Advertising revenue fell because of Elon's new "extreme right wing beyond conspiracy theories" stance. It is not because of the sales staff not responding to emails.

Doubtful. Especially when large clients of twitter have publicly stated the reason for their reduced ad budget is lack of support and bad, for brand, content next to their ads.

wow that sounds insane? I wish you would have had a source attached to this (an actual source btw, not some online journalist writing an opinion piece)

Just read his Twitter feed. He has repeatedly retweeted (source: his own Twitter account) not only right-wing memes like QAnon stuff, but antisemitic ones. I will then direct you to Popehat's Rule of Goats should you need it.

You are asking for the impossible. It would take a fiscal quarter for a source that isn’t an opinion. Perhaps the OP should not include Elon’s insane approach to content moderation as a new stance but simple negligence by the adtech strategy they’ve devised. In either case Elon’s going to need to adjust in some capacity or adopt the chum ad approach to monetize his content.

Look at who elon has banned and who has has chosen to unban or not ban. It's pretty simple math.
