🎆NEW by me for @HillReporter:

X / Twitter has promised advertisers brand safety. But several companies and orgs told me they had concerns after their ads appeared next to pro-Hitler and antisemitic content.

Does brand safety exist for advertisers on X?

A spokesperson for Edmunds, a division of CarMax $KMX, messaged me, “Like all other X advertisers, Edmunds does not control when or where the ads may appear to users as they use the platform,”
after Edmunds' ad had appeared next to an antisemitic post. hillreporter.com/does-brand-saf…

Stephen Miller is behind America First Legal’s racist hashtag #DemolishDEI. Miller was Trump’s senior racist advisor.

Elon Musk boosted Miller’s election denial BS on @X last week. Musk is dedicated to spreading racism. Don’t do business with Musk’s @X. Stephen Miller and Elon Musk are a toxic racist pair. Don’t do business with @X. #DemolishDEI

Shopify has announced a partnership with Elon Musk's @X. I asked @Shopify how it reconciles Shopify's commitment to diversity with Elon Musk's attack on DEI. Musk said 'DEI must DIE' and called it 'discrimination.' The CEO of Shopify @tobi blocked me. My question to $SHOP stands. How does @Shopify reconcile its commitment to diversity with Elon Musk's attack on DEI, diversity and inclusion? @X has announced a new partnership with $SHOP

Yesterday, GOP Sen. JD Vance and Elon Musk called out Mark Cuban and the @dallasmavs on diversity and inclusion. Musk called DEI ‘the definition of racism.’

In Nov, Media Matters reported that ads on X for the @NBA Mexico appeared next to posts with white nationalist hashtags.

Both Elon Musk and JD Vance were apparently triggered by Mark Cuban's thread in support of DEI, diversity, equity and inclusion. So they clapped back at Cuban with silly questions about the @dallasmavs, the @NBA team Cuban owns.

SCOOP: Amy Kremer’s Women for America First Tax-Exempt Status Revoked, by me @ranttmedia

Organizer of Trump's Jan 6 rally had its tax-exempt status revoked for non-filing for 3 consecutive years. IRS spox: "May be inadvertent or may be otherwise." rantt.com/legal-liabilit… It's not clear how funds donated to Women For America First were allocated, nor what action, if any, the IRS may take to investigate donations. E.g., Publix heiress Julie Fancelli donated $300K to WFAF in advance of the Jan. 6 rally, WaPo first reported. rantt.com/legal-liabilit…

I emailed @Tesla board chair Robyn Denholm and head of investor relations Martin Viecha today with questions about Elon Musk's #Twitter activities and his impact on $TSLA. I will report if I receive a response. Source reporting in thread below. #CorpGov #RiskManagement Tesla approval rating sinks into negative territory, survey finds. $TSLA

Board of Salem Media Group has a fiduciary duty to shareholders to manage risk

Salem Media took a financial hit from publisher @Regnery’s recall of @DineshDSouza’s book ‘2000 Mules.’

Do $SALM shareholders want to assume more risk? #riskmanagement #CopGov
npr.org/2022/09/08/112… Are largest shareholders of Salem Media Group, parent company of @Regnery, publisher of Dinesh D’Souza’s recalled book 2000 Mules concerned about potential liability risk? $SALM #2000Mules #riskmanagement #CorpGov

Publisher of @DineshDSouza's '2000 Mules' book @Regnery told @NPR that "'some advance copies were distributed in error.'"

"Some advance copies"? Not exactly. ALL copies distributed to Amazon, Walmart, and Barnes & Noble, etc.

What was the "publishing error"? #2000Mules

Screenshot of publisher's notice to book distributor for Walmart. FULL RECALL of Dinesh D'Souza's '2000 Mules' book.

And spokesperson for Barnes & Noble emailed me:

"We can confirm that the publisher did notify us of the recall and for all books to be removed." #2000Mules

🚨NEW: Publisher of @DineshDSouza's book 2000 MULES has issued a FULL RECALL. I received this image from a book vendor for Walmart. The book's election fraud premise has been widely debunked.

I've asked publisher @Regnery why it issued the full recall. Will report. #Publishing “'My opinion then and my opinion now is that the election was not stolen by fraud,' Barr said. 'And I haven’t seen anything since the election that changes my mind on that, including the ‘2000 Mules’ movie.'” @reveal revealnews.org/article/true-t…

Charles Schwab, founder of @CharlesSchwab donated $36,500 to the Republican National Committee in July. Chuck gave $1 million to GOP super PACs affiliated with Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy in June.

@ProjectLincoln was right about Schwab. $SCHW

"The Lincoln Project, a group of anti-Trump conservatives, had featured Schwab in a recent campaign highlighting companies that donated to President Trump or the election objectors in Congress."

Chuck Schwab is still donating to GOP groups. $SCHW
