IBM, a major advertiser on X, has pulled its spending from the social media platform, whose employees are grappling with what to tell its other advertisers, according to internal messages.
To be clear: Musk endorsed a tweet which used a false antisemitic conspiracy theory to tell people why “Hitler was right”
I don’t think there will be much damage. It’s not as though this were some huge surprise. The only people left on X agree with him or don’t care enough to mildly adjust their habits. I saw that IBM “paused” their ads, but I’d bet a nickel they will resume them once this blows over. They know what Xitter is. All the corporations know and don’t care. This very article on the NYT website has a button to share it on Twitter.
Not true. Lots of are still there because lots are still there. You see they tried to move to Mastadon, but obviously were confused. They leave like three accounts on three different instances with a few posts about being confused or not getting on with Mastadon.

“If 10 people are sitting at a table being civil to 1 nazi, there are 11 nazis at the table.”
That’s just a rubbish oneliner to make people think they’re smart. It’s the first time I stumble upon it, but its up there with “Live Laugh Love”, “never say never” and “you only live once”…
Nah, it’s a really useful tool for identifying assholes and bigots.
I’d have a civilised discussion with everyone, especially irl, even if they’d killed my brother, and not reject them before a conversation just based on their beliefs or actions… I may well reject them for not being able to discuss or argue, but dialogue is always the way to approach a dispute
