#Musk can't believe he drove advertisers away from #X / #Twitter by turning it into the #hellscape he saw as a risk and promised to avoid.

So he's suing them. Their departure must be an illegal conspiracy.

In her defense of the lawsuit, company president #Yaccarino says that advertising is essential to any platform that will function as a public square. That's 180° wrong.

#ElonMusk prevails upon Linda #Yaccarino, forcing her to fire her right-hand man and head of business operations and communications, Joe #Benarroch “to boost sales and cut costs” at #X #Twitter after #Musk himself drove away advertisers with his aggressive unmoderated extremist tweets and refusal to curb hate speech on the platform.

“The reshuffle stems from growing tensions between Musk and Yaccarino, as she struggles to steady X's financial health”

Sad, Yaccarino is swimming in the Kool-Aid

Read Linda #Yaccarino’s memo to X employees about Elon #Musk's DealBook interview

“If somebody's going to try to blackmail me with advertising?" #X owner and CTO Musk said during the interview. "Blackmail me with money? Go f--- yourself. Go. F---. Yourself. Is that clear?"

In the memo sent Thursday, Yaccarino told employees that the X owner "shared an unmatched and completely unvarnished perspective and vision for the future."

X May Lose Up to $75 Million in Revenue as More Advertisers Pull Out

“In an internal meeting with employees at X this week, Ms. #Yaccarino cut a defiant mood. She made no mention of Mr. #Musk’s endorsement of the antisemitic post and attributed the company’s problems to a report by the left-wing media watchdog group #MediaMatters”

Text Shot: Leesha Anderson, the vice president of digital marketing and social media at the advertising agency Outcast, said its clients steadily stopped spending on X after Mr. Musk took over and had found alternatives on platforms like LinkedIn and TikTok. “In today’s dynamic marketplace, brands have a plethora of platform choices at their disposal for precise audience targeting,” she said. “Therefore, it is imperative for the stewards and proprietors of social platforms to exercise deliberate discretion in all aspects, be it their personal beliefs or political stances, as these choices will inevitably undergo public scrutiny.”

@Jennifer Does seem like #Yaccarino sold her soul to the #Devil!

“WAGNER. Alas, poor slave! see how poverty jesteth in his nakedness! The villain is bare and out of service, and so hungry, that I know he would give his soul to the devil for a shoulder of mutton, though it were blood-raw.

CLOWN. How! my soul to the devil for a shoulder of mutton, though ’twere blood-raw! not so, good friend: by’r lady, I had need have it well roasted, and good sauce to it, if I pay so dear”

Yaccarino finally admits the obvious.

Next step should be to get realistic about Musk (and stop being a sycophant apologist!)

Exclusive: Apple to pause advertising on #Twitter #X after Musk backs antisemitic post

“Apple is pausing all advertising on X, the Elon Musk-owned social network, sources tell Axios.

Why it matters: The move follows #Musk's endorsement of antisemitic conspiracy theories as well as #Apple ads reportedly being placed alongside far-right content”

Text Shot: The big picture: Musk faced backlash for endorsing an antisemitic post Wednesday, as 164 Jewish rabbis and activists upped their call to Apple, Google, Amazon and Disney to stop advertising on X, and for Apple and Google to remove it from their platforms. The left-leaning nonprofit Media Matters for America published a report Thursday that highlighted Apple, IBM, Amazon and Oracle as among those whose ads were shown next to far-right posts.
