Let's take a look at the "big names" the article lists:

  • Shonda Rhimes (Who?)
  • Ken Olin (Who?)
  • "General Motors said it would temporarily pause advertising on Twitter" (#7 car company in the world by revenue and a Tesla competitor)

That's it.

It's almost like they are trying to make a big deal out of something that's not really that big a deal...

I like the other post that was talking about celebs that were going to leave Twitter is Musk bought it.

I don't understand pausing adverts. Surely if less people get banned you get more sales?

Money is money, who gives a shit what politics someone has when it comes to a sale lol.

Tighter regulation. That's hate speech!

Those “big names” will come back. Companies will quietly resume advertising once the hubbub dies down. It’s all for show.

“Hate Surge” - yeah, what’s with all those black folks and Jewish bluechecks shitting on white people? Oh yeah, that was always allowed. I guess it’s not as fun when the other side finally gets a say.
