Man I'm super glad this guy can't run for president
For now. You know what the Supreme Court will be paid to do.
I can even outline it now. They will argue it violates the civil rights amendment which as it came later means it has higher priority over what came earlier. Then they will find some letter written by a random Founding Father arguing that the law should be written to only apply to members of nobility. There you go an Originalist argument against plain reading.
And now you know why he's donating to the Trump campaign.
Because with the shift of power with project 2025 he can actually do this.
What’s this? Another petty tyrant king demanding taxes from his serfs? These billionaires are fucked up in the head. They can’t just sit back, killing their livers, getting drunk and wasted on drugs on their yachts. No, they have to bend the world to their will at the expense of everyone else living in it. Even then, that isn’t enough.
But the free market....
To that we say... Go fuck yourself?
As earth is my witness, I promise I did not do any drugs before coming here.
Earth will know the truth!
If we go bankrupt, it's all those pesky customers running away. Just because we are Nazis. And now they are colluding against Nazism!
advertising is the only competitive market left. I guess its easier for his ego to rationalize that everyone is teaming up against him than admit he's a moron.
So that is why he is donating to the Trump campaign. Best to get in the list of people he wishes to be persecuted sooner than later. Apparently it's first come first serve.
Just as long as "serve" doesn't mean "pay" because then it's first come never serve.
But if I call for slavers to get the blade, I'm somehow the bad guy.
slavers? Where’s that come into this?
Didn't Musk tell his advertisers to leave the platform if they didn't like Twitter anymore? Wouldn't that alone make any tort dead upon filing?
Yeah it ties up a few billable hours but we're not exactly talking about companies that can't afford it.
Didn't he tell them to "go fuck yourselves"?
Yeah, he said something like “You try to blackmail me? With money? Go fuck yourselves”.
Til not buying things is blackmailing companies
Well I heard about a guy that told the collective advertisres of the platform to "go fuck themselves", maybe this guy should be investigated.
I was really hoping someone else said it already, but... is this really "Technology news"? It's about a billionaire and advertising on his social media website.
Social media's impact on society is relevant to technology. I would even say it is one of the most important questions in relation to technology today. So, how an owner tries to silence criticisms of his social media site for spreading fascism seems relevant to me.
Meanwhile, toilets lobby to jail everyone that refuses to eat out of them.
