For a free market capitalist, you sure aren't into free markets! Advertisers have the absolute choice and freedom to choose who they want to advertise with. If your site doesn't meet their needs (via antisemitism and unchecked Nazis), they don't have to use your platform.

What's next, suing users who don't want to buy the bluecheck or who also use threads?

Have you tried not being whiny losers undermining their own brand that self-owned so hard it could have given Groupon execs whiplash? https://t.co/Z0QQrAPOWY

Claiming some sort of right to advertising dollars is actually possibly the stupidest argument I’ve ever seen https://t.co/Y3cKJMYQRW

So you're saying Twitter went anti-woke, and then went super broke. Weird how reality works, huh? https://t.co/AtyFbW75kS

Elon Musk thinks he can sue to force businesses to pay him advertising money. This the most entitled rich fuck asshole move ever. What a pasty privileged douche. pic.twitter.com/fzrMsrA1CA

This will be Exhibit 1, if the case ever makes it to court.
Here's @elonmusk telling boycotting advertisers, "don't advertise" and "go fuck yourself".
And now you're gonna sue them for not advertising?
Good luck with that. https://t.co/w7wVzW0O6d pic.twitter.com/qqfkiHwGur— N O S ⋊ Ɔ I ᴚ ᴚ Ǝ ᗡ ⊥ ⊥ O Ɔ S (@scottderrickson) August 6, 2024
