Welp, time to set up a lemonade stand and sue everybody who didn’t stop to buy my $5000 cups of watered-down kool-aid.
Man who told advertisers to go fuck themselves sues advertisers for not spending money on his platform.
I’m sure this will be sure to bring in tons of advertising dollars to Der Xitter.
I ain’t no genius, but maybe the advertisers are busy fucking themselves as per Elon’s suggestion. 🤷♂️
Ah yes, suing your customers is a brilliant way to get more people to buy your stuff.
Wow, I didn’t think he could top his past idiocy, but this is pretty impressive. “You were unfair to me because I’m a terrible piece of shit and you didn’t want the association of your brand and my nazi site so you owe me money!” It’s just incredible.
Hat tip, Lonnie. You’ve outdone yourself again.
Being a lawyer and working for someone like Musk must be both rewarding and embarrassing at the same time.
Rewarding because you can accurately gauge exactly how much smarter you are than the world’s richest man?
Or rewarding because you get to burden the legal system with all those hypotheticals that the one troll in your law classes kept asking and your professors kept claiming “no judge would ever entertain that idea”?
I assumed rewarding as in another house and stable work
rewarding
lucrative, yes… rewarding? maybe not so much.
Advertisers have given me no moneys either.
Send cheque plz.
I’d really love to see fElon get what he wants here. One paid ad from all the companies.
“Elon fucks kids”
Can I chip in on this…?
Send cheque plz
I read that in the voice of Mona-Lisa Saperstein from Parks and Rec
Money pweeez!
yeah damnit, I waste my personal time having to watch the damn things. Advertisers should be paying us for the privilege of our attention.
Mandatory product purchasing. The ultimate capitalist’s wet dream…
Just like vehicle insurance.
Technically, buying a vehicle isn’t mandatory
Ladies and gentlemen if the jury, I present to you Exhibit A.
That is all, I rest my case. Thank you.
Goddamn he looks so punchable
Imagine the prosecuting attorney in the opening scene of Better Call Saul, coming into the court room with a tape of this in his hand.
Without saying a word, the tv cart is pushed into the court room and he slowly pushed the tape in.
The entire court room stays silent as the video is played, with the lone exception of Musk who is tweeting about how unfair the judge is.
“Free speech absolutionist” my ass
His “Free Speech Absolutionism” is just… Freedom from any consequences for what you say… Which is also a really stupid thought process…
I didn’t know we could be entitled to advertisement money. Hang on while I sue Unilever for some free money in return for wearing a sandwich board with their logo on it
Your honor, I demand they like me. Why doesn’t anyone like me…
Something, something, free market something
What a pinheaded twit.
ELI5 by Claude 3.5 Sonnet:
Imagine you have a big playground where lots of kids come to play and talk. This playground is called X (it used to be called Twitter). One day, some grown-ups who make toys and candy decided they didn’t want to let kids play with their stuff on this playground. They told other grown-ups not to bring their toys there either.
The person in charge of the playground, Linda, thinks this isn’t fair. She says the playground is better than ever, with more kids playing and having fun.
Linda is upset because the grown-ups are being mean and not sharing their toys, even though the playground is safe and fun. So now, she’s telling a teacher (which is like a judge for grown-ups) that these people are being unfair and breaking the rules.
She wants the teacher to make them play fair and bring their toys back to the playground. Linda thinks this will make the playground even better for all the kids who like to play there.
holy shit i honestly don’t know whether i hate twatter/muks more or advertisers more–is it possible for them to both lose, please?
