Walmart said Friday it is not advertising on social media platform X, one of the latest major companies 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

I will not be holiday shopping there this year. They can go hang with Kmart.
Sam Walton’s children are spoiled rotten pinko communist left wing Democrat snobs.
“Public Private Partnership”.
I’ve boycotted Walmart since they tweeted against Hawley on before Jan. 6th.
I’m not happy that Musk recently used f... publicly, and I’m not happy that he’s had several kids by multiple temporary partners. But, like Steve Jobs, he’s a very successful businessman. Just not a good role model.
Everyone is going Chinese. We are doing all of this to ourselves.
Hi.
In the fwiw department, we could stop shopping at Walmart (Target) and never notice a difference.
Oh, we quit shopping at Target 4 years ago.

“There is no Corporate America. Corporations have no nations.”
Corporations own many Republican and Democrat politicians through their campaign contributions, speaking fees, and consulting or board assignments after Congressmen and Senators retire.
Walmart is not our friend.“
No they are not, the CEO is a rat loyalist. He pulled the My Pillow line despite strong sales out if political spite. It begs the question, who is our friend?
Damm. Another lib store I can’t boycott.
The shoplifter nation rejoices...
I just sent them an email advising them of my support for free speech and Musk’s X and that I will be taking my business elsewhere. We should all do the same.
“I just sent them an email advising them of my support for free speech “
I did that when they tossed the entire My Pillow line. Never even received the curtesy of a from letter in response. Nothing. You can expect the same.
Elon will come outta this “smelling like a rose”!! Can’t wait for the BOOM!
Walmart hate free speech? I am done with Walmart.
Not going to happen. One reason that Musk bought Twitter is for the AI and database. He renamed it X to roll it into a combined XAI corporation. He brought in Tesla engineers to rework the engineering, and let go of 75 percent of the Twitter staff.
The latest talk is that he is talking to the Tesla board to get them to combine assets of Tesla with XAI. Musk owns X and XAI outright, and a large portion of Tesla. Tesla engineers, servers and AI software were used to redo Twitter/X, so Tesla was already invested in Twitter/X. Talk is that Tesla may invest $10 to $50 billion into X, and Tesla shareholders will be issued stock in XAI. Tesla is not a car company, it is an AI tech company. Same goes for X.com, it is not just a social media site, it is an AI tech company.
Their competition are Microsoft and Google with their AI aspirations. If you recall, Musk helped set up OpenAI as a non-profit, but Microsoft jumped in and altered it to a non-profit closed system some 4 years later in 2019. There is a war going on between Microsoft, Google, and now XAI, to become the AI leader of the world. X will not become a non-profit as it seeks to counter Microsoft and Google.
Great analysis...
James O’Keefe turned Project Veritas into a non-profit and you see what they did to him..
I like to go into walmart, load up a cart with a bunch of ben & jerry’s ice cream, stroll around a bit and then park the cart out in lawn & garden before I leave.
