Good. They don't get to fucking bully whoever they want.

Elon didn't like their shit, and called them on it.

And they fucking cried and gave up, right away. lmao

Hey

You aren't advertising with me. Stop bullying me and give me money.

If you don't give me money right now, you're bullying me.

Yep, the irony of two bullies calling each other bullies is awesome to watch!

But Elon won, cuz the other side shut down quick! lmao

What did he win? They aren't going to resume advertising with him. They got out of the lawsuit without having to pay lawyers or change their behavior. What did he win?

So do you honestly think he just wanted their money?

You don't think that Elon Musk is over there laughing because they dropped the lawsuit, and thinking that he's top dog cuz they went away?

Have you seen his ego?

I mean, I like Elon, but he's def a slave to his ego. I still like him, but come on...lol

He started a legal fight with someone, they backed down. Money losses or not, he definitely won. Because they dropped.

And he is grinning.

I mean, I def would prefer money. But I don't think that's always his goal.

I mean, I like Elon

Honest question, why?

Because he has the balls to do what he wants. Even when all you guys scream and cry.

Regardless of whether you like him or hate him, he works hard, gets shit done. Even if you don't like it.

Now having said that, I also don't give a shit if he loses it all. I admire him, but I don't worship him.

And I fucking LOVE what he did with Twitter. Liberals cry censorship now that it doesn't always favor them on the platform, but they laughed when republicans cried censorship on the old twitter.

By the way, censorship sucks regardless of platform. I just find it laughingly ironic how you all cry now, but where laughing then.

In other words, you think it's fine to censor republican stuff. But get fucking mad when democrat stuff gets censored.

You all were doing the same fucking thing!

Regardless of whether you like him or hate him, he works hard, gets shit done. Even if you don’t like it.

The guy is terminally online talking shit on xitter all day how the fuck he works hard?

I don't get it. Elon didn't win a thing, he lost harder.

He complained advertisers were banding together and boycotting his platform. He starts a frivolous lawsuit.

So now even more advertisers are boycotting his platform.

how do you mean? they just "hydra'd" on him. If he wants to sue them now for leaving xitter he will have to go after them individually.

you hate people bullying people yet you love elon bullying a non profit into silence?

also this isn't going to bring advertisers to twitter.

A multi-billion dollar social media company sued an ad industry group that was trying to have help companies have some kind of brand safety standards to prevent a company's ads from appearing next to objectionable content. They reportedly had two full-time staff members. This isn't some big win, it's bullying itself.
