Founders

Musk is taking on the group of advertisers that have pulled their advertising from X.

He’s arguing that these companies are depriving people of an important public resource.

I’m not going to get into the weeds of this, but it’s a reminder that big companies have way too much control over users. 

This is something that’s been happening in the live events space for years and it’s why you’re paying so much for tickets - monopolies dictate everything. 

It means that if advertisers or investors pull out for some reason, we (the fans) lose a resource.

If the money starts flowing again, there’s rarely any sign that it’s been put towards improving the product.

Users/fans don’t really have freedom of choice because they can’t really win.

It’s a free market for the big companies, and the select few who run them, but the rest of us are just pawns.

We need to give control back to the fans and the users.
