Remember like last week when Elon claimed Twitter would be cash-positive this quarter?

Don't think on it. Too much laughter could cause muscle strain.

Twitter will be removed from Microsoft Advertising just before Twitter moves to its new high-priced API (starting @ $42,000 per month)

Maybe I'm not grasping the genius here, but I don't think charging companies $42,000 a month to use the Twitter API was a good idea.

In other "look at this fucking idiot" news, Musk was given an opportunity this week to address an advertising conference and attempt to reassure them as well as persuade them to return to Twitter.

Then he said this.

Well, that's just the stupid woke media cherry-picking, right? Making him look bad?

Yes, the notoriously woke Wall Street Journal.

Elon literally gave the speech intended for his fanboys to advertisers instead.

He doesn't understand how to persuade people. He assumed advertisers would just be on his side.

They don't care about his brainworms bullshit. They care about money.

So advertisers are leaving and remaining advertisers are losing access to tools that make advertising on Twitter easier because Musk wanted to charge Microsoft $42k a month to provide those tools *to its own advertisers.*

Given this, how does anyone still have imposters syndome?

The fact he chose to do part of his ridiculous media rehabilitation tour on Tucker fucking Carlson's show THE VERY WEEK THE FOX DEFAMATION SUIT WAS DOMINATING HEADLINES was the shit cherry on the diarrhea sundae.

“@Nash076 Looking forward to hearing the twisted logic to explain why it's a brilliant 9th dimensional chess move to intentionally antagonize advertisers while reducing features and rolling out a subscription service in a time when people are across the board cutting subscriptions.”
