Balls, they aint got em

Kinda lends itself to the theory that they are part of the Problem

Bending the knee

“X’s owner now has the ear of the president-elect, a man who has a long history of helping his friends, and punishing his enemies,” said Max Willens, senior analyst, at Emarketer. “Sending at least a trickle of ad spending toward X may be seen as good for business, albeit in an indirect way.”

There's the article in a nutshell. Give Elmo money or face the wrath of the Diaper-in-Chief.

Cowards

IBM helping out the Nazis is pretty par for the course

That's extraordinarily on brand of them

wow who could have predicted this considering they're the same companies who said they wouldn't donate to republicans after january 6th three months before they started donating to republicans again.

When have Comcast, Disney, or IBM ever have been on the wrong side of history? /s

Oligarchs get cozy with oligarchs, what a shocker.

It’s time to drop Disney+.

Good thing everyone is leaving

That would be REALLY Corrupt if simply buying Ads on a Website was Enough to allow you to DIRECTLY INFLUENCE the President Of The United States! Fortunately Trump DIDNT put the Owner of X in charge of Important Oversight Decisions!

Had Kamela won, Musk would have been bankrupt within years, likely in jail too (his own words)

Instead of that, loads of people decided to listen to a fraidster thief rapist, and not vote for Harris.

Now we're here and I'm so so tired.

of course they are, they might as well lick his asshole while they are at it. big corporations will always without exception do whatever is necessary to survive.

I almost can't blame them. A majority of Americans voted for fascism and racism. These are their customers.

Horrible timing. Millions are leaving and going to BlueSky.

ITT: People realising most of the world lives outside their bubble

This is bending the knee

Death to Comcast, Disney, and IBM.

And nobody was surprised. I predict most advertisers will return by the end of January for the same reasons they left previously: It's the right business decision at the right time. Remember that the next time a corporation makes a pledge. It's always about money.

So pretty much everyone, who's already got a reputation for being shit, or has fallen from grace completely, has returned. No surprises there

Did anyone read the article? Besides the top 2, these amounts are paltry:

Data by MediaRadar showed that Comcast, which spent less than $1.5 million on X this year, was followed by Warner Bros. Discovery at $1.1 million, whose ads are supporting theatrical releases of movies, and Disney at under $550,000. Lionsgate spent less than $230,000, while IBM allocated under $2,000.

That's embarrassing.

I dropped Xitter as soon as it became apparent that Elon was going to buy it and started pirating Disney (and everyone else) shortly after. Couldn't tell you the last time I bought anything IBM but I'll have to be more careful about it. I'm switching to a local fiber provider so I'm leaving comcast in a couple of weeks.
