    A man who has always lied to gain financially? No, that’s not a real source

    Twitter’s US advertising revenue plunged 59 percent year over year during a recent five-week period

    The NYT also said it talked to six ad agency executives who “said their clients continued to limit spending on the platform. They cited confusion over Mr. Musk’s changes to the service, inconsistent support from Twitter, and concerns about the persistent presence of misleading and toxic content on the platform.”

    Twitter traffic had already been trending downward for months, according to data from the internet infrastructure company Cloudflare and the web analytics firm Similarweb. But the pace of decline appears to have accelerated in recent days

    That’s enough for anyone but go ahead and believe a habitual liar who’s desperate to save his $44B life embarrassment

    Edit: fine, a quote from the man himself saying advertising revenue has crashed

        Just responding with a question?

        Give me a break

        Twitter Blue is a dud and will get them maybe 100 million a year. Less than they’re losing each quarter in ad revenue. A tiny fraction of losers subscribe

        Just stop, your ball gargling is embarrassing

        The company is doing shitty, even if you’re pathetic and only focus on what Musk has stated himself

          Answer, how about Twitter blue sales? Have any data?

          I see you just hate Musk because the internet told you to and have really no clue about how a business works.

          A Twitter Blue sale for Musk is way better than advertising. He gets a defined amount of money per customer, shows him half the ads and in the end even if user doesn’t use much Twitter he’s winning in both ends: already got money from the user, user isn’t causing load to the infrastructure.

            You have no data. Stop moving the goalposts

            I said their traffic is down as is ad revenue, which is a fact. You made up something, I called you out on it and provided sources. You still haven’t.

            Then you throw back with something that has been called out as a weak revenue source. Twitter Blue? Stop it, it’s embarrassing

            Twitter Blue is good revenue per user, but the number of users who subscribe is less than 1%. It’s pathetic and doesn’t make up for lost ad revenue. And for the usability of the site it’s the worst thing that ever happened and why traffic is down. No one wants to see responses from hateful dopes who paid $8 to be seen. Ask Regional Sports Networks how its going to have a much smaller number of people pay it more money directly instead of getting a big chunk because of a high user base (great, if your goal was bamkruptcy)

            The internet hasn’t told me to feel shit about Musk. Stop with that disingenuine nonsense to dismiss an intelligent adult’s ability to independently recognize another person is a loser. It’s an embarrassingly weak argument that I’m only disagreeing with your idolization because I have no independent thoughts. You’re the one whose only source of truth is from Musk himself. That’s sad and if you want to say someone has been told what to think…there it is, take a look in the mirror.

            I read what he says and see how he treats people, and the only conclusion you can arrive at if you’re not a sociopath is that Musk is a definite asshole loser, as are the people who worship him. He’s not smart. Not clever, and it’s clear his other businesses are doing well only because actual smart people are running things, not him. We see the result of his direct leadership and wow, it’s bad.

            I get it. The most pathetic and insecure people need someone to look up to. An ideal state of yourself is an insecure rich guy, I guess. Still a loser inside and out, but now you have more money.
