Interesting that he assumes this is advertisers attempting to control him/X/Twitter. Others would assume advertisers are just doing what they think is profitable, without care for how it affects him. Musk’s assumption isn’t implausible, though, because the specific advertisers in question are very politically active. I wonder if Musk’s assumption is an informed belief, a line for his base, or just personal perception.
