Brilliant business move: Musk decides to lure back advertisers by threatening them
Elon Musk is threatening to “name and shame” advertisers who have hit pause on Twitter while his takeover of the social media platform sows chaos.
The idea, apparently, is that Musk’s fans would boycott those companies until they agree to start funneling ad bucks to Twitter again.
General Mills, General Motors, Volkswagen, and Pfizer are among the major corporations that have stopped advertising on Twitter since Musk bought it a week ago for $44 billion.
The vast majority of Twitter’s revenue comes from advertising, and the new boss was not happy to see the bottom line drying up.
“Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease the activists,” Musk tweeted Friday morning.
“Extremely messed up! They’re trying to destroy free speech in America.”
Ironically, after Twitter users flagged the tweet, a Guardian story about why advertisers were actually fleeing the site was added as “context.”
Hate speech on the platform ballooned after Musk’s purchase, and banned users immediately began clamoring for reinstatement, undoubtedly making advertisers nervous.
Musk’s complaint about their abandonment led conservative operative Mike Davis to tweet at the new owner: “Name and shame the advertisers who are succumbing to the advertiser boycotts. So we can counter-boycott them.”
The SpaceX and Tesla founder then replied: “Thank you. A thermonuclear name & shame is exactly what will happen if this continues.”
The billionaire’s vow seems unlikely to calm corporate jitters and bring advertisers back.

Has he offered advertisers a 50% discount after claiming for the last three months that 50% of Twitter "users" are bots?

Here’s The Full List Of Major Companies Who Pulled Advertising After Elon Musk Decided To Make Twitter A Free-Speech Platform For All
Woke’ corporations that have dominated social media giant Twitter for years are pulling their ads in the aftermath of Elon Musk’s takeover of the platform.
Pfizer on Thursday announced that it was ‘pausing’ ads, but it wasn’t the only corporation upset with Americans being allowed to discuss politics openly on the major digital platform.
Some advertisers are concerned that Mr. Musk could scale back content moderation, which they worry would lead to an increase in objectionable content on the platform. Others are temporarily halting their ads because of the uncertainty at the company as top executives exit and Mr. Musk considers a raft of changes, some of the people said.
“Food company General Mills Inc., Oreo maker Mondelez International Inc., Pfizer Inc. and Volkswagen AG’s Audi are among a growing list of brands that have temporarily paused their Twitter advertising in the wake of the takeover of the company by Elon Musk, according to people familiar with the matter,” WSJ reported.
General Motors Co. paused its spending on the social-media platform last week.
Many other companies are doing the same. An executive at one major ad agency said about 20 of its clients had temporarily paused Twitter spending.
A former clerk for Justice Gorsuch, Mike Davis, called on Elon to publicly name these advertisers so they could boycott them.
Elon responded by promising to “name & shame” advertisers fleeing due to pressure from activist groups.
Elon Musk:
Thank you.
A thermonuclear name & shame is exactly what will happen if this continues.
