With the way he's running this, I'm a bit confused as to why he didn't just buy Truth Social directly. Wouldn't have cost him nearly as much.

He bought the users. Elon knows that people are lazy and will not change websites.

Maybe.... I don't know, just throwing ideas out there.... you shouldn't have Musked all over Twitter nor fired its core developers? Again, just thinking out loud....

Wait, the white supremacists and Nazis that he caters to aren’t making up the ad revenue? Well I’ll be!

Remember the 50% number is just what he was comfortable with publishing to the public

We have no reason to believe his public statistics

100% of the ads I see on Twitter today are dropshipping scams, while in the pre-musk era they were highly targeted to my job and interests to the point that if there wasn't the "ad" tag I couldn't distinguish that.

They can't cost the same for the advertiser, a generic dropshipping scam that targets everyone must be cheap

It's funny how he's publicly confirming that he's failing.
