I used to imagine the super rich knew what was actually happening behind the scenes, but Elon showed me they really have no more clue then we do.I guess there's no grand conspiracy, just a bunch of people who have the money to spitball about it and those who can only complain.
Twitter Ad Sales Plummet 59%

Twitter is now worth just one-third of what Elon Musk paid for the social-media platform, according to Fidelity, which recently marked down the value of its equity stake in the company.Musk has acknowledged he overpaid for Twitter, which he bought for $44 billion, including $33.5 billion in equity. More recently, he said Twitter is worth less than half what he paid for it.
Fidelity first reduced the value of its Twitter stake in November, to 44% of the purchase price. That was followed by further markdowns in December and February.
Elon Musk recently said Twitter's advertising business was on the upswing. "Almost all advertisers have come back," he asserted, adding that the social media company could soon become profitable.
But Twitter's U.S. advertising revenue for the five weeks from April 1 to the first week of May was down 59 percent from a year earlier, according to a leaked internal presentation.
Twitter's ad sales staff believe that advertisers are concerned by the rise in hate speech and pornography on the social network, as well as more ads featuring online gambling and marijuana products.
OOPS: Microsoft Owns "X" Trademark for Xbox
Elon Musk's sudden decision to rebrand Twitter as X may run into the unyielding wall of trademark law—but not because its logo looks suspiciously familiar to a variety of typeface fonts. Instead, the problem may be in the X brand itself, according to legal experts. Microsoft's trademark application on the brand mark "X" was filed all the way back in 2003 and last renewed on July 18, 2023 for its X-Box.
Musk tried to have "Twitter" removed from the building sign, but was stopped by the San Francisco Police Department, because he did not get a permit to do so.
But sure, trust this moron with your personal data and banking information.

Musk Sued for Falsely Naming Man as Neo-Nazi
A young man falsely accused by Elon Musk of being a federal agent posing as a neo-Nazi has launched a lawsuit against the former richest man in the world.
Earlier this year, college student Ben Brody, 22, had his life turned upside down when he was accused of being a part of a Pacific Northwest neo-Nazi group. The claims occurred after a neo-Nazi had his mask pulled off during a brawl with Proud Boys in Oregon City on June 24th.
The unmasked neo-Nazi bore a passing resemblance to Brody, who once wrote on a website for his Jewish fraternity that he wanted to work for the government.
According to the lawsuit, Brody suffered a "severe degree of mental stress, anguish, fear, personal embarrassment, and psychological harm which disrupted his daily life" and worried that being publicly connected to a neo-Nazi group will impact his future employment.
Brody filed the lawsuit against Musk on Monday after he and his family were forced to flee their home due to the continued harassment and threats which resulted from Musk promoting the dangerous conspiracy against him.
Brody is being represented by attorney Mark Bankston of the Texas law firm Farrar & Ball. Bankston previously represented two Sandy Hook parents who won $45 million in damages against conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
