so a south African is suing a swiss company in American court? why just why is this theatrical bullshit allowed to go on so sick of this already times be changing too slowly we need the next phase already
Its an american company suing an american subsidiary of a swiss company. It makes sense. You dont have to try very hard to find the ridiculousness in these people but this isnt it.
i don't understand how it's a boycott or how is illegal or unfair
It's not a boycott, neither is it illegal. He's literally just being a crybaby and believes that anybody not pandering to his business model should be forced by the courts to give him money regardless.
And he's now President of the US so he gets to make the laws.
And he bought the position fair and square.
He's gone crazy from power. People like that are dangerous.
He acts like some Russian (criminal) government official who now owns this country and do anything in there.
All people are like that. Our brains aren’t built to handle that kind of obscene wealth and power. It would break anyone, just as overindulging in any unhealthy activity.
The fix is to not let anyone accumulate that level of wealth.
Money are just an instrument for power. These are narcissists/psychopaths/power abusers/sociopaths/gangsters/criminals
K. Power still corrupts. Always has.
How long until Tesla sues me for buying a Toyota?
Currently scheduled for 18th of March.
Just in time for Toyotathon
Or is Toyotathon in time for this? The world may never know...
If suing companies for not advertising on your platform made any sense, porn sites could sue almost the whole economy.
Last year he told everybody to go fuck themselves. Now he's crying. If there is somebody who needs to be deported, is it his narcistic, selfish, apartheid's ass.
Nobody wants either side to actually win, we'll root for whoever is currently more messed up hoping they'll make a comeback and prolong the fight.
Maybe asking advertisers to 'go fuck yourselves' isn't such a bright idea, fuckwit.
Can someone explain to me how you can sue over a business choosing to not spend their advertising dollars on a particular service? I mean Elon specifically told his customers to “fuck off” and now he’s suing them?!? I just don’t understand these petulant little man children being so litigious when they get their feefees hurt.
Easy, you pack courts with shills, you eliminate government oversight, and then you do whatever you want.
The actual "easy" part is that you can sue anyone for pretty much anything. Suing is entirely different from winning the case.
Why they think they have a chance of winning is the weirder question, especially when Musk publically told the advertisers to go fuck themselves.
You know you've fucked up when even Nestlé doesn't want to work with you...
Obligatory Fuck Nesté
Oh yes Nestle, the infamously lefty liberals.
I’m honestly blown away that Nestle stopped or reduced advertising. It seems like twitter is exactly the home for such a terrible company.
YouTube 10 years ago: we’re becoming as straight-edged as possible to keep advertisers around
Twitter now: Fuck you (wait we needed you)
All the defense has to do is play the clip of him openly telling advertisers not to advertise and he'll get laughed out of court.
"The lawsuit isn’t the only place where executives have offered a pessimistic assessment of X’s business. The company’s owner Elon Musk reportedly told employees in January that “user growth is stagnant, revenue is unimpressive, and we’re barely breaking even.”"
Just fire some people, that’ll drive profits up.
"We're barely breaking even" mate, you're supposedly in the business of online services since the late 90s, you should know that they're generally "barely breaking even"
I wasn't aware Twitter was even breaking even in thd first place
wtf is musk even expecting to gain here
The legal system is essentially purchased at this point (remember everyone gloating about how the Onion bought InfoWars?)
There’s a chance he might find a toadie judge and get something out of this. Or at least be obnoxious enough that others might preemptively comply with something.
Hey Elmo, you told the advertisers to “go fuck yourself” in no uncertain terms, even repeating yourself for dramatic effect.
Hey I’ve got an idea Elmo. Go fuck yourself.
Can you please tag this elon, so that our spam filters work?
It's not practical to censor "x"
The lesson here is to never start advertising on that platform. You’re less likely to be sued by Musk if you never start advertising in the first place. Advertising on his platform is an unnecessary risk for your business:
Nothing says you believe in free market competition more, than suing a another private business, trying to force them to give you money
This donkey about to get taught a lesson by nestle. He probably thinks he's hot shit now but he poked the devil.
How dare your company not advertise on my company cause I’m a racist wanna be nazi twat.
