A lot of that fat was in areas like trust and safety.
Which is now coming to bite them as EU is expected to announce the final warning to Twitter about the spread of toxic content before they impose a 6% fine of total revenue. All whilst advertising revenue has plummeted and continues to drop.
No matter where you look Elon is not showing a lot of business acumen.
- al_borland 2y agoFrom what I understand, Elon’s primary motivation behind buying Twitter was to preserve free speech on the internet. That’s kind of an American thing. I don’t see Elon changing that to bend to the laws and rules of the EU. I have my opinions, but one of them that’s mixed in there is respecting the willingness to stay true to the ideals and value of free speech, even if it means losing advertisers or whatever else. Freedom of speech is important, and we can’t have honest debates about serious topics without it.
