Elon Musk, the owner of X, criticized advertisers with expletives on Wednesday at The New York Times’s DealBook Summit.
And I’m just sitting here waiting for a Bluesky invite.
I’ve got five if you want one!
Sure!
Others have commented that it’s no better. But I’d still like to try it out!
Thanks!
I just realized I have no idea how to send messages in kbin so I can send you the code. I’ll pop it in here, and hopefully you’ll get it and no one will snipe it. If someone does, message me and I’ll give you another code. bsky-social-gzfm2-2azpl
It seems someone has used it up. It’ll have to be a private message
I’ve got 4 more, so BOO to the jerk who used it, but I still got you. Send me a message or give me your Mastodon info, and I’ll get one to you.
I’ll ping you on mastodon
And here’s the jerk who stole your code. All they had to do was ask and I’d have given them a code, but no, they had to be why the internet is shit.
Elon: Go fuck yourself advertisers
Advertisers: Understandable, have a nice day [doubles spend on other platforms]
I don’t see how anyone expected this to end. I for one am hoping for a fatal ketamine od.
Huh. I wonder why Saudi Arabia isn’t demanding their $22B back.
They’ll get some of it back when they sell his kidneys
He’s starting to look like Charlie’s mom from always sunny
He doesn’t seem well. He sounds like someone that desperately needs help. Even though I think he is a giant piece of shit, I hope he has someone around him that can get him some help. Perhaps selling Twitter or just shutting it down could be part of the solution. If nothing is done, I’m afraid this guy will end up as a case of drug overdose or suicide.
Nah man, this is the closest he will ever get for punishment for the horrible things he has done to his employees, to the actual green movement and climate change, and public discourse via Twitter.
He shouldn’t even have government contracts because he readily admits he abuses drugs. But I guess rules are just for plebes like us, right?
No, fuck him, let him spiral, and I hope he fucking loses it all and kills himself.
Fucking worthless. Up there with fucking Kissinger. Both can rot in fucking hell, for all I care.
I endorse this message
Poor Linda Yaccarino (current CEO of Twitter). She must be wondering what in the actual ### did I get myself into…
But she was all excited to turn it around.
How could she not know ?
Poor?
She’s making bank having to do nothing and anything that runs X into the ground is easy to point at Musk.
She has an absolutely sweet deal.
Trump supporters generally don’t ask those kind of questions of themselves. Like Trump, they like to pretend they’re always endlessly self-assured in their thoughts and actions, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
People shocked that she’s a fucking garbage CEO just didn’t know about her past as a garbage head of a department.
I’m serious about the Trump supporting thing, too. She’s a Trump supporter. The fucking stupidity and doubling down on said stupidity is required for that.
They werent coming back anyways.fuckem
Didn’t he say he would crush twitter to stop that kid that was tracking his plane ?
or did i make that up ?
that kid that was tracking his plane
that account does not appear to be very active, probably because … omg keeping these going must be a full time job https://grndcntrl.net/links/

Finally. Took them long enough.
This.
There are so many media institutions and slebs who have and still are giving twitter all its content .
They are complicit in this.
I hope more people and businesses come to their senses and move to mastodon.
More? Is anyone in Mastodon?
I hope the businesses who come do like the BBC and spin up their own server. I don’t want them making accounts on places like Lemmy, like reddit, where someone is having their username taken away now for ‘trademark infringement.’ Username was “FoodNetwork.”
The fact that reddit just letting business steal fucking usernames is god damned vile.
Problem is, advertisers likely do not want to go on mastodon because they can’t advertise there
And that’s a feature not a bug. A lot are waiting on how ad sales will play out on Threads I bet.
Companies give a shit about giving us information. It’s all about the advertising, so they will flock to the next closed-source company-controlled shithole.
Oh shit call tmz!
Aww. The whores don’t want to hang out on my corner anymore.
Is he in Scientology? He’s gone off the cliff like most of them do.
No, he is just a man child who was forced into dumping billions into a social media platform because he sucks at trolling.
That’s the funny thing; he wasn’t forced into it. He could have just paid $1bn for his idiotic 420 joke (or probably much less if he’d settled out of court) and gotten away without any further damage. But instead, he took out a $13 billion loan and spent another $21bn of his own money for it. So instead of setting $1bn or less on fire, he set $34 billion on fire. Plus the additional money that his idiotic compatriots put up. This truly is the dumbest timeline.
Edit: He also ended up selling a shit load of his TSLA stock to make one of his payments to the bank, which caused tesla to tank in the market costing him untold billions as well. He is not a smart man.
He could have just paid $1bn for his idiotic 420 joke (or probably much less if he’d settled out of court) and gotten away without any further damage.
No. That’s only if the deal didn’t work for external reasons.
He’s trying to find a scapegoat to blame for destroying the company, and he seems to think he’s found it in the advertisers that are withdrawing their money.
Don’t forget his “lawsuit” against Media Matters.
Benny “Dry Humping Only” Shapiro is calling it an attempt to silence Musk and an attack on free speech
These guys never showed up for fifth grade civics
I think they have, they just know their base is easy to manipulate.
