The billions in ad revenue hasn't materialised for Twitter which is why Musk is becoming increasingly unhinged.

The internet is a strange beast. Getting 50 million users is easy. Monetising them is hard.

I stopped being impressed with headlines that boast about sign ups once I had this revelation.

Twitter do have billions in ads revenue including this year.

Musk made a series of anti-"brand" decisions which caused a lot of advertisers to leave.
