Weird it says "paused" and not "terminated". I think there's something wrong with my glasses, am I seeing it correctly?

Yes you did. They are just checking to see if their PR can handle it - capitalists have no problem with Nazism.

Fascism is the final defense against movements such as communism and socialism, given that it is what they turn to once there's evidence there's no good side to capitalism for the labor class (fair wages and civil rights always get rolled back; public-serving government is captured to serve the ownership class; upward mobility is sabotaged; etc.)
So it is impossible to be capitalist without anticipating fascism at least in the future. And while ethical capitalists exist who treat their workers relatively well and avoid unethical sourcing or production, they're much like ethical kings, in that they are the exception and are replaced with less-ethical owners. Even Gabe Newell will die or retire or be bought out.
In the end, the Musks and Zuckerbergs and Bezoses are like the Fords and Disneys and Bushes (and Busches) who are like the Rockefellers and Carnegies and Morgans, who all are glad to see the labor class languish in Great Depression era living conditions while they restore absolute autocracy. And they'd rather die, themselves, fighting to keep their assets, or watch it burn rather than give it up for a better, livable society.
In the end, the ownership class will tremble before communist revolution. The only alternative is extinction, or destruction of the environment that precludes population large enough for mass infrastructure.

Oh drag. Less ads about a shitty car brand. darn.

Only if you're a twitter user. Otherwise, that marketing budget will just be spent elsewhere.
Then again, why any user of this community would browse without an adblocker is beyond me.

I'm sure this is a given reason.
I can't help think posting ads on a platform owned by the head of a rival car company just as that company is tanking out and desperately flailing around to improve sales might be inadvisable for a whole host of reasons, though.

Imagine a species surviving world war 2 and the Holocaust then still being pro-nazi. So fucking stupid.
Less than 100 years. It's pathetic. Bring on the nuclear winter.
You're not getting out of climate change that easily.
A bad economy and uncertain future make people very afraid. It’s tempting to stick your head in the sand, blame all your problems on a specific demographic, then trust dear leader will punish the people that made you scared.
It’s completely divorced from reality, but reality sucks right now. People are scared. They’re taking the blue pill to feel better and pretend the horror all around them isn’t happening. They won’t max out their credit cards and become homeless. Dear Leader will fix things before that happens.
