@xDaily

NEWS: Paramount Global is also suspending advertising on X

The list now includes Apple, Disney, Warner, Paramount Global and Lionsgate.

@elonmusk

Premium+ also has no ads in your timeline.

Many of the largest advertisers are the greatest oppressors of your right to free speech.

Declining to purchase advertising in not oppressing free speech.

Regardless the tagging of Musk as a promoter of Anti-Semitism is BS.

This is from the other day and now advertisers are cancelling

It’s not a coincidence. They’re anti-white which is ironic

Lurker says he should ban the ADL. etc. I think he should and it would make a statement

Very interesting Musk is taking on the powerful forces out there and it is about business Musk’s business activities and those who oppose them in high places.

Look at the institutional ownership.

The corporations are controlled by Deep State.

It now appears that “anti-Semitism” will be the new battering ram to disrupt if not destroy freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and freedom of association.

The people on xDaily think Musk’s tweets (posts) are a problem and he should perhaps refrain from posting.

Tough position to be in.

It would basically mean he has to shut up if he wants those advertisers back.

I dont think he will...

Yes, there is irony in announcing on X that you will longer advertise on X.

Battering ram is a good description euram

They’re trying to intimidate Musk or dictate policy in some way.

It’s more than just declining to advertise as Round Earther implies.

I believe they’re making certain demands again. They have done this in the past i.e certain prominent accounts should be banned.

Musk won’t do it.

His own personal posts might also be a problem.

Remember he is privy to more info than us so he knows what’s going on here.

Yes good point.

But really, if Musks posts are a problem in that thread I posted the other day these corporations are insulting 10s of millions - or even hundreds of millions - of Americans!

I don’t understand it myself.

That's because many conservatives will support anti-"hate speech" laws if the issue is "anti-semitism."

Gov. DeSantis signs law cracking down on hate speech, says Florida ‘led the way’ fighting antisemitism.
