He's prepping his excuse for closing twitter down when it inevitably runs out of money. "It wasn't me, it was the advertisers trying to blackmail me."

lol is his logic that it’s somehow the advertiser’s responsibility to keep his company running? Cause I’m no business knowledger but I don’t think you can blame the customers for your product sucking

It's dumb, but does it move the needle on ad revenue? I can't imagine a business choosing not to make an additional dollar in profit advertising on twitter just because the CEO said GFY to them when they pulled their ad revenue off the platform. If twitter turns out to be a single dollar more valuable to ad-spend on than another platform, why would they choose to go elsewhere? Hurt feelings?

Either here or in the YOSPOS thread an advertising goon pointed out that twitter ads don't really work and most of the ad spend on it is due to legacy momentum. What's likely going to happen is they'll see that not having ads led to no impact on revenue.

Yeah, so the decision to no longer advertise is based purely on revenue, not whether or not some boer with a head that looks like a white balloon just told their CEO to go gently caress themselves.

"The Man Who Cannot Deadlift"

I'll admit it's extremely funny that Musk just assumed that he was entitled to advertisers forking money over to him. The fact that he's blaming their "boycott" and not just owning up to the fact that advertisers don't want to associate with a toxic brand shows such a pathetic failure to understand business 101 concepts. "How dare you blackmail us by not giving us your money! We're documenting all this right now and you'll rue the day when we go to your managers and get you fired!"
