    Since when have boycotts become illegal?

      When they become monopolized.

    It’s the WFA, World Federation of Advertisers. Since Bloomberg doesn’t appear to be interested to disclose who’s being sued ????‍♂️

    Typical left wing Bloomberg failing to understand how corrupt big advertisers are trying to push BS agendas. Advertisers should go F#CK themselves for their behaviour. Bloomberg should too for taking their side.

    lol, I don’t think they can scare them with nonsensical lawsuits. They’re corporations with lawyers…..

    My recollection of the “boycott” was that Musk turned off all the content controls, and the resulting explosion of vulgar and violent tweets repulsed all of the big brand advertisers. The advertisers had a legitimate right to NOT pay to have their brand on a tweet that was insulting. These same companies fire employees if they say such things.
    I don’t know what the target of this lawsuit did but the billion dollars of adds pulled were the result of Elon’s actions and nothing else.

    Elon Musk in suffering from the same mental illness that has afflicted his father for years. It is sad to see him destroying everything he has helped to build. He needs to seek professional treatment before he completely destroys it all taking billion of investor money down with him.

  13. @DaretoExplore

    August 7, 2024 at 5:26 pm

    Elon is bold to put himself on trial. That’s sure to blow up in his face. Why would he think companies are legally required to advertise with him?

  14. @scoty_does

    August 7, 2024 at 5:34 pm

    Wow being an A-hole does brand damage, WHAAAAAT? I can’t wait to see the defense try to quantify how much of an A-hole Elon has become and how it effected his businesses. TSLA is down 50% off of its all time high?

    !!!I recently sold some of my long-term position and currently sitting on about 250k, do you think Nvidia is a good buy right now or I have I missed out on a crucial buy period, any good stock recommendation on great performing stocks will be appreciated

    • @VictoriaCharani

      August 7, 2024 at 5:39 pm

      You need an expert. I’m guided by Adviser Bruce Murdock a widely known consuitant.

    • @Paulinacartex

      August 7, 2024 at 5:39 pm

      I managed to grow a nest egg of around 120k to over a Million. I’m especially grateful to Adviser Bruce Murdock, for his expertise and exposure to different areas of the market.

    • @VictoriaCharani

      August 7, 2024 at 5:39 pm

      My colleagues had a good laugh at me when I told them I started my journey with $50k capital and how I accumulated over 6 figures within a span of 7 months. They never believed me until I pulled out my P&L.

      I know that learning the ins and outs of the market isn’t for everyone, that’s why personally, Bruce Murdock oversees my investments.

    • @Paulinacartex

      August 7, 2024 at 5:39 pm

      Without a doubt! Bruce Murdock is a trader who goes above and beyond. he has an exceptional skill for analyzing market movements and spotting profitable opportunities. His strategies are meticulously crafted based on thorough research and years of practical experience.

      look up his name on the web for his website.

    Thought musk was for free enterprise. Well, advertisers are free to advertise on x or not. musk is such a f ing psycho baby. He’s proven to be dangerous in so many ways, Ukraine and star link, iffy money to trump, stirring up unrest in the uk etc.etc.etc.
