Good. They don't get to fucking bully whoever they want.
Elon didn't like their shit, and called them on it.
And they fucking cried and gave up, right away. lmao
Hey
You aren't advertising with me. Stop bullying me and give me money.
If you don't give me money right now, you're bullying me.
Yep, the irony of two bullies calling each other bullies is awesome to watch!
But Elon won, cuz the other side shut down quick! lmao
What did he win? They aren't going to resume advertising with him. They got out of the lawsuit without having to pay lawyers or change their behavior. What did he win?
So do you honestly think he just wanted their money?
You don't think that Elon Musk is over there laughing because they dropped the lawsuit, and thinking that he's top dog cuz they went away?
Have you seen his ego?
I mean, I like Elon, but he's def a slave to his ego. I still like him, but come on...lol
He started a legal fight with someone, they backed down. Money losses or not, he definitely won. Because they dropped.
And he is grinning.
I mean, I def would prefer money. But I don't think that's always his goal.
If a stupid person being impressed by himself counted as "winning," there'd be a whole lot more winners out there.
But it doesn't.
Honest question, why?
Because he has the balls to do what he wants. Even when all you guys scream and cry.
Regardless of whether you like him or hate him, he works hard, gets shit done. Even if you don't like it.
Now having said that, I also don't give a shit if he loses it all. I admire him, but I don't worship him.
And I fucking LOVE what he did with Twitter. Liberals cry censorship now that it doesn't always favor them on the platform, but they laughed when republicans cried censorship on the old twitter.
By the way, censorship sucks regardless of platform. I just find it laughingly ironic how you all cry now, but where laughing then.
In other words, you think it's fine to censor republican stuff. But get fucking mad when democrat stuff gets censored.
You all were doing the same fucking thing!
The guy is terminally online talking shit on xitter all day how the fuck he works hard?
Okay, then it's exactly what I thought. Thanks!
how do you mean? they just "hydra'd" on him. If he wants to sue them now for leaving xitter he will have to go after them individually.
I don't get it. Elon didn't win a thing, he lost harder.
He complained advertisers were banding together and boycotting his platform. He starts a frivolous lawsuit.
So now even more advertisers are boycotting his platform.
And in his mind, he thinks he won, because the advertiser platform dropped out.
His ego is boosted. It's not about money lost.
you hate people bullying people yet you love elon bullying a non profit into silence?
also this isn't going to bring advertisers to twitter.
I don't care about X (formerly Twitter) or advertisers.
A multi-billion dollar social media company sued an ad industry group that was trying to have help companies have some kind of brand safety standards to prevent a company's ads from appearing next to objectionable content. They reportedly had two full-time staff members. This isn't some big win, it's bullying itself.
