Oh they will just get more fed money for EV or another fed cash infusion like 2007 to save them. All I see when I see GM is “Government Motors.”

I have never seen any advertising on Twitter. And I am there at least once a day. ><>>> I use an ad-blocker called uBlock Origin - A Free, open-source ad content blocker.

GM, dead to me since ‘72.

[Fester Chugabrew]

I only use Twatter for the ads.

Mine changes my last name to “Nauseated”. And “God” to “good”.

“Why are these companies afraid of free speech?”

If the reason is because they’re competing in the auto industry, pulling ads makes perfect sense to me. If it’s because they approve of stifling conservative speech, then let them lose money for their stupidity.

When posting, I’m glad I kept my two old BlackBerry Classics with tactile keyboards. Can’t use them for phones anymore, but they do connect to the Internet.

Bring Mike Lindell to twitter.

Maybe I'm just old school, but I would think there would be a contract involved for GMs advertising on Twitter. I would also think that existing contracts would have been included in the terms of the sale, sort of like accounts receivable or inventory. GM may be able to cancel their advertising, but I expect that they will still have to pay for it.

Trump has to return, just to out these woke companies. Government Motors has long been on my do not buy list. Who else wants to join them? Trump can leave Twatter after everyone has their hissy fits.

Their wong

That is about to change drastically.

Reality is hitting our Federal Government and their ability to print. “Play money” is ending.

It’s going to be hell for the Republican congress who will appear to be the adult making necessary fiscal decisions while the Presidency is spending like a teenager with an unlimited credit card,(That is in their parent’s names!)

[Dixie Yooper]

Looks like Tesla could take up advertising soon.

GM protests free speech…ok…GM must have gotten big bucks from the RATS to go all electric…enjoy your bankruptcy…

We used to be a GM family...

[Billie Bud]

It’s a cycle congress knows well. However, maybe we will get some decent ones who aren’t RINOS that care about more than lining their pockets through deals with lobbyists or “initiatives.”

The US has not cited national security concerns about hundreds of other high profile tech sites being gobbled up and moved overseas over the years. But this one was somehow different.

Perhaps this really is a national, uh, GOVERNMENT, security concern?

The government wants to disarm us after 245 yrs 'cuz they plan to do are doing things we would shoot them for!

At no point in history has any government ever wanted its people to be defenseless for any good reason

I have seen some unbelievable concoctions from auto correct.

Mine "fixed" a misspelling of 'seems' to Semmelweis...

General Motors is an old age home for retired auto workers, and has a side gig making shitty cars
