They only care when a bunch of idiots pretend that having an ad in the vicinity of something they don’t like

Studies indicate a link between the ad and its emotionally charged context to viewers. [1] [2] I know that Musk claimed that several times, almost verbatim as you said it, but it's not exactly true. And I also know because I've had that visceral reaction to an ad being 'misplaced'. I don't think it's an empty claim at all, and the company has every right to decide where to show their ads and why.

Did you not realise that? Did you really think that it was just a coincidence that all of a sudden it became some giant issue just as elon musk bought Twitter?

Like how Elon made it a huge deal himself by publicly telling companies to 'go fuck yourself' if they didn't like it his way?

you then try to make fun of me for being more educated than you lol. Amazing

Nope, this is not a pissing contest. This is a can-you-piss test because I think your takes don't reflect your level of education. I can count at least two that I find quite baffling, so I had to ask.
