i’m confused didn’t he just say not supporting israel is akin to supporting genocide? which one is it mr musk?

[-] hxgni@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Good. Please stay away from that toxic platform forever.

[-] Brett-the-charmer@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Pause? Just cancel full stop!

[-] Heinzoliger@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[-] Luph@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

this is great but I wish people would just stop using it. that's the fastest way to get advertisers to quit it.

go to threads or mastadon or whatever. i get its hard to quit a popular network but twitter isn't that necessary.

“Furious consumers to pause buying Apple products after they continue to benefit from slave labor”

[-] longgamma@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Couldn’t he have spent like a couple of billion and made a new app from the ground up rather than buy Twitter ? Like he could have saved 40bn easily as this dumpster fire x is gonna get bankrupt soon.

[-] Suspicious_County_24@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

If he doesn’t have a mental illness I’d be shocked

[-] voluptuous_component@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What, so boosting all the insane rightwingers before this wasn't enough?

[-] smakusdod@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Nobody here knows the real story right?

[-] Psittacula2@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Engineered Outrage: "The Outrage! The Outage!"

The what? What does it matter apart from nonsense?

The same goes with advertisements.

[-] kbt@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

"Pause": we can't risk being associated with this so we have to make a statement, let it blow over and silently begin advertising again sometime later.

[-] heachu@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Will we finally have a twitter without ads?

[-] Sampladelic@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It’s hard to tell they were even advertising in the first place.

80% of the ads on Twitter now are self-promo’s, crypto scams, and start ups.

It’s no wonder the company is sinking in debt

[-] ByrsaOxhide@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This guy is dumber than a pigeon’s poop in the tenderloin.

[-] luke_workin@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is just for PR purposes. They’ll be back in time for the next Apple event. So that when you like a tweet with their hashtag it shows a fun animation.

[-] Lazy-Explanation7165@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Elon is brilliant, I have always wanted twitter to be ad free.

[-] bgarza18@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Dude why does nobody have a screengrab of the tweet

[-] motram@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Because its not anti-semetic, and the news (and reddit) don't want you actually judging opinons for yourself. They want you to see "Elon is an anti-semite" and believe it.

Why didn't Apple pause advertising when he retweeted Andrew Tate? Why wasn't that enough?

[-] Isa229@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It doesn’t surprise me that Shitlon is antisemitic

[-] ithinkoutloudtoo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is ironic considering that Tim Cook has met with China’s dictator before. And Apple does business with a country that is against basic human rights.

Apple, Lionsgate, Disney, IBM. Elon is a turd muffin.

[-] InspectorRound8920@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He's a putz

[-] anamazingredditor@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Just remove the app from the store 🤣🤣🤣

[-] eighymack@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Apple should get Jon Stewart to talk about Elon on his show… oh wait.

[-] KyleMcMahon@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Why is it just being paused? This is the second time they’ve paused their advertising. At this point just pull it.

[-] YZYSZN1107@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

At this point why does Apple even advertise on Twitter. I think everyone knows about Apple and their products.

[-] tommygunz007@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Doesn't Saudi Arabia own like 60% of Twitter? It makes sense then no?

[-] shiruken@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It wasn't just Musk backing the anti-semitic post, it was Apple ads appearing next to far-right, pro-Nazi content.

[-] Anon_8675309@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Pause?? Just stop altogether! That place is a slum.

[-] FourzerotwoFAILS@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This really doesn’t help his court case. You know the one where he’s suing for slander because a watchdog said there’s to much antisemitism and hate speech on the platform….

[-] motram@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Did you read what he wrote?

He isn't antisemetic.

We have US congresswomen tweeting "from the river to the sea", and people thing Elon is antisemetic because... reddit said so?

Read the tweet. It isn't what you think it is.

[-] TheRegular-Throwaway@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[-] firthy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They’re the only proper company that I see on there. All the rest of the advertisers are shitty Chinese gadgets.

[-] namforb@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Cancel Musk.

[-] teetotallyRadish@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

go to mars already, doofus

[-] morbob@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Fuck X, vote with your money and don’t give it to X.

[-] NikoliVolkoff@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

My my my... if isn't the consequences of his actions coming back to haunt him, again and again and again. What is Twitter worth now? $10b?

[-] I--Hate--Ads@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What did he do?

[-] Atman-Sunyata@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Windows user my entire life, time to buy a Mac!

[-] malbia@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He’s getting fucked right, left, and center haha he deserves it.

[-] Soggy_Obligation_883@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Just goes to show companies don’t have ethics and morals. All they care about is money making, and what could prevent people from wanting to buy their products. I saw someone else say that if majority of people were Nazis, they would pander to keep those folks money around.

[-] Hexnohope@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Why do corporations that big advertise at all? Give my eyes a fucking break i know what an iphone is. I have tasted coca cola. These are things literally everyone alive knows about you dont need to remind me you exist. If i have to hear that oreo guy call his godamned cakester a cream filled slider of happiness im going to lose it

[-] MaxHedrome@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Apple to pause business operations at Apple because Apple backs slave labor.

[-] ummyeahreddit@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Just a pause. Wait a week for it to blow over then funnel money to him again
