They are circiling the wagons around the regime.

Elon is coming after them with law suites at Media Matters.

I would bet every CEO is antisemitic.

“Elon is coming after them with law suites [sic] at Media Matters.”

He said he’d hit Media Matters with a thermonuclear lawsuit (whatever that would look like) as soon as the courts opened today, yet it’s now after the courts have closed and there hasn’t been a peep.

“I would bet every CEO is antisemitic.”

That seems a stretch, but it’s irrelevant. Musk was the one who was called out and Musk was the one who claimed he’d sue over it. [He hasn’t.]

This is what got his drawers knotted up: Media Matters claimed ads from top corporate brands were running alongside white nationalist and pro-Nazi content. Which they were.

It’s not his responsibility to show you facts.

Disprove him.

Musk is in no way a Jew hater like 100% if DemonRats.

Not by design. It’s an algorithm.

Also, as stated above, Media Matters (a far left liberal hate machine with a fraudulent 501 C 3 designation) created fake accounts and posted the crap themselves.

Go away nookie. Try DU.

“Disprove him.”

I don’t have to. I’m not suing him.

He, on the other hand, is the one threatening to sue another party over a report that accurately showed by black and white evidence that major advertisers had their ads placed next to Nazi tweets.

Musk is the one who needs to provide proof, not me. Or at least he would if he lives up to his threat of suing.

The “evidence “ is manufactured.

If the tweets were fraudulently posted or not isn’t material to an advertiser. The placement demonstrated that Musk can’t be bothered to protect advertisers.

If you or I posted Nazi garbage here it would be taken down in 60 seconds and we would be banned.

“The ‘evidence’ is manufactured.”

Neither Musk or his CEO has made that claim, but if it’s true then he’ll undoubtedly demonstrate that in the thermonuclear lawsuit he babbled about, if he ever gets around to filing it.

Again, the ads aren’t placed. Algorithms post them automatically.

My restaurant ads show up in strange places on FB and X and Google. A friend on Google was searching for the best margarita in town and my ad popped up. Only because I have a Margarita pizza on the menu.

Yellow Pages were easier! HA

Read post #13 again.

Media Matters is a scumbag leftist group of agitators. Dan Abrams is an ass.

Based on this comment, you don't understand what actually happened.

Media Matters created an X account which they used to do multiple "Nazi" searches, likely things like "kill the Jews" or "Hitler was right". This seeded the AI algorithms that try to match ads with searches.

Media Matters was then treating X like a slot machine. They kept pressing enter until the reels lined up with a Nazi ad and a client ad.

Then they pounced.

They took screen shots of the business ads next to Nazi ads and then went to the businesses to get them to boycott X.

Musk's internal metrics shows that the offensive combination of ads was only served briefly, was a fraction of the combination of ads served, and was only seen by the writer of the Media Matters article accusing X of anti-semitism.

“Media Matters created an X account which they used to do multiple “Nazi” searches, likely things like “kill the Jews” or “Hitler was right”.

______________________________________________

So Media Matters didn’t create the tweets, right? (I’ve read that spurious claim.)

If Media Matters could search “Hitler” and “Nazi” and find disgusting posts, then I’m guessing X could have done so too but couldn’t be bothered.

If I’m an advertiser and my ads are susceptible to placement next to tweets saying “Hitler was right,” I wouldn’t be relieved because the placement was “manipulated.” But we can agree that even without manipulation an advertiser would be playing Russian roulette with the probability that his ad for maple syrup wasn’t next to “Six million wasn’t enough.”

By the way, the algorithm manipulation story has yet to be substantiated.

Come on, you know it's true. You must have had your own experience with advertising on your own PC screen after doing a couple of searches for something on Amazon or eBay.

It’s different searching the internet than searching content within a social media site.
