Pariah Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) So, are the messages still called "tweets"?

unclevlad Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 Plus, I also saw an article that Musk's graphic may be too generic to be trademarkable. And the Daily Beast is reporting: a) Musk insinuates Bronny James' cardiac incident could be related to being vaccinated b) Fact checking statements about the tweet were quickly removed Antagonize LeBron? About a VERY!!!!! sensitive personal issue??? Beyond the irresponsible nature of the tweet, beyond the hypocrisy in removing the fact checking...LeBron is still a significant brand in his own right. The companies Musk is trying to draw back to his platform as advertisers, will consider this another sign that they can't trust Musk. The man is the world's champion at sticking his foot in his mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
