What did he expect?
Of course, they don't believe in it. In any business dealing, there has to be the assumption of good faith given on the part of both parties. The left does not operate under that self-constraint.
Thanks for the link. This explains it all when it comes to these mass boycotts by these woke corporation’s and who is coordinating it all….we really do have to financially support our people in every facet.
“List the advertisers who have stopped their spend. These are companies that should never be patronized.”
Right on!
I would agree.
Ought to be a $2 a month ‘just-to-read’ option, a $7 a month fee for writing comments or passing around, and $10 a month with the blue-mark option. This would also get rid of the bots.
Its sad that so many investors despise open and free exchange of ideals and beliefs. But the Left has slipped so far into fascism that I doubt they can come back to a free society. They have a rigid agenda that must indoctrinate it’s followers and leave no room for questioning their motives.
“Are actions like a boycott like this covered under restraint of trade laws??”
Being that there are no laws that force two parties to conduct business together, no.
Another component is the purge of bots. Overall ad income was fraudulently bloated by Twitter execs by permitting rampant bot use. Bots are now being purged, and this causes a drop in revenue.
Whiney arsed flight by snowflakes is irrelevant. They are minor component. And, of course advertisers will make supportive noises to them — they sold their souls and have no choice. Let them go.
go to a subscriber model and get rid of all censorship for anything but “CLEARLY ILLEGAL” speech (true threats, child porn, etc).
I’ll sign up for Twitter and pay the subscription fee if he does that. The fee can be small like it is for Locals. It raises some revenue yes but the big thing is, even a small fee kills all the bots.
Indeed. There are certain assumptions, mainly derived from a common culture, that make a society stay within guardrails….if some decide and even get rewarded for ignoring them, its not a pretty ending and history documents where we are headed…

I posted here about her months ago
First she went after Bongino , then “misinformation” and “hate” sites
She gets her army to contact the advertisers and of course they give in to the mob
Our side never fights back
Most of those advertiser’s will back once things settle down.
$$ is always the bottom line.
They will stand “Strong” for now.😉
The point was missed completely.
With the resurrection, there will be new advertisers
Jealous Musk haters must remember.
His rockets and his engineers bested the world’ best. bested were Boeing, NASA and Russia. His engineers and revolutionary cast aluminum bodies for his electric cars are allowing production and mega revenues to be able to garner a few bucks to buy Twitter.
How much money did twitter get from the government ?
That number is now totally irrelevant.
Musk et al have control
I think even a one time registration fee of $2-5 per account for non checks would decimate the bot army. That would make twitter a far more compelling and organic town square.
Let the blue checks pay per month. I have no problem with that, too.
See it all the time, advertisers make a big stink, and then over time quietly return.
Twitter along with Facebook are most likely on the way out. Elon just threw away $44 Billion. At this rate he won't be the richest man in the world for much longer. I hope he squirrels away a $Billion or two for a rainy day.
