Related: About this forumTwitter Heads for Bankruptcy - Elon Musk Destroys Business by Telling Companies Not to Advertise - Joe Blogs
Elon Musk has gone INSANE and recently announced that companies should STOP ADVERTISING on Twitter (now known as X) and that they should GO F**K THEMSELVES. Twitter is entirely dependent upon Advertising Revenue and without it the business is BANKRUPT. In this video I look at the situation that Elon Musk has put Twitter into and discuss whether the business can survive this latest body blow.

(102,574 posts)1. For all its issues, the original "Twitter" pre-Musk had some purpose and value...
and there was at least SOME effort to maintain and contain the worst on the platform. I have to wonder how its founder (who supported the Musk purchase, despite clear danger signs early on) feels now.

how much of that was actual belief in Eloon or how much was just wanting the deal in order to cash out.

Can't have a global public town square for disseminating information including about autocracies. Just ask his Saudi backer(s).
