Apple should get Jon Stewart to talk about Elon on his show… oh wait.

[–] dasherchan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Can’t wait to see X go bankrupt.

[–] repeatrep@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

recently the 'ads' im pushed on X are random accounts that promote... nothing? Itd be like me paying to advertise "u/repeatrep". nothing else.

[–] G48ST4R@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Imho this guy is shorting against his own companies:

  1. Short with puts
  2. Say or post something idiotic on X
  3. Stock goes down
  4. Exercise put option
  5. Long with calls
  6. Stock goes up
  7. Exercise call option

Rinse and repeat! We are laughing with Musk, but he’s the one laughing with us.

Yet Apple continues to profit from movies, music, books and podcasts riddled with racial slurs.

[–] Neither-Phone-7264@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

i’m confused didn’t he just say not supporting israel is akin to supporting genocide? which one is it mr musk?

[–] bellevuefineart@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Apple, Lionsgate, Disney, IBM. Elon is a turd muffin.

[–] anamazingredditor@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Just remove the app from the store 🤣🤣🤣

[–] East_Onion@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

ZZZZ Change the channel Marge...

[–] ummyeahreddit@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Just a pause. Wait a week for it to blow over then funnel money to him again

[–] firthy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

They’re the only proper company that I see on there. All the rest of the advertisers are shitty Chinese gadgets.

[–] teetotallyRadish@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

go to mars already, doofus

“Furious consumers to pause buying Apple products after they continue to benefit from slave labor”

[–] morbob@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Fuck X, vote with your money and don’t give it to X.

[–] namforb@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Cancel Musk.

What, so boosting all the insane rightwingers before this wasn't enough?

[–] ShrimpRampage@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You gotta say the whole thing. “X formerly known as Twitter”. Like tribe called quest, Tom.

[–] NikoliVolkoff@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

My my my... if isn't the consequences of his actions coming back to haunt him, again and again and again. What is Twitter worth now? $10b?

[–] ithinkoutloudtoo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (4 children)

This is ironic considering that Tim Cook has met with China’s dictator before. And Apple does business with a country that is against basic human rights.

Engineered Outrage: "The Outrage! The Outage!"

The what? What does it matter apart from nonsense?

The same goes with advertisements.

[–] FourzerotwoFAILS@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This really doesn’t help his court case. You know the one where he’s suing for slander because a watchdog said there’s to much antisemitism and hate speech on the platform….

Nobody here knows the real story right?

[–] kbt@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

"Pause": we can't risk being associated with this so we have to make a statement, let it blow over and silently begin advertising again sometime later.

[–] YZYSZN1107@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

At this point why does Apple even advertise on Twitter. I think everyone knows about Apple and their products.

Elon is brilliant, I have always wanted twitter to be ad free.

[–] dreamcastfanboy34@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Why didn't Apple pause advertising when he retweeted Andrew Tate? Why wasn't that enough?

[–] Isa229@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It doesn’t surprise me that Shitlon is antisemitic

[–] I--Hate--Ads@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What did he do?

[–] Atman-Sunyata@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Windows user my entire life, time to buy a Mac!

[–] Luph@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

this is great but I wish people would just stop using it. that's the fastest way to get advertisers to quit it.

go to threads or mastadon or whatever. i get its hard to quit a popular network but twitter isn't that necessary.

[–] bgarza18@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Dude why does nobody have a screengrab of the tweet

This is just for PR purposes. They’ll be back in time for the next Apple event. So that when you like a tweet with their hashtag it shows a fun animation.

[–] malbia@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He’s getting fucked right, left, and center haha he deserves it.

[–] Hexnohope@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Why do corporations that big advertise at all? Give my eyes a fucking break i know what an iphone is. I have tasted coca cola. These are things literally everyone alive knows about you dont need to remind me you exist. If i have to hear that oreo guy call his godamned cakester a cream filled slider of happiness im going to lose it

Just goes to show companies don’t have ethics and morals. All they care about is money making, and what could prevent people from wanting to buy their products. I saw someone else say that if majority of people were Nazis, they would pander to keep those folks money around.

[–] InspectorRound8920@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He's a putz

[–] Heinzoliger@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] Sampladelic@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It’s hard to tell they were even advertising in the first place.

80% of the ads on Twitter now are self-promo’s, crypto scams, and start ups.

It’s no wonder the company is sinking in debt

[–] longgamma@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Couldn’t he have spent like a couple of billion and made a new app from the ground up rather than buy Twitter ? Like he could have saved 40bn easily as this dumpster fire x is gonna get bankrupt soon.

[–] Anon_8675309@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Pause?? Just stop altogether! That place is a slum.

[–] shiruken@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It wasn't just Musk backing the anti-semitic post, it was Apple ads appearing next to far-right, pro-Nazi content.

[–] Brett-the-charmer@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Pause? Just cancel full stop!

If he doesn’t have a mental illness I’d be shocked

[–] heachu@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Will we finally have a twitter without ads?

[–] ByrsaOxhide@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This guy is dumber than a pigeon’s poop in the tenderloin.

[–] tommygunz007@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Doesn't Saudi Arabia own like 60% of Twitter? It makes sense then no?

[–] KyleMcMahon@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Why is it just being paused? This is the second time they’ve paused their advertising. At this point just pull it.

[–] BelatedGreeting@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

We’re expecting capitalists to be moral now? Their job is to make good products not to be good people.
