Elon Musk's threatening advertisers now ?

[Pluvious]

Sorry if this is old, I didn’t see it in the Greatest List
( this kind of topic doesn’t usually receive many recs, so they drop down pretty fast )

Link to tweet

I saw this on Reddit as a captured screenshot and assumed it was fact
( they’d just cropped out Davis’ name )

So I searched it down - it’s not faked

1. The advertisers have announced they are pulling out of Twitter

Naming them won't shame them. They want people to know.

5. he can't even "name" them

How is he going to 'name' some company that has literally already put out a press release saying what they did?

7. Exactly.

2. So are the GQP .....

It's not freedom, but "do as I tell you to do or else" fascism.

3. Biting the hands that feed him. Good move 🙄

4. It's amazing how quick these scumbags are to stand up for their own

[ProfessorGAC]

6. An Interesting Tactical Plan...

..to raise revenues as he guaranteed.
What better way to raise revenues than abusing the advertisers?
Sheer genius.

8. Suppose you are a large business looking to advertise online.

You can put your ad money into a moderated social media app that will prevent your ad from being displayed in the middle of a Neo Nazi tantrum.

Or, you can put your ad money into an app that will have lots of “free speech” attacks on all manner of people. And if you rethink it and pull out, the app owner will call you out for ridicule and boycott.

Hmm. Decisions, decisions.

9. At this rate the only advertisers on twitter

will be the My pillow guy and cash for gold.

10. Making the free market pay. Great idea.

That was after making the twitter masses pay for Free Speech.

11. Gee, pull the VERY modest portion of their advertising budgets going to Twitter,

OR have their ads show alongside neo-Nazi and other uber-contemptible hate group material?

SUCH a hard decision. And how clever of Musk to push them to it.
