"What this advertising boycott is going to do is it's going to kill the company, and the whole world will know that those advertisers killed the company and we will document it in great detail," Musk said.

No need, you making twitter toxic to advertisers and the resulting fallout is already very well documented.

Even if it wasn't obvious that he is the problem, he's underestimating how many people think that toxic shithole has run its course already. Those advertisers might as well be cheered for it.

I actually really feel bad for Grimes now. If this is at all indicative of how he acts in personal relationships, he had to have been emotionally abusing and gaslighting her.

She chose to stay and have more than one child with him. I don't feel sorry for her. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice though?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

That's true of plenty of abused women.

[-] atrielienz@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

And a lot of them can't be saved unless they're willing to admit there is a problem and seek help. This is a woman who has a lot of resources at her disposal that a whole lot of domestic abuse victims regardless of gender do not have.

The fight we had after you caught me cheating killed our relationship. It's your fault, and I'm going to tell all your friends.

[-] JustZ@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

What is this dude thinking? Who cares what he documents. What is he even talking about?

[-] sturmblast@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

He's defending himself... I guess, due to some antisemitic remarks he made recently and all his advertisers are bailing on xtwitter. So he said 'fuck you' to the advertisers and accused them of blackmail basically. So, ya know, billionaire fascist shit.

. So, ya know, billionaire fascist shit.

AKA

The flailing infantile tantruming of someone who is not used to facing repercussions for their actions.

I interpreted that as a veiled threat of reprisal against the companies boycotting it. Maybe that's a darker way of thinking about it, but I wouldn't be too surprised.

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

h eliterally said he had a graveyard full of his enemies.

I dont think you are being too dark in thinking hes threatening people for not obeying his brilliant magnificence.

[-] ManOMorphos@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Yea. It's a very detached and odd statement he said, but I'm still wondering why not many are drawing the line to that. For the record I doubt he can do much damage to these corporations himself.

"I'm not wrong, it's everyone else's fault for not seeing how great I am."

[-] prole@sh.itjust.works 9 points 11 months ago

Lol what an idiot. Truly.

[-] interceder270@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Pretty sure they can switch advertisers and pay everyone less if they really want to stay in business.

Heck, reducing salaries could actually make twitter profitable for once.
