I can think of multiple distinct reasons not to run any ads on Twitter right now. Which is frankly making me really sad, as I liked Twitter, and had some respect for Elon:
- The CEO also owns/leads a primary competitors (as you said).
- The political turmoil attracts a lot of bad-for-brand content on the platform.
- Having ads on Twitter makes it seem like you support what Elon's doing.
- Elon firing 85% of the staff means the platform's behavior, security and results are unreliable and can't be trusted.
- Looming bankruptcy of Twitter (announced by the CEO himself).

- themoonisachees 4y agoWhat respect did you have for musk?
- datpiff 4y agoHe's rich
- BulgarianIdiot 4y agoPushing at businesses everyone said are a stupid idea and will fail. People forget what the status quo was. Oh, I know he didn't found Tesla, and I know he didn't personally build the rockets in Space X. But such initiatives still need champions.
- stjohnswarts 4y agoI think asking people why people have respect for "X" is acting like it's not okay to have an opinion? There are tons of people that like(d) Elon Musk for various reasons. It's just an opinion, not something that has to be validated to a random internet person.
- dTal 4y agoBold of you to attack the act of asking "why" on a site dedicated to gratifying intellectual curiosity.
- stjohnswarts 4y agotwitter was my favorite next to reddit. Now it's dying and that sucks. The controlled chaos is what made it strong, kind of like reddit. Now that Musk is trying to put it into a straight jacket of his ego, brings in the worst of the worst banned twitter accounts, it's doomed, or will become so diminished it doesn't matter any more like digg.
- rolenthedeep 4y agoWoah, digg still exists? Oh, it's garbage now. Neat.
