There has been a major ten year push inside of government to try and get companies (especially those in tech) to start decoupling from China on national security grounds as a way to get a similar outcome and not leave the US companies massi

This is a breathtakingly naive take. Like yes sure, get mad at the CCP but Apple have a long history of shit like this. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/11/20/apple-u...

I don’t ever want to hear again how Apple is some champion of privacy and ethics. I’ve lost count of how many scandals have come out of their relationship with China from the suicide nets to the repeated investigations showing their supply

Once again we have a situation where the only person making that final claim is a known serial liar and shit poster. Just like how last week he made that ridiculous claim about the promises he thought brand safety groups had made to him and

I can see you seem to be one of the very passionate for Elon types but you are fundamentally misunderstanding WHY advertisers are leaving in such high numbers. I promise you it has nothing to do with “activist groups” and everything to do w

This is delusional. I promise you they are doing this because it makes very very clear business sense and not some secret jealousy and resentment of dear Elon.

You don’t seem to understand WHY they are leaving. This isn’t some moral solidarity thing that they are doing for PR reasons.
