Stop trying to please them. You give them an inch they'll demand a mile.
Toss some of your difficult moderation posts into GA.W, let the mods know it's you, we'll sticky, you can come back later and see what we discussed, and go from there if you want to consider anything.
This. Elon has the money to run Twitter without advertisers. He should tell the woke ones to take a hike. They’ll be begging to be let back in soon enough.
This tweet reads like he's trying to prove that to you. It pretty much says "Look, I gave them the inch they asked for and they still want a mile to be satisfied."
Combine this with Elon clearly recognizing that advertising is not Twitter's financial futures with his big $8 push.
I'm hoping he'll double down.
But we'll only know for sure based on his next actions.
That is the lawsuit I am waiting for. An entire industry has spring up on how to make social media work for you! and people paid a lot of money for it.
Elon, should offer them a refund based off of future advertising spending. Come back and continue advertising on Twitter. We will discount you until the refund is reached.
He just needs to tell us who to boycott. Advertisers are nothing more than other businesses. If advertisers are putting pressure on Twitter, we can put pressure on these advertisers by publicly boycotting their products. They'll stop playing stupid political games if we hurt their bottom line.
Unfortunately, the "woke" corporations are all whipped by their shareholders. Who are their shareholders? A small, select group of people who are in charge of enormous investment funds. How do these investment funds get their money? We give it to them
Our 401ks are typically controlled by these people, who then have a stronghold on the market. Interest of these small number of individuals converge, so there is no competition. It's just these people getting their way.
Think of all the hair-tearing over every tiny move Trump would make that didn't agree with certain peoples wish for instant vengeance. Then it would be, oh, what a brilliant move.
This is why I was on the fence and waited to see what would happen. Yes, on the surface, reports of Musk coordinating with the ADL and others WOULD be upsetting. But we don't know everything that went on or what was discussed, or what else Musk has planned.
Not being pro-Musk or anything, but I'm interested on how this plays out before jumping on the "Musk Man Bad" train I've seen some do on this forum.
Activist groups = Goerge Soros and his taxpayer-funded Command Control Operations.
I often times ask, why not just get rid of the guy? Why so much protection for him? The media won't mention his name unless is something positive. Surely if he is just a mere human mortal, why is he protected so well? God certainly is not protecting Soros, so who is?
But being that you are now a private company, and you are firing all the deadweight, you don’t need that much ad revenue as compared to before to keep operations running forward
Is this maybe why it was reported Musk spot with ADL and the like, to show that even placating to the mob, they are still gonna burn everything down to try to get their way, so it doesn't matter?
Think about it: If Musk didn't look like he was playing ball with their politics, that 'nothing' regarding moderation would significantly change, then they could put ALL the blame on him. However, with him showing that he's trying to at least look like he's on the same level with the leftist censorship policies, now it shows that there are still bad actors going behind the scenes and bullying advertisers and such to still pull away to keep hurting Musk, so it's not really about 'fairness', it's about who's in control.
Uh, elon, twitters itself works against 'free speech'. You speak of content moderation and free speech as if the two can harmonize, it is oil and water boi, choose.
Put your satan suit back on, activists like that, you can be their hero and get your revenues back.
Revenues, huh, you claim to be a socialist but here you are whining about revenues.
"See, we tried doing it their way and it isn't working, so we're going to change things."
Agree.
Stop trying to please them. You give them an inch they'll demand a mile.

Rush Limbaugh always preached this. They will never be satisfied, no need to give them an inch.
He also preached using their own language and processes, but add satire and humor. Saul Alinksy reversalism

A mile is small potatoes; you give them an inch, they'll 100,000 light years.
Wait until they learn how much the old Twitter cheated them out of advertising spending with fake account numbers.
That is the lawsuit I am waiting for. An entire industry has spring up on how to make social media work for you! and people paid a lot of money for it.

I'm already boycotting Pfizer.

Trying? Seems to me over the past several years they have been pretty successful.
Elon activating a trap card?

OK, now he can say he tried to get along with the activists and look what happened.

I'm pro Musket. Need one for well established Melissas... And militia too. 🤣😂
Justifies personnel cuts.

remember, most Fortune 500 corporations are run by DS

Time to lay off more people to stop the bleeding
The Jews tried to appease Hitler. Look at what that got the Jews. 6 million of them dead in camps.
Not really. Look at the Red Cross numbers. Ye is right

What if this starts bringing to life the Deplorable Economy, with products Made in the U.S.A.?
This is the war we fight.
Appeasement doesnt work, ask ww2
Tell us the advertisers! I say boycott every one of them!
Corporations... the torso of the two party system.
CIA doesn't play nicely with others
Is the ADL one of those groups?
Wait until everyone realizes Trump tweeted this (almost) exact thing in 2017.
If you don't succumb to their wishes Twitter will flourish in time.
GO WOKE GO BROKE!!!!!
