Would it explain why it fell in US and EU, but not Asia?
- meepmorp 3y agoAre you saying the only plausible explanation is, "the Jews?"
- Ygg2 3y agoNo. Where did you hallucinate me saying that? According to Elon it's just the ADL lobbied hard in US & EU.
- hhh 3y agoAnd why did they lobby? It’s not like Twitter has become some utopia since he bought it. It’s gone to shit and is increasingly filled with a huge amount of racist and antisemitic sentiment. After that, there’s (exaggerated) a billion crypto scams.
- Ygg2 3y agoCould be millions of reasons. Maybe they don't like way Elon is running the place. Maybe they lost contacts in purges Elon did. They disagree with people he let onto the platform.
- stephen_g 3y agoAs if that had anything to do with it? Twitter under Musk has been a disaster, I’m not surprised companies are withdrawing from it. A lot of dropping off who were once very active users too, and basically no part of any of that has anything to do with the ADL.
- bad_user 3y agoTwitter's ad revenue plunged due to mismanagement and current economic conditions. Lest we forget, when Musk took over, the workforce dropped by 80%, which meant, first of all, that a lot of advertisers lost over night their contacts at Twitter. And while moderation may have stayed in place, Elon Musk also started unblocking far-right accounts and he can't keep his mouth shut. I can't speak for Asia, but multinational brands (like Coca-Cola) are actively avoiding controversy and you don't need activists for such an effect.
- Ygg2 3y agoFair points, but I sense a discrepancy. If multinationals are leaving X in droves, why wouldn't they leave it in Asia?
- stonogo 3y agoBecause the hate and outrage peddlers that Musk un-banned are not posting in anything but English.
- notahacker 3y agoand it's a relatively marginal revenue stream that was expected to grow, and Elon's erratic behaviour and vice signalling garners few column inches there.
- bakuninsbart 3y agoFor the same reason Musk's invitation to cover the legal costs of people getting cancelled for what they post on twitter didn't apply to the Saudi man who was sentenced to death: What happens in other parts of the world isn't of much interest to Americans.
- caeril 3y ago> multinational brands (like Coca-Cola) are actively avoiding controversy You think that multinational brands (like Adidas, Target, PepsiCo, and Anheuser-Busch) have been striving to avoid controversy lately? Really? It's more correct to say that multinational brands avoid controversy in one political direction. They seem to have no qualms embracing it in the other.
- csomar 3y agoMaybe the cooling of the tech sector in the US/EU has something to do with it. Tech in Asia seems to be fine.
