You mean advertisers aren’t climbing all over themselves to buy spots on it? Maybe the new streaming service will save the day.

He could try suing companies for not running ads. It seems to be working for Elon.
I’d heard that he was going to do that, but is he and it’s working!?
Depends on how you define "working".
He managed to kill a non-profit that advised not advertising on Xitter because it's a racist shithole. I don't think it's gonna bring back any advertisers, but with the help of a pet Texas judge he's SLAPP suing his detractors out of existence.
One could argue that the non profit has largely done its job at this point so it's only a symbolic victory.
wait what?? i havent heard of this?
Yeah, Musk blamed GARM for advertisers "boycotting" X so he sued them then they disbanded. Of course, Mush and Yaccarino are strutting about like roosters apparently not realizing how obvious this suit makes it that you do business with X at your own peril.
He just filed the lawsuit in the last few days. Too early to tell if it’s working, but many legal experts are laughing at it.
