Elon sues advertisers for not advertising on X Twitter

Hilarious.

I can’t be bothered to write anything new, so here’s a post from – jeez, barely over a month ago, that links a huge number of the previous articles I’ve written about this fetid shitball and his fascist propaganda and disinformation machine.

Apparently – despite his demands – he hasn’t been able to get Republican state attorneys-general to prosecute people and companies which do not give him money. In a general sense, he thinks boycotts should be illegal – well, at least, where he’s concerned, because of how special a boy he is.

Back in November, he went off extensively and in public about how not paying him money is censorship, that advertisers have a moral and/or ethical responsibility to give him money via advertisiing on X Twitter.

The main takeaway coverage at the time delivered was him telling advertisers to go fuck themselves, using almost exactly those words! But if you watch the whole interview, you get the greater message about how not giving him money is a crime and should be illegal.

It’s truly bizarre, and that’s not even including the bit about how all the copyright action against AI bots won’t matter because LLMs will become God AIs before any of the cases get resolved in court.

No, really. It’s an offhand comment and not pursued, but holy shit, it should’ve been.

Basically, the man is well beyond weird, and full-bore into a delusional fascist messiah complex. He’s been there for a long time, and in plain sight. Being on X / Twitter just helps feed it, as he turns it further and further up.

So do highlight the trainwreck, but do not help pay for it. Given how much money he’s throwing into this election and why he bought Twitter, from a functional standpoint, literally every tweet is an ad for MAGA and/or Trump, so I wouldn’t be doing any of that, either.

And for the gods’ sakes, don’t rely on “X” for information and organisation, particularly close to November. If it’s not obvious, he will yank it out from under you when you need it the most.

90 days remain.
