International Business Machines (IBM) has decided to suspend advertising on X (formerly Twitter.com) after an independent watchdog organization alerted IBM to anti-semitic posts that were next to an advertisement on the social media platform. X CEO Linda Yaccarino nor Elon Musk have yet to comment on the specific situation with IBM.

As musk says. Anything to the right when your so far to the left is wrong.
Bye ibm. You wont be missed
What direction will X go with advertisments and free speech?
With Elon in the way of X’s solvency and Linda trying to right the ship against Elon headwinds to bring in more advertisers, X will go bankrupt. Would not be surprised if more advertisers follow suit and eXit out of X. Also would not be surprised if Elon sold more TSLA to keep has addiction going.
X and Muskrat’s brand is spiraling down. Because he’s not about free speech- he’s about promoting hate speech, and it’s costing him heavy. But he doesn’t get it. Not much of a genius. Not even a little bit smart.
Just hilarious stuff coming from the company that had no issue doing business and providing services to the actual Nazis. WW2 concentration camps practically ran on IBM punching cards, Oi Vey!
Hippocrates
Lol is IBM doing business with Nazis today?
I’m sure they sell services to the Islamofascist in the ME.
I think it might of been less about the punch cards vs. having an IBM customer site at most of the camps and running the odious extermination- by-labor campaign, matching skills to slave labor for death camp needs. @Sazzbot
There’s no free speech on X, there is ONLY SPAM FROM FARM TROLLS AKA RUSSIAN/CHINESE/IRAN/INDIA/N KOREA/CUBA.
IBM making that statement IBM becomes hypocritical
There is nowhere for Twitter to go except out-of-business now that it is run by sociopath Elon Musk.
You can bet Elon will blame everyone for this except for the one who caused it. Himself.
Great!
I thought IBM went out of business a long time ago. This must be a ploy to gain some attention.
They haven’t and are worth 150 billion.
Read 😂
Bliss
Bra where do you get your info that IBM went out of business a long time ago ?
@Talking Butt its copium.
Telling the truth isn’t anti semantics. These people are quick to ban everyone who dare to ask or use thr brain to tell the truth. Musk y are right
I smell another large wire cash transfer meeting with Bibbi coming to make people think Elin isnt the racist bigoted toddler he really is.
I agree with most of what you said here in the video buddy, except for the part where you said Osama bin, Ladan was just a terrorist. He was definitely a terrorist I guess and some senses. But before that, and most foremost, he was a Trans CIA agent his name is Tim Ozman you can get plenty of pictures of him, shaking hands with Dick Cheney he chilled with McCain they were REAL close like they fucked the same child at the same time kind of close along with a lot of other senators. The intelligence services of the United States of America trained Osama bin Laden. In fact the bushes closest family in the world is the bin Laden family. In fact, the only flights that were allowed to move on 9/11, or even leave any tarmac was the bin Laden family who is hanging out in an Air Force Base in Ohio. Wow the trade center was bombed by United States of America. That was the day that a country killed a lot of their own people.
Once ibm pulls ads Elon should not allow them back on and band them completely. Everyone is such a snowflake these days.
He supported a guy who said Hitler was right
and?@Karlswebb
@m a r y bailey The point is that what he did was support someone who supports the mass murder of innocent people. That is not okay, and companies are well within their rights to go “uh no, you’re insane, toxic and evil and we have zero interest in associating with you, bye”.
Free country mary. real talk mary; you doing okay? I sincerely hope you are and whatever… issues are going on you can eventually get outta them.
Projection is a type of defense mechanism or means of coping. People may use defense mechanisms and unconscious mental strategies to cope with stressful or anxiety-provoking thoughts and experiences. When someone unconsciously attributes their thoughts, feelings, or behaviors to another person, they are projecting.
@Karlswebb👌
I don’t know what he “Boosted” or whatever he did but here’s the thing: Do you want free speech or censorship?
Once you sacrifice free speech, they’ll take it as far as they can, your text and words will be used against you in the court of law – manipulated to the opposing parties narrative. Your words and texts used as another policing and politicking weapon.
This here is an example of how companies are already using the tactic against one another with the addition of finance. Been doing that for a while.
Humans are “canceling” each other of the dumbest of texts as well…there’s always SOMEONE going to get the red ass over ANYTHING someone or something they don’t agree with. You can find hundreds, if not millions of examples of it online.
So, the question is: Do you want to have the extra fear of losing everything over a text? Possibly over a night of dumbass drunk texting or an out of context comment or something from a decade or two ago? Do you want your children and children’s children worrying about it? Do you want to have the modern version of the witch hunts? Do you really want to have to “look over your shoulder”, CONSTANTLY? More so than even now?
I’d say it’s probably to police yourself and family rather than have a government or corporation do it for you. Isn’t that the point of freedom and being an adult? Especially from the people that’s suppose to lead us. Such a waste of time and life for everyone.
To the cope comments saying IBM is irrelevant; they have a market cap of 150 billion. Cope
@Xenlazar the playing field is crowded, do you have a 150 billion in market cap?
And falling
I think the question is how to boycott IBM because we didn’t know they made anything anymore.
@Scott S. No? They’ve grown by a factor of like 6 in 10 years. Look at their stock. Again; COPE BETTER.
@Love and Unity You don’t. Cause you can’t afford them. Also funny since IBM has been a mainstay in the it tech industry forever. Why would you be so triggered though? Just so easy with you folks.
There has always been and there will always be a price to pay for free speech. Dang it! Every time Tesla stock goes up that genius at the helm has to say something dumb to bring it down again. I’m losing my patience with him and this stock. Time to sell and be done with the pendulum swings Elon puts investors through.
or you could be smart and sell when high and buy when low, the prdictable “pendulum swing” you complain about is an investors dream…but yeah, maybe you are better off selling and be done with it…
its artificially inflated… it’s bound to collapse sooner than later.
@paladro LOL.. yeah right..
IBM, a company that refused to employ Jewish scientists and engineers in the 50’s and 60’s, is now boycotting anti-semitism. It would be funny if it weren’t tragic.
Good. More companies should suspend their advertising on that platform.
Why?
Who cares about IBM. Elon Musk is the man with dignity and he is right.
Elon Musk actions have furthered damaged his reputation and the brand of Tesla as well X, and the loss of advertisers and bad publicity will also harm car sales for Tesla with his controversial and polarizing stances. His CEO of X will not be able to save the social media site from the disaster PR that Musk is giving to his name and his companies now.
Quite the opposite. People and draw to his fight against ppl who got the exact mentality as you. It excite us and we don’t invest in his value, we care about his business acumen instead.
His business acumen is going to cost him another US$200 Billion dollars in losses by the time he is finished@HungryDrago
If destroying the whole value of Twitter down the toilet and losing US$200 Billion dollars is business acumen, then you probably would going bankrupt real soon. The way he is going, he will destroy everything he is build up to the ground in spectacular fashion. @HungryDrago
@HungryDrago Business acumen? With respect to his earlier career, that’s not the Elon of today. The Twitter deal was the single worst financial transaction in the history of the universe, and for once, he was actually the one to engineer it. The best interest of investors and shareholders is clearly irrelevant in the world of this unhinged egomaniac, and that goes for every one of his companies. The Elon-bubble bursting is an easy prediction. When it will be is another matter.
Media really hate x became a private company now they can’t cover anything
Not again 😢
LMAO That’s like 90% of their revenue
They’ve just lost all headway
if that were the only thing it would be really bad, nevermind the value of twitter bein about 20-25% of what he paid.
Twitter is officially gone
karma is already for musk
Great job……….Promoting hate is wrong!
Newly discovered documents from Hitler’s Germany prove that the computer company IBM directly supplied the Nazis with technology which was used to help transport millions of people to their deaths in the concentration camps at Auschwitz and Treblinka, a controversial Holocaust expert claims in a new edition of book published later this week.
May not be perfect but props to Elon for stepping up and having the balls to promote free speech. The level of selective censoring happening on youtube and facebook is so harmful. Blocking the truth, eg the way people truly feel about woke ideology, is simply kicking the can of problems down the road, which will inevitably lead to a much deadly backlash.
I got banned from twitter for making a joke about insurrectionists getting hanged (when they brought the gallows to the Capitol (that’s with an ‘O’)). Twitter is a right-wing propaganda machine.
Ironic considering the history between IBM and the Third Reich
Lol IBM was hella racist back in the day, the irony is bliss
May it be the start of a tsunami of similar suspensions.
Mixing antisemitism with colonialism…
It is in fact truth that people in the Middle East, North Africa and India consider Isreal as a neo colonial state. That’s the reason why “Ghandi” opposed Isreal. And, India 🇮🇳 still not fully accept Isreal. Same story for others
This is funny. Musk is an unstable mess.
IBM is still around lol
So the company with strong historical economic ties to Nazism & the Holocaust is complaining about what…?
Musk is a sub-human meat puppet, put him in the ground and move on.
This is a typical hit piece on Elon by the shorts trying to knock down TSLA stock so they can profit. 😢
Once again. The media is cherry picking a single post in a string where Musk clearly said he support Israel and condemns Hamas. Of course, nobody is putting the entire conversation out there, only a one liner they disagree with. He was talking about the ADL not Israel. He is anti all hate groups.
Yahoo Anything to bash a conservatives!!! Never saw you bash WOKE BUD, Disney, Target!!!
IBM ? What’s that? Genocide support company? 😂
Elon the clown
Has anyone read the actually tweet? I have searched and nobody has it. This just seems like a typical legacy media hit piece. Link the tweet below, so we can find out the truth!
Hooray for Elon……..he endorses free speech and peace. They hate him for it. A champion has arisen.
Elon Musk Right
We might see the courts gift Elon the failing IBM as a token to offset their embarrassment. He could sell that company and buy himself a nice sweater.
To be honest I thought IBM went bankrupt right before Blockbuster
Most likely they got billions of taxpayer money just to stay afloat
IBM founder was awarded a medal by Adolf Hitler and his card system was used in the concentration camps. Being against Israeli genocide doesn’t make you antisemitic.
Suspending their ads is nothing.. why don’t they BAN their ads.. if they really want to make a difference.. 😁😁
Linda Yaccarino is destroying her reputation and her career with X..
Fake news
Ironic, considering their tabulation tech was used to calculate the Holocaust.
Lol
