Yup. He’s going to lose the most monetizable users and advertisers if he does what he promises. No brand wants their ads next to purveyors of the N-word and all sorts of hot garbage Nazi speech.

It will continue to use the platform to interact with customers but not pay for advertising, GM added.

Who funded this corporate takeover, Putin? The Saudi's?

The Saudis already had a stake in Twitter and pledged a few more billion in equity to Musk for his takeover.

But yeah, it's basically "all of the above." Chinese pitched in too through Binance.

The best thing to do at this point is let Twitter die, cancel your accounts, and don't give them any traffic. There will be new upstarts.

I bet those golden parachutes have a fee-shifting provision in them, so Elon is going to end up paying their lawyers in addition to his own.

So Twitter’s now the new Parler?

Not going to link to it, but Elon retweeted fake news disinformation about Paul Pelosi, as a reply to a Hillary Clinton tweet, from absurd fake news source Santa Monica Observer that previously claimed that Hillary Clinton died in 2016 and was replaced by a body double.
