  Hey

  You aren’t advertising with me. Stop bullying me and give me money.

  If you don’t give me money right now, you’re bullying me.

      What did he win? They aren’t going to resume advertising with him. They got out of the lawsuit without having to pay lawyers or change their behavior. What did he win?

        So do you honestly think he just wanted their money?

        You don’t think that Elon Musk is over there laughing because they dropped the lawsuit, and thinking that he’s top dog cuz they went away?

        Have you seen is ego?

        I mean, I like Elon, but he’s def a slave to his ego. I still like him, but come on…lol

  how do you mean? they just “hydra’d” on him. If he wants to sue them now for leaving xitter he will have to go after them individually.

  I don’t get it. Elon didn’t win a thing, he lost harder.

  He complained advertisers were banding together and boycotting his platform. He starts a frivolous lawsuit.

  So now even more advertisers are boycotting his platform.

    And in his mind, he thinks he won, because the advertiser platform dropped out.

    His ego is boosted. It’s not about money lost.

  you hate people bullying people yet you love elon bullying a non profit into silence?

  also this isn’t going to bring advertisers to twitter.

    I don’t care about X (formerly Twitter) or advertisers.

  A multi-billion dollar social media company sued an ad industry group that was trying to have help companies have some kind of brand safety standards to prevent a company’s ads from appearing next to objectionable content. They reportedly had two full-time staff members. This isn’t some big win, it’s bullying itself.
