Source? Musk claimed a "massive drop" but who knows how much that is, if he exaggerated for effect or whether it's permanent ("paused" doesn't mean permanent, if it makes financial sense advertisers will return).

Yet number of users increased faster than ever. These kinds of predictions reminds me of the expectations that Trump would be prosecuted any day now thorough out his whole presidency.
Maybe Twitter will crash and burn, maybe Musk has absolutely no idea what he's doing, or maybe generally outraged people are bad at predicting the future because they're easily misled by their general dislike of someone's personality.
Source on this? I've seen reports that the number of "monetizable daily active users" is up, but nothing about the actual user count.
Someone responded with a graph whose Y axis started at 0. You couldn’t see the “massive jump” anymore.
It was actually like 0.5% increase based on the data in Elon’s chart.
Elon: hold my beer.
They have no money. It’s not coming in, and only gets worse when the site goes down.
They’re facing employment lawsuits over the last two weeks. They’re facing a discrimination lawsuit for requiring an employee with an ADA accommodation to work from home to work from the office (after that announcement).
The FTC is mad. Congress is mad. Who knows what other lawsuits/etc will pop up.
I just don’t understand how they can survive. Seems like chapter 7. Not “renegotiate the debt and we swear we’ll be fine” chapter 11. Sell every last post-it note and auction off the wall art to pay the creditors chapter 7.
I knew he’d ruin Twitter. I never expected anything like this. I expected people to slowly leave (platform and employment) due to new policies and values.
This was, and honestly is, unimaginable.
Did he really destroy $44B in three weeks?
