General Motors is pausing its advertising on Twitter now that the social media platform is owned by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the company said in a statement

The nation’s largest automaker said that it is making the change while it evaluates “Twitter’s new direction.” It said it will still utilize the platform to interact with customers but will not pay for advertising. “We are engaging with Twitter to understand the direction of the platform under their new ownership. As is normal course of business with a significant change in a media platform, we have temporarily paused our paid advertising,” the company said in an emailed statement.

Advertising made up 92% of Twitter’s revenue in the second quarter, and if advertisers are scared away from Twitter by its new ownership, it will be disastrous for the company, said Dan Ives, tech analyst for Wedbush Securities. “It sends an ominous signal,” Ives said. “GM is the first, but it’s not going to be the only one. We have to wait and see if there’s a wave. On the day that Musk closes the deal, it’s not the news he wanted to hear.

General Motors will be taught a lesson favoring the Jim Crow, KKK, Hitler crowd on the left. Too bad the majority, 70%, are normal and on the right. Worldwide boycott coming, they are fooked

Didn't you wonder how the GMC buy out worked out from Obama bailout? Obama bailed out GMC when GMC was going to file for bankruptcy. In total, GM received $52 billion from the U.S. government, but only $6.7 billion of this amount was considered a loan.

NO ONE CARES

They're not telling you the real reason why. Every ad dollar GM gives to Twitter from here forward goes into Elon's pocket & further fuels (no pun intended) Tesla kicking their butt on the roads.

GM HAS COMMITED SUICIDE!

And who is losing? Cry baby

Nobody cares.

Crybabies!!

Competition at the technical level!!!

So what? I’ve bought & sold hundreds of vehicles, most GM models, never once was the transaction influenced by an ad, never by social media. gm mtbarra

Their ads were probably focused on electric cars anyway, so who cares?

Gee, competitor to the guy who now owns Twitter doesn't want to give him money. I'm shocked!

Gender Motors won’t be selling an any EV Soyverado’s or Soymaro’s to the average American anyways.

Of course GM is not going to give money to the owner of Tesla. Why would they subsidize a competitor?

F*CKGM GM

Come on GM stop the political power play.

Good! Quit spending money on ads & GIVE THE TAXPAYERS BACK THEIR MONEY! How about that?

TwitterExodus

Socialist democrats are upset to loose their state controlled media

They had advertising? Is GM afraid of competition or are they getting 'woke'? There are other vehicles to buy, no worries GM People might be getting tired of woke

Wao may be in the next decision steep, they unplug from internet and only keep TV as advertisers just with the main target generation the smokers

Good lol, it’s a waste of $ anyway, nobody watches that garbage

General Motors canceling their twitter account because Elon Musk bought Twitter is silly. I understand this to say ….. since I can’t be top dog I quit.

Tesla’s are that good they don’t need advertising, let that sink in..

Good!!

Wooo hoooo

Good. Less ads.

Alright

Who cares about GM in 2022

I think this is the reason why America is fair. Thank you. Amen

Childish
