I'll gladly pay $8 a month to keep them off Twitter forever.

Cry harder

Please make a complete list so I can stop patronizing these fascist companies.

He should remove their brand accounts.

Love my Audi even more.

If Twitter isn’t already a hostile place, it will become more so.

Oh no. A cereal company can’t spread its product all over. Bummer.

I guess these big companies are showing their real colors

DanWill37305484 So glad for them to save their money! I have never ever bought anything from any advert on twitter in my life! And I never ever will!

Dang General Mills, oh well.

I was at Twitter Office today, helping put people's stuff in boxes, escorting them out. It's only short term, he's hiring everyone back in a few weeks I tell them. I give them medical info for opiods, the pain. 🧟‍♀️🪦 They censored me! nbcsnl POTUS g20org

Don’t allow them back as advertisers in future.

Duly noted. I will now question the way they run their companies and value freedom of speech.

Can’t be any worse than how it was ran previously.

NFG

The Maga Trolls will help with advertising😂😂

Does anyone really think any major auto company besides Tesla is going to advertise on Twitter now that is is owned by the guy who is the largest shareholder in Tesla also owns Twitter?

Communistic..

ALL DEMOCRATS AND DEEP STATE SPONSORS

Whoop T Doo

BREAKING NEWS: Wisconsin Democrat election deputy director Kimberly Zapata was fired for fraudulent ballots.

Political cowards…afraid of what the tiny cabal of woke leftists will say about them.

Guessing that Tesla and Space X will be spending big on advertising with Twitter. 😂🤣😂

ALL “Central (FED) Banking” GLOBALIST controlled corporations.. no one needs them or the chemically laced foods and crap they sell! Keep Twitter free, and keep going in the direction to restore free speech to Twitter and hopefully to all media and tech platforms!

I'm glad to know which companies would rather support censorship by freezing their twitter ads now. I will NOT use or support ANY of those companies EVER again.

tsetiady Please make a tv series like Quantum Leap that has main story time travel using quantum computing technology... Please ... I love that kind of show

They are Tesla competitors- you should tell that too.

Only garbage companies are quiting.

Advertisers should abandon TWITTER as long as the antisemitism and hate continues. Their association will lead to a diminished reputation and brand loss. Those that stay should be BOYCOTTED. Just stop buying their stuff and see how long they continue to spend $ to lose $.

I’m blocking every single Ad

I'm confused. I do not pay a cent to be on Twitter, and I never see ads of any kind. Who sees ads from General Mills or Audi, or anybody else?

Twitter is going down like AOL

Lol good
