Big brands are spending small sums on X to stay out of Musk's crosshairs

Not helping the growing view that Musk and company are gangster like in how they run things.

I know you can find evidence of this in from his past behavior. But it is still crazy to see it so readily embraced in the present.

What category of expenditure does this money come from? It's not capex for sure. Ad budget?

Does this get accounted for as tax?

Seems like a weird thing to have to do.

Sounds like a protection racket.

Big brands are cowards.

USA much freedom

Much WOW
