Warner Bros. Discovery, Disney, NBCUniversal, and Lionsgate Pause All Ad Spending on X/Twitter

Tech companies like Apple and IBM have also suspended advertising on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

All these companies should have rushed to exits earlier. Melon has said, endorsed, and done miles of horrendous things at this point, a fraction of which have been pointed out in this thread.

Disney and WBD were still advertising with Melon’s hellscape but are pausing.

The high-profile advertiser revolt includes some of the world’s largest media companies, such as Disney, Paramount, NBCUniversal, Comcast, Lionsgate and Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent of CNN.

Everyone that runs back to giving him money didn’t learn anything.

None of this should be coming as a surprise. These companies shouldn’t have returned in the first place.

He REALLY wants people to PAY for Twitter. I can't do it simply on principle. I was there LONG before he probably was and before the site became... Whatever it's trying to be now.

For all his talk about free speech, I feel like the OG Twitter had more of that. And that was 15 years ago.

She was only hired to have another face to deflect to while acting as Melon’s parrot on his shoulder.

I would like to hear his excuse on how its free speech when he Bans things left and right he doesnt like.
He throws a tantrum screaming about free speech, while there is a long list of things he banned.
The little child literally banned "CIS" while running Nazi ads that say factual worse things.

And of course the same that scream "attack on free speech" and "hate freedom" are the ones that are still angry Bud sent a Trans person one can of beer.

It is about time that Musks card house falls together, i dont want to wait any longer before the richest man in the world loses everything.
