Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease the activists.
Extremely messed up! They’re trying to destroy free speech in America.
Lay off half the workforce.... again ...
I would be willing to pay $2-3 per year.
OR MORE
I’m sure the businessman in Elon knew this was coming . . . I think he’ll pick up the MAGA crowd for 96 bucks a year
.
Then it is time for conservative leaning businesses to step up and get advertising on Twitter ...for the first time in years without retribution!!!
Yes. You nailed it.
Twitter can easily gain more market share than the competition because the competition wants to control political speech and thought, and deplatform and demonetize anyone who gets out of line.
Twitter can easily add features that compete with Facebook/Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc. It might turn into a platform for x.com to get into competition in the same market space as companies like Amazon and Netflix.
I think this is what all of the foaming at the mouth is really about. The left will not be able to silence and censor those who disagree with them.
That won’t last.
I get that Leftists aren't smart enough to understand why he bought Twitter -- to destroy the goddamn rat's nest carrying the plague that had infected our must-have national discussion about an patently-obvious stolen election and the installation of a puppet-state in 2020 -- but why constitutional conservatives can't grok this is astounding and a little sad.
Musk is relying on his ability to reinvent Twitter into a better WhatsApp, but it will require a timeline of at least a year. Really it doesn't matter that much to him, he could offload it at a discount in the next year and take the write-off.
Meanwhile, just overnight he locked out HALF of Twitter's communitard mandarin workforce, none of whom were remotely conservative or even supporters of representative democracy. The very people who played a yuge role in making the 2020 theft even possible, and likely instantly bankrupting many of them.
Who on this website can even remotely claim to have done the same? We should be sending Musk congratulations, handing out candy and ululating in the streets!
He fired nearly the entire executive suite, two of whom were red-dot upper-caste turkey faces that had bragged about their censorship of Trump and US during 2020; one of whom, she gave Elon kudos in a tweet to their one-on-one meeting ... just 48 hours before she resigned as in "GTFO, turkey face." LOFL!!!
Ya'll just don't get it, you give away so much potential Schadenfreude you could be enjoying, and instead suck up the fearporn like a thirsty camel trying to refill two humps. Every damn day. You can't get this edification from just reading headlines or one tweet.
I don't understand why the SEC didn't get involved over that. Other than political reasons.

What craziness!
“We can’t control mean tweets - so we want to destory Twitter!”
LOL!
And what are they going to replace it with to get *their* message out?
Guess they have not thought that far ahead.
Don’t despair, it’s a good thing! This action identifies the enemies and gives us opportunities to respond. There are more of us than there is of them so we can have a huge economic impact upon these enemies of Americans by simply becoming familiar with corporate subsidaries, and redirecting our financial decisions to smaller companies who aren’t a part of the spider’s web of deceitful enterprises. Like “My Pillow” for example, or local family businesses.
As far as I’m concerned, this is a big, wonderful thing!
It was inevitable the moment Musk pointed out that the subscriber numbers were bloated by bots. Advertisers that paid for reaching a higher number of people than actually existed were bound to be a little cranky over the scam. They’ll be back, albeit at a lower and fairer rate.
I don’t believe Elon Musk will be clipping food coupons any time soon.
That’s OK. The savings from firing half of Twitter’s work force should offset the loss in ad revenue.
General Mills (Cheerios), Mondelez International (Oreos) and Pfizer (covid jabs) are among the companies that have, at least for now, halted their advertising on Twitter.
If members and usage increase, advertisers will want that market. I suspect some advertisers hope for a better deal re-negotiating a Twitter deal.
