"~50% drop in advertising revenue" Hmm... What could've caused it (?) elon (?)

Maybe send another car to space. There's just not enough trash floating around.

Maybe if he would stop fucking ruining everything about the site...

Muskie-baka can't figire it out. I feel obliged to help him.

Oh cool daily Twitter news updates are on Lemmy too. I have never had a Twitter account and I will never have a Twitter account.

Elon did a business

I wonder how the revenue would have look liked if he hadn't gone out of his way to cater to right-wing nutjobs with all his might. Who knows, maybe he would've been able to turn a profit through his numerous schemes like the paid verification and such.

A spokesperson for everyone who isn't a sociopathic spoiled rich kid in adult pants was quoted as saying, "Gee, that's too bad."

Is this even a real tweet? I cannot find the source.

Awesome. I didn't doubt he was stupid enough to write it, just couldn't find it. According to article you linked ~50% might actually be closer to 89% which is extra hilarious.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Only 50%? That's far from his apparent goal of destroying his company.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

He’s not selling it to me well

Maybe if the remaining users that are still on twitter need to jump ship just to really set in stone the amount of user drop off they might have. That or upload tones of photos and videos to try and overload there servers.

Didn’t……didn’t Twitter users have the “luxury of anything else” before he showed up? Lmfao.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It's funny how he's publicly confirming that he's failing.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (6 children)

The moment Threads properly implement hashtags and trending topics, Twitter is finished.

Zuckerberg doesn't even need to federate to achieve this. He got well over 100 million signups. He's good.
