       | "Pausing". Until the next billionaire's club meeting, Tim and
       | Elon kiss and make up, and it's back to business as usual like
       | last time?
       | 
       | I hesitate to type out the cynical hot take, but at what point
       | does a company just say, "ya know, you're just not worth the
       | headache"? How many times does the company representative have to
       | say, "we're losing advertising dollars, and it's all the fault of
       | The Jews!" before you just cut ties, and don't want to be
       | associated with that noise?
       | 
       | Those are somewhat honest questions, because I'll allow a little
       | "well, with a multi-billion multi-national corporation it's just
       | not that easy". I really would like to know why it's obvious to
       | me to "as of today, we are pulling our advertising with $COMPANY,
       | and we won't be coming back any time soon", but not obvious to
       | (for example) Tim Cook.
