"By him taking the position that he took in quite a public manner, we just felt that the association with that position, and with Elon Musk, and X was not necessarily a positive one for us and we decided we would pull our advertising."
This is in reference Musk's 'anti-Semitic' tweet. So instead of just voting with his wallet, Bob has turned it into a virtue flex, which would also be fine if they weren't actively supporting other platforms that are known to be far worse. (And that's ignoring Meta's issues with child abuse)
No. There's no need to flex anything. All he's done is distance Disney from the bad smell around Musk and Twitter.
If that's all Bob Iger needs to do to make Disney look better (or at least avoid looking worse) then maybe Musk should have a think about getting himself under control.
Pretending to do the right thing whilst actively doing the exact opposite might make Disney look better to anyone not paying attention but it's not marketing, it's just lying.
Through his antics, his moronic public statements, and the changes he made to the platform, Musk created the conditions that resulted in Disney pulling its advertising from Twitter.
The End.
All that remains for Musk to do now is to grow up and take responsibility for this outcome.
But, given that he has told his customers to "go fuck themselves", it seems unlikely that he will take responsibility any time soon.
Gotcha. One rule for me and another for thee.
It says a lot about people when they'd prefer to believe a comfortable lie, than be told an uncomfortable truth.
I never once defended Musk's idiocy, but you've made it clear that you have no problems with child abuse, anti-Semitism, or hypocrisy.
Best of luck to ya.
> The End.
It isn't.
Commenting on Disney paying money to an antisemetic company that distributes child abuse material is irrelevant in a thread about Disney not paying money to an allegedly antisemetic company.
Sorry, I suppose it's another "whataboutism"...
You are profoundly confused.
What an absurdly childish response to GP’s comments. GP has made none of those things “clear” and it’s disgusting that you would stoop to such a gross, inflammatory accusation because you’re upset about an internet argument.
Grow up or log off. This crap is a really, really ugly look for you.
It's an ugly look for me to suggest that someone has strange priorities if they're defending Disney for paying money to an antisemetic company that distributes child abuse material? I guess we're only allowed to judge antisemetic companies if they're owned by Elon Musk...
It's an ugly look for you to look the other way. Silence is violence remember.
You spinning that into “actually that means you approved of CSAM” is teenage Twitter bullshit, frankly. Again, grow up.
That's exactly what's going on here.
