The United States’ largest retailer, Walmart has stopped advertising on the platform X, owned by Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

This decision marks a departure from X after Musk’s recent string of disparaging comments and positions Walmart as the first major company to distance itself from the controversial platform, a report by Bloomberg has said.

Based on reports, Walmart has chosen to discontinue its advertising on X, citing a preference for alternative platforms that better connect with its customer base. The retail company joins Disney, IBM, Sony and other companies to “abandon cart” on the X platform.

What Walmart said
“We aren’t advertising on X as we’ve found other platforms to better reach our customers,” a Walmart spokeswoman stated.
She declined to say when the change takes effect or what motivated it.

Joe Benarroch, X’s head of business operations, said via email that Walmart “has a wonderful community” of more than 1 million followers on X, and that most of the site’s users do their shopping online.

Elon Musk was asked yesterday in a TV interview if he is bothered about advertisers pulling out from X. His answer was astonishing, he said he don't need their money if it involves controlling him or his personal views.

Imagine using money to threaten the world's richest billionaire.

Funny you.
So you think Musk will be dipping into his pocket to be paying salaries?
He already apologized for his tweets and also deleted them even before this latest Walmart boycott.Any other thing he is saying after that is bravado and showoff,because he has started feeling it where it hurts.
Imagine having to dip into your pocket to withdraw $1b every month to be paying salaries and run a company.Even if you are worth $100b,you would know that is not a sustainable in even the near term.
Staff too would be going to work with anxiety each day because they can't tell if that's the day they would be terminated because the company cannot generate enough funds to be paying them.

Elon brought this on himself. He forgot that he's sympathetic to the conservative base who are in turn sympathetic with the Jewish people. So why would you turn around to make anti-Jewish comment?? And aside that, he's too opinionated.

Elon is not worth $100,billion, it around $350 billion, the same as Nigeria GDP.

X is a subscription platform. Advertising is secondary. He said emphatically, he doesn't want their money. Simple as that. It was televised.

How much is the value of the big money advertising from USA?

Elon outsmarts their dumb n evil ass, they will still come back to the everything x. That app when fully launched will be a monster. Those companies are literally giving up.

When the app is finally unveiled, those companies will run back for partnership. You think × is about tweeting ,no it has gone beyond that,soon you can do everything on that app including buying Wal-Mart goods. Elon is the only guy i respect for his ingenuity.

Na pure odogwu. He lives in the future.

Freedom is the ability to dump any platform that no longer benefits me. Walmart and other companies have the right to dump Twitter. Twitter is not the only social media platform on earth. If you go against me and what I believe in, I will also dump you, it is my right to choose who and what I want to associate with.

The concept of freedom and free speech is a farce sold to naive people. It never existed and would never do.

Igbos are already doing just that. You can see that no one is able to stereotype them negatively anymore because once you start, Igbos will quickly counter and attack you. Our quiet and dull nature in the past is long gone. If we had been very active in defending our integrity since early 2000, bastards would not be able to tag us ritualists when 80% of all ritual cases in Nigeria take place on their own soil. I rather be called a headless mob defending the integrity and reputation of my ethnicity than keep quite and allow idiots negatively stereotype my people.

Useless bragadacio, the fools are using third parties to advertise themselves, the mofos can't do without musk
