Man, Elon just never stops, does he? He has made one good addition to what was a perfectly good Twitter (Community Notes), and at least what, 30 bad decisions? Has there ever been a CEO as stupid as Elon has been to Twitter over this year? I mean damn, even being outed as a child molester and forced to resign probably wouldn't have been as bad.

Community Notes predate Musk.

Ad revenue in August was down 60% year over year, the report said.

Good

Holy shit, that’s brutal. That company is dead

I’ve seen estimates that put the loss of value of the company itself since Elon took over at something like 90%. If that’s anywhere even close to accurate… impressive. Most impressive.

Since Twitter is now private, we'll never know the real numbers, but the paper value of the Twitter brand itself being cast aside is a huge non-monetary loss.

Right?? Like, it was one of the most known brands in the world. You don’t throw that away if making money is your goal.
