Advertisers Say They Do Not Plan to Return to X After Musk’s Comments

Nov. 30, 2023

Advertisers said on Thursday that they did not plan to reopen their wallets anytime soon with X, the social media company formerly known as Twitter, after its owner, Elon Musk, insulted brands using an expletive and told them not to spend on the platform.

At least half a dozen marketing agencies said the brands they represent were standing firm against advertising on X, while others said they had advised advertisers to stop posting anything on the platform. Some temporary spending pauses that advertisers have enacted in recent weeks against X are likely to turn into permanent freezes, they added, with Mr. Musk’s comments giving them no incentive to return.

Advertisers are “not coming back” to X, said Lou Paskalis, the founder and chief executive of AJL Advisory, a marketing consultancy. “There is no advertising value that would offset the reputational risk of going back on the platform.”

Mr. Musk has repeatedly criticized and alienated advertisers since buying Twitter last year. At one point, he threatened a “thermonuclear name & shame” against advertisers who paused their spending because they were concerned about his plans to loosen content moderation rules on X.

In recent weeks, more than 200 advertisers had halted their spending on X after Mr. Musk endorsed an antisemitic conspiracy theory and researchers called attention to instances of ads appearing alongside pro-Nazi posts on the platform. The company, which has made most of its revenue from advertising, is at risk of losing up to $75 million this quarter as brands back away.

Musk self-destruction speedrun

Musk self-destruction speedrun

This is one of the worse things about trumpism as it poisons the mind of people and turns them into raging idiots. This is a massive lose for humanity as I consider Elon musk one of the greatest innovators of the 21st centuries. Think about what he could do if it wasn't for assholes like Trump! Possibly the only man that could get humans to mars before 2030! Possibly a far bigger afford to transitioning society over to electric cars, possibly minduploading and so much more.

This is so sick.

Humans almost never do things in an optimal way. Always far below the optimal, unfortunately. That's why it took us 300 000 years to get to this point, instead of let's say 50 000 or 100 000.
