Thank God for these advertisers. Twitter is very powerful — demagogues can use it to subvert democracy, and repressed peoples can use it to start revolutions. To have this service by controlled by one person — no board and no shareholders to answer to — is to put too much power in the hands of one person. And Musk has proved himself to be unworthy of wielding such power (for example, by tweeting a link to a conspiracy theory on Pelosi). If these advertisers can provide checks and balances on Musk's power, I won't be one to complain about that.
