Gasp. Who would have thought actively courting Nazis would make risk averse corporations stop using your ads! Poor Elon! Also doesn't help that the site was basic private for a while. I know I never bothered to log in while it was log in only.

Nobody could have foreseen this! Nobody! Unless by some miracle they happened to look up who's advertising on far-right platforms like Gab or Pravda Social.

Pravda Social? I thought that was Twitter.

"Pravda" is Russian for "Truth". I find it ironic that TFG named his social media site after a newspaper that's synonymous with "shameless propaganda'.

Not so much ironic as the Spider-Man pointing meme. Al-qaeda literally means “the base” and who exactly do you think all the Jesus freak stochastic terrorists are trying to rile up? Their base. Two sides of the same shit coin.

There is a extremist group in the states called The Base. Ultra right wing fascist shit.
