another private business, trying to force them to give you money
“Free market” was nothing but a propaganda term…
That has always been the essence of the “Free Market”, for thee but not for me.
In a sane world, this lawsuit would be laughed out of court.
It’s harder to laugh it out of court when the plaintiff is in the government himself.
There’s gotta be serious repercussions for this insane narcissist-autocratic behaviour. USA you’re not just embarrassing, but a liability.
Throwing a temper tantrum because no-one wants to play with you. What a child!
Maybe asking advertisers to ‘go fuck yourselves’ isn’t such a bright idea, fuckwit.
Hey, when you’re rich you can grab them by the balls.
*corpussy
You just know that’s going to be exhibit 1 for the defense.
Fucking fascist Nazi man baby doesn’t like when advertisers do what he tells them, and then continues to do so when he realizes that was a bad idea.
when advertisers do what he tells them
They have actually … themselves?
;-)
Reminds me of the guy who was accused by his gf of impregnating her, then refusing to support the child. Went through everything: the lawyers, friends and family who questioned his manhood and unwilling ess to take responsibility for the child, harassment, threats from her friends, etc. finally ended up in court in front of a judge, where he calmly produced a letter from a doctor that had performed a vasectomy on him well before the child could possibly have been conceived, took the win and walked out.
I would pay to watch this rich spoilt man child have to eat his literal words. I’m sure it’s screenshotted all over the internet, but his ego won’t let him see the truth.
You can also have friends if you just pay mercenaries to kidnap them from the street at gunpoint. Many many great friends at any time.
No better way to get people who used to voluntarily give you money to give you more money than threatening them.
All the defense has to do is play the clip of him openly telling advertisers not to advertise and he’ll get laughed out of court.
In an actual court? In Trumps america?
Most politicians are bought for less than a million. The guy has hundreds of billions. I imagine he can buy a few judges along the way.
Possibly, but none of those bought judges matter unless it ends up in their specific court. That’s why they’ve been trying to install as many of their own as possible.
