> Regardless of what Musk ends up doing Wait really? Why do you think this, if he does succeed in turning into to hellscape he promised advertisers he wouldn't

  Nothing Musk allows Twitter to become will be worse than Tucker Carlson, and he has plenty of advertisers. Advertisers pretend to have morals, but they go where eyeballs are in the end.

    Fox News ad revenue is way lower than twitter and they are notorious for losing advertisers. Additionally I think they have a pretty narrow advertising base. I mean sure nothing to shake a stick at but not something you want to lean into if you want to grow from Twitters size

      > I think they have a pretty narrow advertising base Maybe the number of advertisers is going down, but their ad business is still doing well[1]. If someday their only two advertisers were ExxonMobil and the NRA, but they bought a combined total of $4B in ads, then Fox News would be doing incredibly well. The same could be true for Twitter. The advertisers who don't care about the site's stigma may end up just snapping up more inventory, as Fox advertisers seem to have done. 1. https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/fox-corp-beats-quarterly-revenue-estimates-2022-11-01/ https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/fox-corp-beat...
