Elon Musk acquired X, then known as Twitter, on October 27, 2022. It was evident at that moment that the screeching power cabal of liberal politicians, corporations, and media organizations would try to destroy the platform and Musk himself.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission sued Musk over the purchase. The Federal Trade Commission demanded he turn over documents. The Biden DOJ and SEC opened several sham investigations against Tesla.
Yet, none of those attempts influenced Musk’s pledge to allow users to exercise free speech on the internet without consequences.
Thus, last month, the cabal launched its most aggressive attack yet. Blue-chip American sponsors pulled their ads from X in purported protest of antisemitic content.
Notable participants include Disney, Apple, Coca-Cola, Walmart and IBM.
The sponsors say they cannot associate with Musk — amid the war between Israel and Hamas — and cite a post he shared that suggested Jewish people are complicit in the rise of anti-white racism, for which he apologized and called “foolish.”
However, if advertisers were truly protesting antisemitism on social media, one would think they’d also boycott TikTok and Meta, both of which have a much higher percentage of antisemitic and anti-Israel posts than X.
The sponsors have not boycotted either service.
Nor have they ceased advertising in China, where state-run media is sympathizing with Palestinians and pushing antisemitic rhetoric. Not to mention an ongoing abhorrent record on human rights.
The advertisers say they are disturbed by the “dangerous” content that appears on X. Yet, they continue advertising on Instagram, which uses an algorithm that a recent Wall Street Journal exposé found connects pedophiles to child pornography.
The reasons advertisers cite are diversions. They are lies.

This is absolutely right. They've just been looking for some other explanation.
The truth is: they've had the long knives out for Elon since the moment he said he'd buy Twitter and ditch all the censorship.

It's all about the election in '24--they've been ramping up for this the past three years, but when Musk took over and rebranded Twitter it became more urgent. Big Tech elected Biden in 2020 by keeping voters uninformed and they hope to do the same again, on a grander scale.

The plan is to destroy free speech and after the elections start to imprison (forced re-education) people for people that resist the Government dictates.
@B1ll0fRightsBradyRepublican6mos6MO
Disney has doubled down on destroying itself.
What really causes me to smh is that "they" actually think they're getting away with it. It's like they have blinders on. They managed to pull this kind of crap off in 2020, but now?
Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice?

Free speech should be protected in all cases. Nothing should be censored no matter how hateful or stupid it sounds.
@9J7DGNN5mos5MO
not sure where else to ask but is apple still boycotting x? My phone needs replacing and although I always had an iPhone I won’t get apple until they stop influencing my right to free speech.
