 From CNN's "Reliable Sources" newsletter: "In the last 48 hours, I've spotted advertisements for Apple, McDonald's, Gatorade, Ritz Crackers, Samsung, Wendy's, Red Bull, NFL, MLB, Paramount, State Farm, IBM, and 20th Century Fox.

"News outlets such as The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Bloomberg, CNBC, Puck, and Axios have also continued advertising on the platform, despite Musk's attacks on newsrooms."

Beyond disgraceful. 
 @f8d9bc1c America has allot of corporate nazis 
 @f8d9bc1c It really, really is beyond high time that they stop giving that man their money. Seriously, he went on a day long extended "I blame the Jews" tirade. You continue supporting him after something like that and one day someone writes a chapter in their book about your company's support for Uncle Adolf during the Holocaust. 
 @f8d9bc1c Have no illusion. During fascism, business continues. Especially when businessmen are the fascists. 
 @f8d9bc1c Perhaps you expected differently.

Maybe time to come around to the realization that Musk didn’t overpay for a social media platform, but that he got a platform serving disinformation propaganda for autocrats.  Cheap.  Very, very cheap.

Or you can continue calling him an idiot because there was another 7.3 hour outage.  Again.

 @f8d9bc1c many people were expecting these companies to flee the assholes X CEO! But, most of the owners of these companies are assholes themselves. They don’t actually see what we see.
