threads could do the funniest thing ever and launch their advertiser program this week.
Honestly, fuck meta just as much as Elon.
They can fuck each other and I’ll watch from mastodon
Suing your former customers, now there’s a way to make people want to do business with you!
The beatings will continue until ad revenue improves.
I assume these companies being sued follow standard procedure, which is that everything freezes the moment a lawsuit starts. It’s pretty much a guarantee that these companies halt spending, let alone even communicate, with X
It’s also common to re-evaluate business deals after major acquisitions. Musk buying Twitter dramatically changes the business perception, and that’s what matters to advertisers. Twitter can’t even begin to try and claim it doesn’t, just look at Musk’s tweets leading into it and directly after. The entire purpose of his purchase was to fundamentally change it, he said so himself.
the lawsuit stemmed in part from evidence uncovered by the U.S. House Judiciary Committee
Real evidence, or another Gym Jordan special?
Has a GOP-controlled congressional committee uncovered any actual evidence in the past 20 years or so?
I take notice of whenever they have a new hearing or investigative issue, and each one I can remember has always been “let’s go on a fishing expedition to find dirt or at least impugn the character of a political rival” followed a year later by a Friday-night quiet disbanding of the committee with no findings, or a report being issued that says nothing of importance whatsoever.
The investigations never produce anything but sound bites for Fox News
I think that’s why they’re big mad at Harris. They don’t have time to spin up a worthless investigation about her and Walz.
Fuck Musk!!
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, hates peach 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?
What a stupid degenerate.
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.
I believe the correct response is “go fuck yourself.”
I think this is a reference to this in case somebody didn’t get that.
Definitely.
or the poop emoji
Gonna sue my whole neighborhood for not buying my homemade brownies.
- Ruin a popular site at a blistering pace driving away users.
- Criticize advertisers for also leaving and tell them to leave if they don’t like step 1.
- Sue said advertisers for leaving.
- No one wants to advertise with you.

Did I miss anything?
Ah yes, suing over a boycott. Totally legal and smart. Why hasn’t anyone ever done that before.
They have!
Obviously it never worked though.
Definitely going to look like a safe bet for future advertising opportunities.
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 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.
Link?
Damn, I can’t afford a legal battle. Sending my check right now. Could you uhh provide me with a link to your website strictly for b2b purposes of course
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?
can sue
Of course they can.
Successfully? Probably not.
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
