IBM pulls X ads as Elon Musk endorses white pride

Absolutely shocked that the South African oligarch/gamer is a white supremacist.

Imagine being literally the richest person in the world. You can afford anything, you can go anywhere, you can do anything. But you spend most of your free time begging for attention from absolute strangers. What a pathetic little bitch.

I’ve always thought being “proud” of your race, any race, is a weird concept.

Like, you didn’t do anything to be white, or black, or asian. Why would you take pride in something you had no agency in?

NOW can we fucking can this guy? SpaceX? Tesla? He's already flushed the cancer-formerly-known-as-twitter so we'll leave him that one.

The significance that it's IBM calling it first should not be lost on anyone.

Anyone still on Twitter at this point for whatever their reasons, have to recognize what group they are in.

So, Elon dislikes that white people can't be proud of being white.

Why would a person of any race be proud of their race? Shouldn't people be proud of their own accomplishments, and those of the people they've helped?

I never really understood the rationale here. I support Pride Month for example, but I think the language is kind of wrong.

Shouldn't people be proud, despite traits which have historically been denigrated?

This is a serious question BTW.

People were unironically comparing this man to Tony Starks lol. 🏃🏾‍♂️

For context, here's the full tweet Elon is endorsing as all these articles are omiting it for some reason

Jewish communties have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.

I’m deeply disinterested in giving the tiniest shit now about western Jewish populations coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country don’t exactly like them too much.

Elon is slowly but surely tearing down everything he has created.

About fucking time, IBM.

X CEO Linda Yaccarino has said that most of the platform’s biggest advertisers have returned after dropping the site due to its moderation changes, but Media Matters previously showed that they’re spending far less than they used to. Yaccarino responded later on Thursday, writing that X has been “extremely clear about our efforts to combat antisemitism and discrimination.”

"There is no bombing at the airport"

Tell me you're South African without you know.

The company that sold automation to Hitler: "This guy is a step too far"

The guy that still has no idea why his kids hate him, at it again.

I'm honestly not going to do business with anyone who still maintains a presence on that platform much less advertise on it. Cheers to IBM for stepping up.

Why were they even adversing on Ten?

I find an odd sort of satisfying humour that we know exactly where IBM draws the line, and it's right there.

Twitter/X is going to end up selling boner pills and conspiracy theories. Way to burn through 44 billion dollars, Elmo.

So will I still get downvoted into oblivion for calling him the white supremacist that he has always been?

Probably.

Is there a list somewhere of the companies advertizing on this thing? Could be useful to ask them what they think about that!

It's surely only a matter of time before he becomes a climate change denier, right? He's gone all in every other right wing weirdo ideology.

A white south african guy is racist? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

Hey guys I think this Elon Musk guy might be not so great...

So was this guy semi normal in the head at some point?

I am really wondering if he has been deteriorating over the last years.

At this point, if anybody asks, I never had a Twitter account. It's way too embarrassing to admit otherwise.

No normal public figure/organization would ever to be associated with this disgusting behavior, but this is the inevitable results engagement centric personalized algorithm, as conflicts create the highest amount of user engagement for the platform.

Most public organizations/figures should really think about running federated social media accounts on their own server, because having control over the server is the only way to 100% ensure your freedom of association online.

And this is why all news of Elon isn't necessarily good news nor free advertising for him. We don't have to trip over ourselves when he breathes, but when he's a piece of shit? Spread it as much as possible.

They just wait until they have everyone kissing their asses and fuck you money, then they let you see who they really are.

Elno fanboys will be like:

He just does that so users can enjoy less ads on X! 5D chess again, he is so smart UwU

This app once sparked social changes and political revolutions. People used it to hold the guilty people accountable.

Then Elon bought it with funding from Saudia Arabia and a few others.

Then he made all the cartoonishly wrong changes. Now the app is dying.

It doesn't feel like incompetence to me. It feels like the app was murdered by the rich and the powerful for whom 44B isn't that big of a deal.

Isn't he South African?

Musk is good friends with Joe Rogan btw

He needs to have Mypillow come and advertise his last remaining dollars.

Yaccarino responded later on Thursday, writing that X has been “extremely clear about our efforts to combat antisemitism and discrimination.”

To be fair, this is true. Elongated Muskrat is making it very clear what their efforts are.

At this rate xitter might as well die a slow death.

The nuts and bolts are loose on this one boys.

90 years ago and IBM would have twittered harder

Cheering for a total explosion on the launchpad this Saturday

At some point race should fade away as some other trait like eye color or attached/detached ear lobes.

Having said that: if everyone who has attached lobes is being blamed for the world problems then I think you may get push back.

Crash and burn, baby.

Musk is either trolling, a complete idiot or playing 4D chess. I don't understand why he would make statements like this. He is a business man no ? He must understand that what he says may have an impact on his business.

Being proud of your skin color is stupid as fuck.

🎶It’s historically ironic!🎶

Tragic, but unsurprising.

Well, shit.... our expectations were low, but god damn.

How the times have changed...

Yeah, remember exactly 1 year ago with the huge frenzy around twitter going to shut down because of Musk's take over, the shutting down of some server capacity and the firing of more than half of the workforce. 365 days later Twitter didn't collapse, it retained most of its user base and it is still going just fine. those companies will be back when the dust settles just like how mastodon refugees went back after changing their twitter handles to mastodon ones.

By the 1930s, the new Nazi government needed that technology — and recruited IBM for the job. Tabulating machines made tracking lines of Jewish descent possible, even if a German citizen’s family had married out of the religion or converted generations ago.

I dont agree with hate even 1% but some of the companies are the pot calling thee kettle black

I'm with Elon here. Fuck the ADL.
