    I too would like to sue the advertisers for boycotting my Breaking Bad erotic fan fiction page. That includes you Musk. I expect Twitter to start sending the checks next month. Or I guess I’ll see you in court.

        Wasn’t there a text with this image?

        Something about bodies being buried, and asking the reader to pray to not add to it?

        Just maximum levels of wannabe edgy cringe, and he looks like he’s over 20.

    I wasn’t aware you can sue your customers when they decide to not give you their business anymore.

    Imagine Walmart suing people, because they shop somewhere else now. Or your plumber because you called someone else to unclog your toilet.

    It doesn’t sound like Musk is suing them because they broke any contracts, just that several big advertiser spoke to each other and decided not to renew contracts because of rising antisemitism, hates peach and fake news.

    I mean, I tell people for 30 years not to buy Nestlé products because of their disregard for human rights. Can Nestlé now sue me too?

    Such a free speech absolutist. Wanting the government to compel companies to pay to speak on the private platform that he owns. Some real Trickle down free speech

    1. Ruin a popular site at a blistering pace driving away users.
    2. Criticize advertisers for also leaving and tell them to leave if they don’t like step 1.
    3. Sue said advertisers for leaving.
    4. No one wants to advertise with you.
    5. Surprise pikachu.jpg

    Did I miss anything?

    The Belgium-based World Federation of Advertisers and representatives for CVS, Orsted, Mars and Unilever didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment Tuesday.

    Good luck trying to sue a foreign organization for refusing to do business with your US-based company.
