NEWS: Walmart (WMT.N) said on Friday it is not advertising on social media platform X, one of the latest brands to say it has dropped the Elon Musk-owned site.

"We aren't advertising on X as we've found other platforms to better reach our customers," a Walmart spokesperson said.

Twitter under Dorsey was extreme deep state, pro-democratic party and decidely left.

Musk made it much more open and fair.

Musk is CORRECT anyway…there is white hate and some is Jewish. Of course most Jewish people are not haters, any group has people that hate. Like the “nice” woman who wrote the Julia Childs movie:

It’s a coordinated corporation attempt to take down Musk as well as his Space X. Biden is behind it.

If so, Musk has enough money to prove it - and hang Biden out to dry in foreign and independent media.

I run an adblock that blocks using DNS. I rarely ever see any ads on X.

Guess I’ll stop enjoying my WanTon soup on Friday nights.

I despise the Chinese so called Leaders, but the Chinese people, not so much.

They have endured some nasty days.

In my area (central Missouri) two new, larger Dollar Generals have been built and are beginning to chip away at Walmart.

I actually think our country would be better off without it. In fact, 2015 would have been perfect to see it vanished from the world. It’s caused more problems for people then positives.

So, I guess Wal-Mart decided to follow Musk’s advice and Go F Themselves. Who cares?

It doesn’t matter where you shop. Everything comes from China. You might as well save some money and buy it at WalMart.

“We really should bankrupt Walmart to teach them a lesson.”

In 2009 I wrote all of my MBA papers on Walmart because they published an amazing amount of information that was unavailable anywhere else. At the time they were the largest corporation in the world and had an equivalent GDP behind the fifteenth largest COUNTRY, Saudi Arabia. They were the largest private employer in the world. There were fifteen states in which Walmart was the largest single employer. Their policy of selling at volume rather than price had singlehandedly kept inflation in check. They had replaced manufacturing as the entry/training ground for American low capability labor. The average Walmart employee had taken his job there as his first job and that person was forty years old. That average employee kept the job for only 18 months and afterwards had moved on to a better paying job. In other words, he had learned enough skills to find better employment.

Destroying Walmart would be horribly damaging to the US economy and to the ability of people of limited means to live better lives. I can’t remember who said it, but there are two tragedies in life. Not getting what you want, and getting what you want.

Been pi$$ed at Walmart since they dropped My Pillow. Don’t believe boycotting them will do any good. IMO

All of my Chinese food comes from people who live and own restaurants in the small town I live in. I doubt very much that any of them are spies for the CCP. They are all very nice people and work hard to keep their business profitable and their customers happy. I have noticed that none of their kids work at any of the restaurants, though. It seems that American-born Chinese-Americans find another line of work.

Well, I do buy Orange Sauce and a few other ingredients at a local store, but none of them say "Made In China".

Walmart has to support Chinese owned TikTok or will be shut off from the cheap Chinese crap.

Walmart is a hard target given the number of employees and the red state rural areas that depend on it.

You might have some success if you pick one item and boycott that. Auto related purchases might be one.

Typically those are available elsewhere.

I hear you on that, but Walmart has joined the cultural warfare against us. They are eventually going to target Christians and those on the right. It’s just a matter of time.
