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

"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.”"

He's gone crazy from power. People like that are dangerous.

[zerofk@lemm.ee]

Just fire some people, that’ll drive profits up.

[archrecord@lemm.ee]

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.

Not if there's fewer there to see ads

But you usually pay per click or impression, not a flat rate. So that alone shouldn't be a reason for them to stop advertising there

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

He would wish that he did. He hates his kids

[roofuskit@lemmy.world]

He built a compound for all his kids and baby mommas to live at. I'm sure he excluded his trans kid from that though.

[cilethesane@lemmy.ca]

And he's now President of the US so he gets to make the laws.

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.

[citizenkong@lemmy.world]

And he bought the position fair and square.

[squizzy@lemmy.world]

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.

[angryrobot@lemmy.world]

Yea, in a sane justice system, that one tweet would rpget this case thrown out on day 1. In the world we now live in, I'm not so sure.

[glitterbomb@lemmy.world]

I'm kind of alright with them accumulating some level of wealth, if the result is that they get a little trophy, a little island, and all their money redistributed. Like, congrats you won, now fuck off and let someone else win too.

[jj4211@lemmy.world]

I think the attempted argument is anti-competitive collusion among all these companies. That GARM, fundamentally, is illegal as an anti-competitive initiative.

[absgeeknz@lemmy.nz]

Life goals, don't fuck up so bad that even Nestle wont work with you!

[rumba@lemmy.zip]

Free the Super Mario Brothers!

[drdeadcrash@programming.dev]

That's what we just tried (over the past century), when we gave an inch they took the whole god damn country. I don't think the compromise approach will ever work.
