IBM, a major advertiser on X, has pulled its spending from the social media platform, whose employees are grappling with what to tell its other advertisers, according to internal messages.

To be clear: Musk endorsed a tweet which used a false antisemitic conspiracy theory to tell people why "Hitler was right"

IBM gone, Apple gone, Disney gone. As I don't use Twix: Who is still spending marketing money on Elon's shitberg?

Why TF is IBM advertising on X? They sell mainframes. Who is scrolling through X and thinks 'shit, I could really use a mainframe'?

IBM has almost left the sales sector completely. They're basically consultants to huge companies now. They found there was a lot more money in running financial companies datacenters.

That's bold coming from the company (IBM) that helped the Nazis organize a well structured genocide.

Linda Yaccarino accepting that position... talk about a poisoned chalice.

I'm sure she's getting paid enough to support herself and whatever kid(s) might result from Musk after 𝕏itter is done.

She seems to be fully on board with the program.

Damn I was expecting some kind of heated hot-take laden debate about the recent events with Israel, which would have been bad enough for him to throw his two cents into, but dude completely exceeded my expectations in the worst way by straight up praising Hitler out of the blue while givng the nod to white supremacy.

So now that he's actually showed his hand we can start unironically calling Elon a Nazi now right? I remember people calling him that just to insult him in the past and his personal cult brigade coming to his defense. Let's see them try and do that now.
