I guess anti-Semitism on TikTok and college campuses are okay.

I just don’t see the sense in tying business advertising to political speech. The only explanation is extremely thin skin on all concerned, whether seller or buyer.

Interesting that not a one of them are upset or concerned about rampant anti -White, anti-Christian or anti-West rhetoric or ‘hate speech’

There is more volume of hate speech on Facebook and Instagram and TikTok by far.

The companies involved are part of the CIA complex or cabal or whatever term you like. This is not about business, it's war by other means, against Musk.

"... in light of a new report from nonprofit Media Matters for America Thursday"

Oh, Media Matters -- that bastion of truth and objectivity...

I read the the posting that Musk replied to, as well as his actual response, and can't say that I totally understand what this is all about.

Hey Timmy, take a look at who’s posting those messages - they’re primarily the people you advertise to, you ignorant dumbass.

Thank you, JustaTech.

Until the Political Right learns how to communicate with simple sentences and one syllable words, we will continue to surrender without throwing a punch.

Did “the white house” condemn the Osama Bin Laden video being promoted by Xi during his visit. Pure coincidence right?

I wonder when the memo went out instructing big corporate advertisers to dump X.

The followup will be an orchestrated campaign against corporations that still advertise on X. The argument will be made that “responsible” companies have severed ties and that those that haven’t should be sanctioned. It will turn into an half-point attack overnight.

I don’t understand how this is antisemitic. All the poster said (rather clumsily) is that they don’t care that Jews would be upset that the minorities that are flooding over their border might also not like them.
This is the same as saying they don’t care that Republicans would be upset that minorities coming from Mexico might also not like them.
To be antisemitic a statement would need to denigrate or insult Jews for some intrinsic quality like greed or clannishness or because they were responsible for some evil. The fact the poster doesn’t care how Jews feel is just a statement of their own lack of compassion but is not antisemitic.
The whole fake news cycle is just more of the left trying to take down Elon Musk because he is smarter, richer, and more powerful than any of the tiny, weak, pissants that attack him. Does anyone think he cares about their pathetic attempt at power using their lies and resentment tactics?

Musk is on their sh*t list for speaking truth to power

they are looking for any excuse to hurt him

but Musk has said he does not care

even if it costs him money he will not sit down and shut up

I assume the companies decide on the placement of their ads via X software.

It is up to the companies to refine their placement if it is within their grasp.

Yaccarino is a failure. Reminds me of McDaniels.
