What exactly are they protesting by pulling ads?
I bet they don’t have the guts to say anything to try to define it. Because really there’s nothing to protest.
It’s not like Musk is any kind of true conservative or even throwing around the name of a particular political party. All that is happening here is we get to see what happens when someone with money and a little power dares to be independent in thought and action. That’s really all this is.
It shouldn’t be all THAT big of deal, except that apparently Twitter is/was more than it is supposed to be. So what if a different tech mogul buys them? WHY is that so important? Oh... because the platform really did exist for reasons other than just making profit or being an open public forum for discourse. Tech sites come, tech sites go, others rise and take their place. MySpace, AOL Instant Messenger, Compuserve... it was just a footnote in news when they faded. But Twitter? No, TWITTER being bought out by a consortium led by Elon Musk had our current administration threatening to look at it for NATIONAL SECURITY reasons. A large number of countries around the globe have access to and use Twitter. What questions do you think they were asking themselves when they saw that? 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.

This is not a sign of weakness by GM. This is a nod to the Woke Crowd and a signal to that Crowd that GM is playing by Woke rules.
With the Woke Crowd/Group, you are either on the inside or you are on the outside. If you are on the outside, you are hated and vilified. Outsiders are fascists, racists, Nazis, and all other kinds of despicable.
As a side note, the actual descriptions (fascists, racists, etc.) don't have any specific meaning anymore. They just mean, "bad" and "outside" the Crowd. Outsiders are dead to the Woke insiders...or at least worthy of death.
GM is making its choice known. This is a big deal!

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
