Elon Musk, the owner of X, criticized advertisers with expletives on Wednesday at The New York Times’s DealBook Summit.
Huh. I wonder why Saudi Arabia isn’t demanding their $22B back.
They’ll get some of it back when they sell his kidneys
Poor Linda Yaccarino (current CEO of Twitter). She must be wondering what in the actual ### did I get myself into…
Poor?
She’s making bank having to do nothing and anything that runs X into the ground is easy to point at Musk.
She has an absolutely sweet deal.
But she was all excited to turn it around.
I don’t feel there is any reason to say that. She knew what she got into.
She is still gonna get a paycheck. Why does she care what Musk does? She is just a token CEO anyway.
She was just worried about having the title on her resume. That’s all. Fucking grandiose narcissism. No wonder her and Musk get along.
Trump supporters generally don’t ask those kind of questions of themselves. Like Trump, they like to pretend they’re always endlessly self-assured in their thoughts and actions, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
People shocked that she’s a fucking garbage CEO just didn’t know about her past as a garbage head of a department.
I’m serious about the Trump supporting thing, too. She’s a Trump supporter. The fucking stupidity and doubling down on said stupidity is required for that.
It’s very funny that his single biggest failure is so public. Like if The Boring Company couldn’t find customers, it would just quietly shut down. Newsworthy, but only for like a day.
This is monthly stories about severe incompetence and petulance.
Like if The Boring Company couldn’t find customers, it would just quietly shut down.
If? Besides a few small projects have they ever scored anything significant?
Ha I didn’t want to put this in my comment to complicate the point but no they’ve only done one actual thing so this could have happened and I don’t know that we’d know.
it’s public because it is the public it’s twitter
There are different levels of “public”. Musk doesn’t need to publicly announce he’s telling all the advertisers to fuck off, he could tell it to them on a private call and then the public would most likely only know what advertisers are pulling out. The whole “fuck off” statement never needed to be public, Musk made it public because he can do whatever the fuck he wants. The same goes for a lot of things you see about Twitter. He didn’t need to do his things in public, he simply did.
Finally. Took them long enough.
Everything Disney owns needs to leave, including ABC and ESPN. Otherwise it’s all bullshit theater from them.
Didn’t he say he would crush twitter to stop that kid that was tracking his plane ?
or did i make that up ?
that kid that was tracking his plane
I hope more people and businesses come to their senses and move to mastodon.
Problem is, advertisers likely do not want to go on mastodon because they can’t advertise there
Good.
And that’s a feature not a bug. A lot are waiting on how ad sales will play out on Threads I bet.
More? Is anyone in Mastodon?
I hope the businesses who come do like the BBC and spin up their own server. I don’t want them making accounts on places like Lemmy, like reddit, where someone is having their username taken away now for ‘trademark infringement.’ Username was “FoodNetwork.”
The fact that reddit just letting business steal fucking usernames is god damned vile.
Companies give a shit about giving us information. It’s all about the advertising, so they will flock to the next closed-source company-controlled shithole.
Is he in Scientology? He’s gone off the cliff like most of them do.
No. This is just a regular billionaire, same as all the rest.
Most billionaires at least have enough sense to keep a low profile.
There is nothing regular about what musk is doing. Most billionaires only make the news when they lay off or bust unions or something. When’s the last time bezos was in the news for Twitter trolling?
I am not going to pay a single cent to read this news article
He as a CEO does not understand that sometimes, it’s best to just SHUT UP.
Shutting up is free, but running off at the mouth can be expensive.
Well that went well…
I thought this guy was supposed to be right wing? Doesn’t he like the free market? Because, I mean, the alternative is regulation. We could make antisemitism illegal, but in the west we have largely decided that we will instead rely on free market forces (read: public shaming) to root that shit out.
It’s almost as if… and this might sound crazy, but hear me out… it’s almost as if this guy wants the advantages of capitalism, but none of its disadvantages?
He’s a libertarian. That means he thinks he can do whatever the fuck he wants but will squeal like a stuck pig at the slightest sign of pushback.
Everyone loves capitalisim until it’s inflicted on them. Oddly enough, this includes Musk.
What advertisers are doing isn’t capitalism it’s collusion to manipulate the market.

I simply made a claim to why something is happening whether or not is true is yet to be proven but that doesn’t mean it’s not a possibility. These companies want a hand in how the company is run and if they’re not getting what they want them calling each other up to coordinate an ads pull is a tool in their toolbox.
Either bring facts, or state it as an opinion, don’t try to do both or you will get called out.
It’s to early to state facts so it’s a given that most things mentioned this early would be opinions.
Yeah, that’s just capitalism.
Obviously you don’t understand capitalism and your just going off what people who want communism and socialism are saying.
So capitalism bans collusion? How?
Government regulations. Capitalism is a component of the government so it should take government action to enforce it.
Really? Because I’ve been repeatedly told by libertarian types (not socialists or communists) that any government regulation is not capitalism.
You’re free to disagree with them, but then I’m going to ask what your definition of capitalism is that assumes this regulation (not just allowing it, but mandating it).
YOU CUNTING RETARD
lol, how old are you because that’s really immature.
He’s starting to look like Charlie’s mom from always sunny
They werent coming back anyways.fuckem
