As I reported a couple of days ago, CNN's Oliver Darcy (of course) tried to use his platform to do a little extortion. He published a piece entitled, "The NFL, Washington Post, and Walmart: Here are the major companies still advertising on X despite Elon Musk's antisemitic endorsement." Name and shame those companies until they give in. Musk is such an antisemite he just got back from meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel, where he toured sites of the Hamas massacre and watched a screening of terrorist atrocities.
Being the richest person in the world has its privileges. Musk can say what he thinks, and took advantage of that:
.@elonmusk to corporations pulling ads from X:

This is unfathomably based.

The guy just doesn't care what the dying corporate media has to say about him anymore 🔥🔥
His integrity is astonishing.

Do the former advertisers think they have power over @elonmusk ? I don’t much about him but he knows how to run a business. He saw this coming before he even purchased Twitter. He’s got it covered.

Remember the panic among the Left when it was first suggested that Musk might purchase Twitter? All the libs wrote their farewells alongside their new addresses on Mastodon. And of course, they're all still around.
Musk is unfathomably based. He visited the border to see the crisis for himself. He's not running for office. He's already got a real job — several, in fact.
How refreshing would this attitude be coming from our elected representatives?
