Although the people acting like democracy has ended because he bought Twitter are pretty whiny as well. But yes, he comes off as a bit whiny here

i don't mind the whining and trolling, i just wish they'd actually do something about it with the powers they have

Not giving money does mean destroying free speech. Free speech is a concept; not just an amendment in our constitution.

Because they're not "not giving money" for business reasons. They're doing so for ideological reasons.

Rather, the companies are complying with shareholders for business reasons, but the shareholders are making demands for ideological reasons.

And who am I talking about when I say "shareholders"? It's not me and you just because we hold some stocks. It's the few investment firms who are in charge of all the money we voluntarily give them in our 401ks to make us "stable returns."

The interests of these few individuals converge and that leads them to have no competition when it comes to enforcing their ideology.

They share a few traits when it comes to expressing themselves. (similar "vibes") I think that's why a lot of the same groups instinctively love or hate either of them without any obvious justification for feeling that way.

You gave them power by capitulating to their demands, Elon.

Now you have to deal with the backstabbing that inevitably comes with dealing with the left.

They'll fuck your eye holes if they thought it would give them power.

He didn't give them any power. They already had power.

To me this tweet reads like "look, I tried giving them what they wanted, and they weren't satisfied, so might as well go forward without them"

But only time will tell.

The transgender communists who run the entire internet now would have gone after the advertisers even if he'd knuckled under to every demand they made. Elon is permanently tagged as an enemy by these people and virtually nobody at any company on Earth is willing to tell the transgender communist mob to fuck off.

If this is just whining, don't care

If this is the prelude/justification to pivot and say "well, if you wokies are going to rant regardless of what I do or don't do, I'll just let anybody on", then that's a good thing.

Will see which it is going forward

I don’t see this as a bad thing. Any advertiser who pulls out before he’s even done anything loses their ability to manipulate his behavior later by threatening to pull out.

Not a great sign. But the worse it can happen is twitter going bankrupt - still a great win for us

Dude has 114 million "followers". Start doing a one per day "name and shame" and see how long they hold out.

With these financial losses, a lotta rich people/banks will never have to pay taxes again.

"Oh no, my 1% of my net worth investment in Twitter has lost value! My other earnings will simply have to keep me warm along with the tax writeoff."

Well one is because the person who owns twitter also owns a superior product to their own offering (GM) but this seems like the last roll of the dice for 'advertisers', if Elon does what he said he wanted to do and make twitter less reliant on advertising, they'll begrudgingly come back as they are losing eyeballs for their products.

What will be key though is not just the firing or the subscription services but if Elon can bring some quality content creators on board as that's what gets you the views, it's why Mixer failed so hard.

They wouldn't have let him buy if he wasn't on their team. If he wasn't before, he is now. Expect more cute gotchas, like the one dev team getting fired if they don't have a checkmark charge in place in a week, while more rootless goblins fill the ranks behind the scenes.

Elongated Muskrat fanboys are working overtime, hooked up to the copium machines to try and pretend like Elongated Muskrat isn't bowing and scraping to faggots.

I mean c'mon, the loser was all hooked up to some mentally ill and retarded pop music bitch, of course he'll cuck out.

In my fantasy land where I'm the one running twitter I'd give a 20% discount to all advertisers right now and any advertisers that pull out over virtue signaling when they come back they'll find the rates have doubled. Forever. Sorry you have to stand by your decisions of putting feels over business.

If Pepsico pulls out, guess what? Coca-Cola, ya'll wanna buy their space half off? DM me.

Not even fantasy, that's just good business sense.

They might already be doing this, but I'd also charge way more than $8/mo to verify corporate accounts. Coca-Cola should be paying more like $8000/mo, considering that includes priority placement in tweet replies.

So in other words, activist groups, with known participants and leaders, are libelling and slandering with notable financial impact? Sounds like a fairly cut-and-dry court case to me.

mmm do you believe that is so bad as he said?

"we are going under and is THEIR fault" this frame can mollify the audience to some kind of moves otherwise hard to swallow. or there could be more.

not sure if Elon just began to nooticing things now, or if this is an elaborate marketing ruse. il keep the door open to the possibility.

Lol, ain't nobody believing that, Elon.

There is absolutely no way these tweets would be staying up under the previous regime.

If he won't personally name names I don't give a shit about his whining. Not just the advertisers but the activist groups.

Elon made a miscalculation for sure. I don't think he fully realizes the extend of the power those who wish to push gynocentric values on us have. He thinks profit is still the main driver when it's actually the values as the main driver first.

Matriarchal

– Steampunk_Moustache 8 points 3 years ago +8 / -0

They're really not. Matrilineal is not the same as Matriarchal.

The idea that only children of a Jewish mother are Jews is not only an idea they rarely adhere to in modern times, but its goal is not to keep power among Jewish women - did you ever see a female Rabbi? When you walk into a Jewish neighborhood, did you ever see groups of women discussing politics on a street corner? No, you saw men, every time.

The purpose of matrilineal descent is to incentivize Jewish males to marry within the tribe and stay away from those dirty shiksas. Keeping Jewish females in the tribe is easier than keeping the males in - men are biologically incentivized to wander and spread their seed. The only reason a woman wanders is if she perceives the men of her own tribe as being less dominant than those of another.

Thus, matrilineal descent is really about restraining the male sex drive rather than empowering women.

No, the correct term is in fact gynocetrism or gynocratic. Matriarchal implies women are the ones leading overtly but women lead covertly by guiding simps to do their bidding thus men choose their actions based on what pussy wants and thus the society is gynocratic not matriarchal. If women were overtly in positions of authority and leadership then it would be matriarchal.

I'd argue this is better than actually funding gab. The competition destroying itself works better, and gab will still be beholden to no one.
