Nothing says you believe in free market competition more, than suing a another private business, trying to force them to give you money
“Free market” was nothing but a propaganda term…
That has always been the essence of the “Free Market”, for thee but not for me.
I love this song
Anyone getting sued by him should just demand a jury trial. No way you’ll get enough Americans to side with musk on anything.
Life goals, don’t fuck up so bad that even Nestle wont work with you!
so a south African is suing a swiss company in American court? why just why is this theatrical bullshit allowed to go on so sick of this already times be changing too slowly we need the next phase already
Free the Super Mario Brothers!
Its an american company suing an american subsidiary of a swiss company. It makes sense. You dont have to try very hard to find the ridiculousness in these people but this isnt it.
The lesson here is to never start advertising on that platform. You’re less likely to be sued by Musk if you never start advertising in the first place. Advertising on his platform is an unnecessary risk for your business:
Preach. Never do business with a professional troll.
He must think it’s like the old dealership laws. Once you enter into an agreement, you can’t exit.
Advertise once, advertise forever!
I didn’t know Citizens United gave companies forced speech.
The speech is free. Xitter could advertise for these companies for free. It’s the money that’s being forced…
Oh wait I forgot money is speech. It’s so hard to keep up with the state’s counter-reality.

Musk knows no bottom, cause he is the bottom.
Tbf every body needs an asshole. Except the us, which seems to have two.
Maybe asking advertisers to ‘go fuck yourselves’ isn’t such a bright idea, fuckwit.
Hey, when you’re rich you can grab them by the balls.

You can also have friends if you just pay mercenaries to kidnap them from the street at gunpoint. Many many great friends at any time.
You just know that’s going to be exhibit 1 for the defense.
Fucking fascist Nazi man baby doesn’t like when advertisers do what he tells them, and then continues to do so when he realizes that was a bad idea.
Reminds me of the guy who was accused by his gf of impregnating her, then refusing to support the child. Went through everything: the lawyers, friends and family who questioned his manhood and unwilling ess to take responsibility for the child, harassment, threats from her friends, etc. finally ended up in court in front of a judge, where he calmly produced a letter from a doctor that had performed a vasectomy on him well before the child could possibly have been conceived, took the win and walked out.
I would pay to watch this rich spoilt man child have to eat his literal words. I’m sure it’s screenshotted all over the internet, but his ego won’t let him see the truth.
FYI a vasectomy isn’t a 100% guarantee against getting a woman pregnant as it can sometimes heal, even years after.
A DNA test should still have been ordered in that circumstance.
Yeah any judge should have just waited for a paternity test.
when advertisers do what he tells them
They have actually … themselves?
;-)
How is this even a thing? Is a bank run considered collusion? If the platform no longer offers the audience I want to reach then I should be able to stop advertising on it. It just happens that the audience of may companies at once left the company. Who is even entertaining this lawsuit?
All the defense has to do is play the clip of him openly telling advertisers not to advertise and he’ll get laughed out of court.
Unfortunately he sued in the North District of Texas, which is a maga kangaroo court
Most politicians are bought for less than a million. The guy has hundreds of billions. I imagine he can buy a few judges along the way.
Possibly, but none of those bought judges matter unless it ends up in their specific court. That’s why they’ve been trying to install as many of their own as possible.
I’m torn about disliking this douchebag and liking that Nestlé is getting sued…
On the scale of who is fucking up the world more, I’d have to award the trophy to Leon. Certainly fuck Nestle, but won’t someone please rid us of this meddlesome billionaire?
Elon is a twat and a menace for sure, but Nestlé have employed business strategies that literally killed infants and caused malnourishment…they are a completely different league of evil, far far worse than what Elon has done so far.
Key part of that sentence is “so far”
Yeah, I tend to believe it would be better to stop the entity that has currently done the most harm, with no intent to stop, first…I’m weird like that.
Maybe both at the same time. It’s possible to do two things.
No better way to get people who used to voluntarily give you money to give you more money than threatening them.
What person in it right mind initiate a legal battle with Nestlé??
Plenty actually, like former slaves from plantations which sold products to Nestle.
…it’s part of the reason why Nestle is currently lobbying the EU to not dilute the supply chain act, those kinds of cases are a PITA for them, and the documentation they need to do for the supply chain act is exactly what they need to nib cases in the bud, “Here’s the inspections we did, here are transcripts of anonymous interviews with random workers at the plantation”, “If something slipped between the cracks we deeply regret that but we did do our due diligence, plaintiff’s beef is with their ex boss, not with us”.
It is absolutely more expensive to pay an army of lawyers to defend yourself than it is to pay workers proper local wages and document that. Not to mention that people who run slave plantations don’t share their extra profit with Nestle.
The other reason is that they don’t want smaller companies to have a competitive advantage: Smaller companies are not subject to those kinds of lawsuits, and also the ones complaining about the supply chain act. Nestle is also not at all keen on a consumer boycott from Africa.
