Suing your former customers, now there's a way to make people want to do business with you!

Free markets do what free markets do. Suck it up, Musky Boy.

Such a free speech absolutist. Wanting the government to compel companies to pay to speak on the private platform that he owns. Some real Trickle down free speech

So saying “Fuck you” to them and then suing? What a buffoon.

In related news, Musk filed separate suits against the sororities from his university for an "illegal boycott" against dating him.

Strange stance to take after telling them he doesn’t need them and they can “go fuck themselves” https://youtu.be/U_M_uvDChJQ?si=GJxx2MyScmSDCtcW

I too would like to sue the advertisers for boycotting my Breaking Bad erotic fan fiction page. That includes you Musk. I expect Twitter to start sending the checks next month. Or I guess I'll see you in court.

World Federation of Advertisers

There are no good guys in this fight.

Musk posted about the lawsuit on X on Tuesday, saying “now it is war” after two years of being nice and “getting nothing but empty words.”

Stop sounding like my mom with Borderline Personality Disorder.

In November 2023, about a year after Musk bought the company, a number of advertisers began fleeing X over concerns about their ads showing up next to pro-Nazi content and hate speech on the site in general, with Musk inflaming tensions with his own posts endorsing an antisemitic conspiracy theory.

Musk later said those fleeing advertisers were engaging in “blackmail” and, using a profanity, essentially told them to go away.

And they did. Now fuck off.

the lawsuit stemmed in part from evidence uncovered by the U.S. House Judiciary Committee

Real evidence, or another Gym Jordan special?

1. Ruin a popular site at a blistering pace driving away users.
2. Criticize advertisers for also leaving and tell them to leave if they don't like step 1.
3. Sue said advertisers for leaving.
4. No one wants to advertise with you.
5. Surprise pikachu.jpg

Did I miss anything?

He get this idea from his parents writing a letter to his school demanding other kids to be friends with him?

Gonna sue my whole neighborhood for not buying my homemade brownies.

So any entity that does something stupid that makes companies not want to associate with them anymore can sue for damages caused by their own mistake?

This is either very stupid or some 6-D chess move to make millions. Hmm...

Also, free market as long as it's profitable for you, right?

threads could do the funniest thing ever and launch their advertiser program this week.

This will surely bring them back! /s

Elon you can't get anywhere by whining. Pick yourself up by the bootstraps and get to work. Sheesh. Youngsters these days are so lazy.

What a stupid degenerate.

I believe the correct response is “go fuck yourself.”

The company formerly known as Twitter

Love it. Not the point but it is still funny to me that Elon renamed the company and the world revolted.

Oh shit, is he also going to sue me because I stopped using Twitter since he took over? TIL it's illegal to stop using Elon's products.

The Belgium-based World Federation of Advertisers and representatives for CVS, Orsted, Mars and Unilever didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment Tuesday.

Good luck trying to sue a foreign organization for refusing to do business with your US-based company.

I wasn't aware you can sue your customers when they decide to not give you their business anymore.

Imagine Walmart suing people, because they shop somewhere else now. Or your plumber because you called someone else to unclog your toilet.

It doesn't sound like Musk is suing them because they broke any contracts, just that several big advertiser spoke to each other and decided not to renew contracts because of rising antisemitism, hate speach and fake news.

I mean, I tell people for 30 years not to buy Nestlé products because of their disregard for human rights. Can Nestlé now sue me too?

I’m really straining to see what he’s even suing for and on what grounds. He surely thinks he has some kind of case - what is it? He’s suing them for antitrust conspiracy? But that would only make sense to do against another ad platform, not advertisers themselves. I know I’m supposed to just say “he’s stupid this is stupid” but my brain has trouble letting go of the idea that he must be thinking something here, yet I can’t tell for the life of me what it is.

With how politically involved he wants to be now with his ridiculous and probably illegal PAC, it wouldn't surprise me if this was a stunt to eclipse Kamala's VP pick announcement.

What, only he gets to be delulu? Hold my tinfoil hat, fam.
