It's not companies pulling ads that kills the platform. That's not a root cause. Ads pulling out is a consequence.

The root cause of this, is the platform owner choosing to publically engage with a heavily charged emotional minefield where everyone and their dog has chosen hills to die on.

If your goal is to try make Twitter a successful company, wading into that mess is simply not a high quality decision.

While I'd normally support someone telling Disney to go fuck itself, it doesn't mean much coming from Musk.

Was he ever rumoured to be a pedo or anything like that?

Is Musk on drugs or something? Genuinely seems to be losing his mind

He’s probably not all that worried about Xwitter. He’s got billions to spare. Be like wrecking your Ferrari, blaming the wet road when you were just going too fast, and still having 4 more in the garage.

He’s just worried about saving face and how the boards of his companies are going to view his behavior.

Earth’s response, “yeah man, it was DEFINITELY your fault!!”

Imagine watching Kanye West destroy his public image and then in the same year thinking "Nothing bad will happen if I make antisemitic comments on the media platform I own."

So Mastodon looks to be the big after Twitter. When is the funeral for Twitter?

And you said tax cuts for the rich would work out.
