How long until Tesla sues me for buying a Toyota?
Currently scheduled for 18th of March.
Just in time for Toyotathon
Or is Toyotathon in time for this? The world may never know…
In a sane world, this lawsuit would be laughed out of court.
It’s harder to laugh it out of court when the plaintiff is in the government himself.
I’m torn about disliking this douchebag and liking that Nestlé is getting sued…
On the scale of who is fucking up the world more, I’d have to award the trophy to Leon. Certainly fuck Nestle, but won’t someone please rid us of this meddlesome billionaire?
Elon is a twat and a menace for sure, but Nestlé have employed business strategies that literally killed infants and caused malnourishment…they are a completely different league of evil, far far worse than what Elon has done so far.
Key part of that sentence is “so far”
“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.””
“We’re barely breaking even” mate, you’re supposedly in the business of online services since the late 90s, you should know that they’re generally “barely breaking even”
I wasn’t aware Twitter was even breaking even in thd first place
Just fire some people, that’ll drive profits up.
All the defense has to do is play the clip of him openly telling advertisers not to advertise and he’ll get laughed out of court.
Most politicians are bought for less than a million. The guy has hundreds of billions. I imagine he can buy a few judges along the way.
Possibly, but none of those bought judges matter unless it ends up in their specific court. That’s why they’ve been trying to install as many of their own as possible.
Unfortunately he sued in the North District of Texas, which is a maga kangaroo court
How dare your company not advertise on my company cause I’m a racist wanna be nazi twat.
Suing companies for not advertising on a platform For Nazis, By Nazis™. 🤡
What an ugly fuck Elon is. Ewwww
He’s gone crazy from power. People like that are dangerous.
P.S. He acts like some Russian government official tied to organised crime, who now think he owns this country and can do anything in there.
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.
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.
Like Tom from MySpace. Dude sold it off and now lives a carefree life pursuing photography
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.
Money are just an instrument for power. These are narcissists/psychopaths/power abusers/sociopaths/gangsters/criminals
i wounder if he will actually get a court to order that every person in the world owes him money.
cause that seems to be what he is working towards.
No, the case is that advertisers used an Ad Advisory Group called GARM, 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 making 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
On the other hand we also have EU warning against advertising on X:
https://www.euronews.com/next/2023/11/17/eu-commission-advises-services-to-stop-advertising-on-elon-musks-xEU warning against advertising on X
… and Musk supporting anti-EU parties.
The eu commission warning was officially only aimed at their internal services, it wasn’t a mandate that all organisations within the eu should stop advertising on x. Though it wouldn’t surprise me if it comes to a total ban in the eu, X is already under investigation for disinformation.
Let me ask you this: how many ads have you run on Twitter? Does that strike you as fair?
What about capital markets and the freedom to choose where to spend your money? Elmo can go get pegged by Trump.
They can peg eachother. “Ass to ass!”
))<>((
forever
And no lube.
It’s a Good Thing Elon doesn’t Own the DOJ!
Oh yes Nestle, the infamously lefty liberals.
Hey Elmo, you told the advertisers to “go fuck yourself” in no uncertain terms, even repeating yourself for dramatic effect.
Hey I’ve got an idea Elmo. Go fuck yourself.
i don’t understand how it’s a boycott or how is illegal or unfair
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.
And he’s now President of the US so he gets to make the laws.
And he bought the position fair and square.
Criminal contempt of business model
