"The radio belongs to us, no one else. And we will put the radio in the service of our idea, and no other idea shall have a voice here." - Goebbels "The press of Italy is free, freer than the press of any other country, so long as it supports the regime." - Mussolini

And, yes, the whole system is broken now, or being broken in real time. And nothing, you can call real, is happening from any opposition party or movement. This is a perfect storm of bad-faith actors in collusion to undermine democracy.

Like a Mafia don’s wife.

love ya Scott baby!!💗

We need an active list of companies advertising on Twitter. Consumer power is our only way to fight back

Linda Yaccarino can suck my banned accounts.

Extremely problematic, but the only new aspect of this type of tactic is that it’s driven by a private citizen. LBJ, for example, used the presidency to pressure newspaper owners into giving him favorable coverage by threatening the owners’ other businesses.

Everyone should leave that hellscape "X." All this is going to just explode in all their faces. "X" is a desperately fascist platform, and does not deserve any success for all their relentless hate and derision.

Fuck them.

Another, in a long line of people without morals. We should humiliate these people in public at every chance we get.

Wait for the: "Buy a Tesla, or else..."

Unfortunately the "tough guy" crowd is "all in". Ex-military, jocks, etc. Very sad they are this gullible.

So much for freedom of speech. RIP 1st Amendment. It was nice knowing you.

I helped run several accounts there over the years. It was great a year or two ago, but has been pretty heavy going for some time. It's just not worth the effort. No clients currently run accounts there.

When Business Insider reached out to IPG seeking comment on the story, they gave a complete non-answer, so not denying it. Which… hey Business Insider, you can’t exactly act shocked and appalled by this after carrying his water last year.

Agency hold co’s will fold like wet noodles, their clients will suffer. The ad biz is already riddled with corrupt tech and players so this is a slam dunk for Elon

Jesus wept isn't that illegal, it's racketeering isn't it?

Truly the worst people. Just some everyday extortion.

LOL!! arrogance always destroys

That’s just gross

🤣🤬🤬🤬

They're not even hiding the corruption any more.

🤞 Everybody, soon or late, sits down to a banquet of consequences.* - yer boy Robert Louis Stevenson *yes, I just googled “quotes about consequences”

So, if every normal company thinks that X is shit for advertising, it must be collusion? Forcing Mars to advertise M&Ms next to S&M seems pretty non-American.

What kind of title gore is that? Jfc, how the WSJ has fallen 🤦

Cuz that's how FMC works.

How the hell can you make a business advertise? 🙄

So DOGE is nothing but a business strategy to get more business for Twitter? How didn’t anyone see that coming? (*looking for the sarcasm font*)

Because they are all about the free market, free speech, individual choice ... blah, blah blah. So infuriating.

We put the Mafia in charge of America. All the dead 60's Lefty's are laughing their ass off in their graves.

They should run ads that are little civics lessons on democracy and warnings against tyranny.

Another soulless monster.

I work at an ad agency owned by IPG. Our clients don't want their brands associated with X because of how toxic it's become. It's not up to us whether or not to advertise there, it's up to our clients. Going after the holding company is a total dipshit move.

Already gone.

Of course she is

$288M to save $44B - quite the ROI

Literally, you dipped, you took a bite and you dipped again. A double dipper.

We should stop the free (and unlimited) supply of monetizable inventory they get from us. Stop scrolling, talk with real people. I have done this, LIFE IS GREAT!

The complainants can’t afford to go toe-to-toe. He’s doing lawfare of attrition.

X is a cancerous hellhole loaded with phony bots and paved with sticky tar of noxious toxicity. Advertise there at your peril.

Maybe tell Linda to knock off the crap or her "or else" is going to be prison time for attempted extortion.

How F*cking dare she!

Everyone must get out of X now.

Isn’t this extortion? What state did she make these threats in? What state were the threats received in? What state prosecutor can investigate these claims?

TAXPAYER STRIKE! let’s make these seditionists pay! Don’t file or pay your federal income tax in April—they just fired 8,000 IRS EMPLOYEES Pass the word #taxstrike

Good thing you have dual citizenship Scott.

It's called extortion, a crime.

Boycott Tesla and his other companies. Protest at them as well

She sold her soul when she joined him, but this is next level.

It's amusing, in a more-than-slightly disgusting way, to see Big Media caving to President Musk right about the time that everyone but fascists has stopped reading anything posted on Xitter at all.

Not very free market of Twitter, now is it?

great sales technique

When will media outlets put the truth in their headlines knowing that only a small fraction read the articles??

When companies say the quiet part out loud it gets easier.

They should ask why they should invest in a dying media platform.
