Interesting explanation from a decently large Twitter advertiser on why they've paused their ad budget on Twitter after keeping it running for the past couple of weeks. https://www.teamblind.com/post/i-told-my-team-to-pause-our-750kmonth-twitter-ads-budget-last-week-4dnbo1Ft
@mmasnick And yet, Elon is firing yet more sales people. Without sales people, no sales. Does he care?
@jeffjarvis @mmasnick That's genuinely baffling, and makes me wonder what his game here is, if not simply burning it all down.

It would not surprise me if Musk thinks the blue checkmark can *replace* advertisers.
Twitter speculation

I'm sure many have warned him that ads are most lucrative for the top users, and so a reduced-ad subscription for them will actually reduce revenue. He also said strange stuff like that Blue would help people have more relevant ads! Can't be great as advertiser to hear that. He seems to be a very poor listener, or dug in and refusing to lose face about it, or actually mentally unwell and unable to make rational decisions
