Doesn’t he have a rather large role in the party of small government?
AbidanYre@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Co-head of a newly created department of efficiency.
It’s all so painfully stupid.

Doesn’t change the fact that he’s a man-child crying that no-one wants to give him money to advertise on his sinking-ship platform.
SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Yeah. The one that say the government should not interfere with companies except when another company inconveniences him.

Can I sue Elon for not advertising on my car window? Its only $1k/day
nolannice@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Yes. Every company is colluding to not advertise on your window. Which is the definition of antitrust.

Such a facepalm concept
Capitalists. We can’t regulate businesses, if a corporation is opperating unsafe, harming the environment, spreading hateful messages etc… the only check and balance we need is the free market, and the consumers voting with their wallets.
Consumers vote with their wallets, This is unspeakable… we need the government to regulate to make sure the consumers don’t organize and vote with their wallets.

The thing is Twitter costs under a billion to run.
He could pull all advertising and run it to the end of his life as a hobby.
But he can’t have that, because the line must go up and the workers must cower in fear whenever their boss stalks the building.

That and one of the thing with rich people is that they hate losing money whatever happens.
So technically Melon could run Twitter at a loss for years but at one point, he will simply abandon it.

initiative to withhold “billions of dollars in advertising revenue”
That’s how he sees it, huh? He is entitled to your money by default, and you’re the problem if you ever stop giving him money?

Can’t wait for this to be thrown out of court. No one is forced to buy anything on his neo-nazi platform
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 5 months ago
It should be thrown out but Elon is Trump now and Trump will make sure his platforms are protected.

Twitch currently has a pretty effective moderation method for making sure certain topics or games don’t get featured on their platform.
For example, you can be in a bikini, that’s fine, but you can’t show feet.
You also can’t play the socom games from PS2, because of the idea of glorifying terrorists. Since if they win, the announcer says “terrorists win”.
The point I’m making is, these are abstract concepts that need human monitoring. It wouldn’t be that hard to add twitter/X conversations to that list.
So like, if you have a twitter, you can’t use your twitter on your away screens, or talk about it on stream. The same way you can’t give out an only fans link.
And twitch is owned by amazon. If they REALLY wanted to piss off musk, they could buy bluesky and make it the official microblogging service for all amazon owned services.
So if you have an amazon account, now you have a bluesky account.
And all the actors who act in yhe prime shows? They get signed into bluesky exclusive interaction contracts. Where they only interact with fans on bluesky.
As for CVS? They’re a struggling drug store chain. Amazon already owns whole foods. A grocery store. Would it really be too far out of the realm of plausibility to see them adopt CVS into their too big to fail ecosystem?

Wouldn’t the same apply to Counter-Strike? Did they change it since the last time I played ages ago?

It is unlikely that Amazon will buy Bluesky, but it is likely that Amazon will do its own fork of Bluesky.
EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 months ago
Amazon already has their own pharmacy, btw. They even bought a prescription delivery service a few years back, called PillPack or something. Buying CVS would give them brick and mortar stores for the pharmacy they already run online.
As much as I hate Amazon and their overreach into every sector of the economy, I’d love to see them bring the full might of their lawyers against Musk.

I’m honestly surprised they haven’t tried something like this via partnering with some platform. I think the unions would kill them… But I’m still surprised they haven’t tried it. Sports teams/leagues too.

This one makes no sense at all. No company will want to advertise there for fear of litigation.

It would be interesting to see how that plays out in court. That clip shows that the CEO himself is aware of the concerns, and refuses to address them. It also implicitly acknowledges that the reasoning was because of those issues, and not a conspiracy to harm ex-Twitter.

This is insane, there should be fines for frivolous lawsuits like this.

This is why he moved to Texas
ryper@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
And changed the twitter ToS to require suits in a specific part of texas.
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 5 months ago
There are. In most states.
He’s having the suits filed specifically in one of the few states that don’t.
