Twitter had 5 billion in ad revenue prior to being sold. Not any more. Musk paid twice what it;s worth in a vain attempt to control the narrative.. Twitter will never be a viable entity for Musk and could very well be his undoing regardless of what his sycopant fanboys say.

Freedom is not a state. It is an act. It is not some enchanted garden perched high on a distant plateau.. Freedom is a continuous action we all must take, and each generation must do its part to create an even more fair, more just society.-John Lewis
Too bad Elon couldn't hear your well informed opinion as you undoubtedly know so much more than him.
"Control the narrative"? Shucks, I naively thought that's what twitter was employing thousands of overpaid useless wankers for.
Let's see whether your bold statements age well, shall we ?

Found this about managing Elon and Space X. Interesting.......

What that is describing is just about any corporate environment in the world. You either play the game, or you stay an intern wondering why everyone else is being promoted.
Most communists are keen to play the "Blend in, do enough, leave me in peace" card in such environments, whilst the players stick their necks out on making those big decisions that propel companies into the stratosphere, or space in this case - and sometimes they fail miserably & nobody remembers them at all. We've all had those bosses.
Just another butthurt Reddit commie who probably reckons Lenin was a "top bloke" who shared everything with the masses. Oh but he didn't did he. "But I'd be different if I were the socialist leader of the world!" ... yeah, heard that before.. Just console yourselves that Musk, like Caesar, will not always be the richest man in the world, but somebody else will be.

I’ve never understood why Musk generates such extreme opinion, ranging from logos’ blushing man-love crush and Spigzy’s ‘I’m not a fanboy but-ism’ to Sonic’s extreme contempt.
I suspect most of us find Musk an intriguing but generally irritating fella, but then shrug and think he’s not anyone who excites any real feelings about.

Losing ad revenue and now much more. Twitter's revenue is all ad based (on a pre-paid basis so Musk has already blown though much of next years budget on top rolling about 14B in debt on the books. . How many friggin CEO's are out there tweeting liking a feckless, chuckle-fuck faced teenager lusting for attention? Just this one. Here he is groveling again for money ignorant of the fact that he keeps alienating his core customer base. Now this here is some serious irony.

Musk tweeted several times last night first complaining and then berating Apple for stopping their advertising. It’s a weird approach to take - why does he think these companies advertising is a divine right? Does he really think berating them publicly is going to make them think he is a serious player?

Why doesn’t Tesla or Starlink advertise on Twitter? Do they hate freedom of speech?

What free speech? Oh, you mean free hate speech.
You missed the best reply to that tweet from the Apple CEO. It was picture of Cartman saying 'Respect my authoriti!'Sonic1 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 29, 2022 3:04 amLosing ad revenue and now much more.

Just about sums him up.
In the last couple of days Musk has celebrated his concept of free speech by posting a Pepe meme, well known as a far right trope. Then he posted a picture of his bedside table, with massive gun prominent.
I get that the likes of logos are heavily invested in him, but are they seriously comfortable to be so admiring of someone who increasingly looks Trump.
I don’t get it. Logos was on the right side of the Trump issue: why the coquettish crush on this Musk cunt?

Better than some imaginary fairy in the sky, no?
Perhaps capital isn't the Right's unifying force. Maybe we should change the name to Greedism. Probably more accurate.
The Left doesn't seem to have a unifying force, atm. It has been split by identity politics etc.
I thought you’d agreed to leave as Alexandra told you you weren’t welcome to post, vlad
