IBM, a major advertiser on X, has pulled its spending from the social media platform, whose employees are grappling with what to tell its other advertisers, according to internal messages.

To be clear: Musk endorsed a tweet which used a false antisemitic conspiracy theory to tell people why "Hitler was right"

What damage? Twitter has been a right-wing platform for a long time now. Any remaining users had already (knowingly or not) aligned themselves with right-wing fascist subhumans.

So, if any advertisers or users are upset, fuck 'em. They can own it. They supported a right-wing platform and should reap the labels that come with that.

Damn I was expecting some kind of heated hot-take laden debate about the recent events with Israel, which would have been bad enough for him to throw his two cents into, but dude completely exceeded my expectations in the worst way by straight up praising Hitler out of the blue while givng the nod to white supremacy.

So now that he's actually showed his hand we can start unironically calling Elon a Nazi now right? I remember people calling him that just to insult him in the past and his personal cult brigade coming to his defense. Let's see them try and do that now.

Also mirroring the screenshot on Lemmy.ml in case Imgur deletes it:
