Interesting explanation from a decently large Twitter advertiser on why they've paused their ad budget on Twitter after keeping it running for the past couple of weeks. https://www.teamblind.com/post/i-told-my-team-to-pause-our-750kmonth-twitter-ads-budget-last-week-4dnbo1Ft

@mmasnick And yet, Elon is firing yet more sales people. Without sales people, no sales. Does he care?

@jeffjarvis @mmasnick That's genuinely baffling, and makes me wonder what his game here is, if not simply burning it all down.

@PeoriaBummer @mattblaze @jeffjarvis @mmasnick But didn‘t Musk thrive (!) on Twitter? I feel like he built much of his "Richest Man Alive Tony Stark" identity there? Why burn down the main host of your public persona?

@oetting @mattblaze @jeffjarvis @mmasnick Based on his behavior, he seems to hate the people that work there and the popular users. I don’t know why. It’s hard to psychoanalyze someone who speaks in a mixture of contradictory hype and adolescent memes.
