Big brands keep dropping X over antisemitism; $75M loss, report estimates::Creators worried advertisers dropping X could hurt revenue-sharing payouts.
It’d be a lot better if they would close their accounts on the platform entirely. Anyone still on the platform is fine sharing a room with literal Nazis.
closing the account frees up the handle for trolls/scammers to use. So just not using it is a better way to do it
If a company pauses activity permanently, and musk opens up the handle as his latest tantrum, could the company sue for damages?
Or is the best call to just say “pausing temporarily” and have it be permanent in practice
I don’t have Xwitter, so I can’t check, but has Apple stopped posting?
Its the dumbest thing. Like, say for a second they’re correct and the Jewish people really rule the world: how are you gonna succeed if you’re fucking with them?
Something something enemy is both weak and strong something or other -_-
You forgot Jesus and God’s will.

It must be pretty frustrating for employees to watch Mr Bossman lose the company $75 million because he just couldn’t stay away from antisemitic tweets, when any of them would probably be fired for EITHER a $500k mistake OR a hate tweet.
I guess hate speech really was Elon’s endgame all along. Being antisemitic on Twitter, with impunity, is the whole reason he bought it. The big idea.
I can’t imagine having such a petty, small dream.
