X expands lawsuit over advertiser ‘boycott’ to include Lego, Nestlé, Pinterest, and others | TechCrunch

No, the case is that advertisers used a service that monitored advertising platforms on their quality, like being family friendly and keeping things within the law. When they advised their customers that they could no longer vouch for X, many advertisers followed their guidance.

Obviously they are in their right to do so, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with the procedures that were followed, like it was NOT cartel or any other kind of shenanigans by the users of that service.

But Musk being a paranoid malignant narcissistic crybaby, saw it as a conspiracy directed against him personally. And the guy has more money than sense, so he is trying to make a huge issue out of it.

Luckily USA is a nation of law, so he won't get anywhere with that, just like he wouldn't get away with calling people pedophiles for no other reason than to offend them. Thank god USA isn't corrupt as hell, so we can trust the courts to do the right thing. /s

What about capital markets and the freedom to choose where to spend your money? Elmo can go get pegged by Trump.

Musk is not just supporting Nazis, is a flaming Nazi himself.

[buffalox@lemmy.world]

Wuaahh wuaahh wuaahh.
Musk will cry about this, about how he was so unfairly treated, from his cell in the insane asylum that I expect him to be in in about 10 years the way he has been getting worse for the past 10 years.

How long until Tesla sues me for buying a Toyota?

Oh yes Nestle, the infamously lefty liberals.

They can peg eachother. "Ass to ass!"

[roofuskit@lemmy.world]

Yes but this all happened before he even went full mask off.

[buffalox@lemmy.world]

Yes it absolutely did, but the platform was not run responsibly, and contained hate speech. Musk even claimed the Nazi content besides adverts was a rare fluke.
Which is obvious today is not true. What Musk may really want, is to normalize Nazi content.

If suing companies for not advertising on your platform made any sense, porn sites could sue almost the whole economy.

Unfortunately he sued in the North District of Texas, which is a maga kangaroo court

YouTube 10 years ago: we’re becoming as straight-edged as possible to keep advertisers around

Twitter now: Fuck you (wait we needed you)

[ivanafterall@lemmy.world]

Let me ask you this: how many ads have you run on Twitter? Does that strike you as fair?

[jeremyhuntqw12@lemmy.world]

Laws introduced to prevent people from boycotting israeli companies allow Musk to sueanyone who won't advertise on X for political reasons.

And no, the first amendment doesn't protect speech for private companies.

He'll win.
