And least as important, reply (if necessary to another corporate mail address) every email with Twitter/X in the footer, with a kind request to stop promoting and facilitating X.

It is a strange thing to put money into it, considering not even csam is enough to make at least eu institutions to go away from x.

Seems like musk can do anything he wants. What's worse than this?

I'd argue putting it into people's field of view could sway an individual, and if one person can be moved, more could follow.

That side already proved that boycotting works, in their disgust of a trans-indivual advertising beer, and certain groups being mortally offended that folk could suggest BDS actions towards Israel.
