It's kind of distasteful that Musk is using that word as he really doesn't grok its true meaning.

How much has Musk's antics costs the platform?
X ad revenue reportedly fell $1.5B this year amid boycotts
In further Elon Musk. Telsa v Swedish Unions will soon get worse for Musky.
Teamsters Union will stop with garbage collection at 00:01 the 24th of December if no union contract is agreed upon.

This is really bad news for X when you consider that the interest payments on the purchase loans alone are reported at $1 billion a year.
This means that of the $2.5 billion in ad revenue left, $1 billion of this is immediately eaten up by just interest payments, a whopping 40% of ad revenue. This is before loan principal, staff wages, benefits, real estate, etc.
X is utterly fucked.
Saying this is a boycott is like saying McDonald's is boycotting the Mariana Trench by not opening an outlet at the bottom of it.
Advertising on Twitter is bad for business, so businesses don't want to have anything to do with it, that's capitalism at work, not socio-political activism.

Eeeeeyup.
He's completely unprincipled, unless one argues that a desperate desire to suck up to the absolute dregs of the right constitutes "principle." A "free speech absolutist" when it comes to harassment and death threats from his fellow reactionaries, but making fun of him gets you banned. Does it come as any real surprise that he'd invite the archetypal RWNJ back with open arms after promising (with fingers crossed behind back) not to, even if his alleged personal reasons for making that promise hadn't been a lie?
No one who uses "woke" as a pejorative ever has much of a grasp on anything.
As I told Corvus...
And that's what his sort are outraged over: the very fact that standard business practice does preclude spewing slurs. There is no measure of "success" that they acknowledge which excludes license to abuse people as they see fit without consequence.
I think you mean "blackmailing the Mariana Trench." That was the word Elmo used, after all. He's so far up his own ass that it's unreal.
To that sort: whether it's "capitalism" or "activism" hinges primarily (if not entirely) on whether or not it goes in their favor.Advertising on Twitter is bad for business, so businesses don't want to have anything to do with it, that's capitalism at work, not socio-political activism.
Ask me about Deceiver's Vengeance, the Argus Scrolls, or why Tyn does not approve.
Good work can still be improved upon.

Bad news for Musky boy.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death
I saw it coming when the rule against spreading disinformation got nuked. Then again: the performative party switch (I doubt he was ever actually voting Democratic in the face of his being chummy with Greg Abbott, and his pretense that it was about "love and tolerance" versus "hate and division" was self-evident bullshit) made it clear that he was not someone who should be in charge of a major social media platform...and that was before he bought out Twitter.
So between that, and the vaunted Twitter Files showing that it was right-wing outlets that were receiving overly lenient treatment and trying to control the narrative? Too bad that's not when his current string of ruined business relationships started.
Ask me about Deceiver's Vengeance, the Argus Scrolls, or why Tyn does not approve.

Judge rules Twitter breached contract by blocking millions of pay bonuses
Musk has really proven to be a chain failure, hasn't he? But it's one thing to simply invite racists and terrorists back on the site. That's just immoral, but not illegal. Breaching contracts is a far more tangible matter. I do hope that the workers Musk intentionally wronged get what they're legally obligated, and a little more for their troubles.The company promised employees half of their potential bonuses both before and after tech billionaire Elon Musk purchased the company in 2022, but never paid, according to the suit.
Mark Schobinger, then the company’s senior director of compensation, brought the lawsuit against the social media platform in June.
“Once Schobinger did what Twitter asked, Twitter’s offer to pay him a bonus in return became a binding contract under California law,” District Judge Vince Chhabria wrote in the opinion.
“And by allegedly refusing to pay Schobinger his promised bonus, Twitter violated that contract,” he added.
The company argued that the bonus agreement was merely an oral promise and should not have to be paid per Texas law.
Chhabria, instead, held the company to California law, which establishes that the agreement was legally binding.
“Twitter’s contrary arguments all fail,” Chhabria wrote.
So today just REALLY hurt Musk's case

Things like that aint what you want when you have a defamation case coming up where you're claiming people are faking the amount of racism on your platform.
"Law and Order", lots of places have had that, Russia, North Korea, Saddam's Iraq.
Laws can be made to enforce order of cruelty and brutality.
Equality and Justice, that is how you have peace and a society that benefits all.
