The frivolous lawsuit worked then.

Musk: starts allowing Nazi shit on Xitter

Advertiisers: Hey, we don't like Nazi shit. We might stop advertising if that keeps happening.

Musk: Go fuck yourself. Is that clear? I hope it is.

Advertisers: stop doing business with the guy who told them to go fuck themselves

Today, the House Judiciary GOP's official account on X called GARM being discontinued a "big win for the First Amendment" and a "big win for oversight." X CEO Linda Yaccarino also applauded the news.

It's just opposite day? We just say whatever is the opposite of what's true?

He literally bullied a non-profit organisation set in the world to use advertisement money responsible into ceasing operations.

Loss for the world once again, and the article even says that Republicans celebrated. That country is sick.

THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING.
He didn't shut down advertisers, he shut down an organisation for best practices in advertising.

Wiki World Federation of Advertisers

WFA's aim is to champion effective and sustainable marketing communications worldwide. ..

...WFA formed the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM), a global cross-industry alliance which aims to improve digital safety and eliminate harmful online content....The alliance has introduced guidelines concerning misinformation and new standards on ad placements...

...WFA is a founding member of the Unstereotype Alliance, UN Women's flagship partnership with the marketing industry to eradicate harmful gender stereotypes in advertising...It is also a founding member of the Coalition for Better Ads, a cross-industry initiative to improve consumers’ experience with online advertising.

WFA holds Global Marketer Week, a series of events bringing together brand marketers to learn about the latest public affairs issues and best practice in marketing.

Even if this group shuts down completely, all this does is waste twitter's money while it also tells advertisers to stay the fuck away from ever do any business on Twitter.

Sounds to me like all advertisers should just assume that on Xitter, their ads will show alongside Nazi/Alt-Right/Hateful content. GARM, the project that Elmo just killed, used to inform them when that sort of thing happened. So with the warning system down, Ad companies should revert to a fail-safe state and abandon the platform completely.

And the rest of us should ABSOLUTELY make a habit of blasting out screenshots of ads next to heinous shit, and ask the company why they support that kind of content.

Note to myself: Whenever I do contracts or somehow being responsible, I‘ll put a proxy company in between. If things go bad, I just shut down that responsible proxy and am out of duty.

Just an interesting observation about business behavior.

I feel like this will only hurt him in the long term, advertisers in general are probably more likely to avoid X in the future. I know I would.

jk rowling, elon musk.. what is it with billionaires suing people to silence criticism

That's a SLAPP suit.

Do what other businesses do - just reincorporate under a different name

I wish Elon treated the whole planet like his children.

He would just jet off and never communicate again, we would be free of this cancer for good.

They are getting all this great free press about why to avoid Musk, must have figured their job is done.

Why can’t he shut down already?

I heard the new club is going to be called thenoelons and Elon Lindenstrauss is going to be a member.
