  Car brands are pulling ads from Twitter claiming content moderation concerns. Or...is it because one of their largest competitors now runs Twitter & they aren't sure how he can use that to his advantage by gaining insights into how people engage with different car brands / ads?

  “Mr. Musk participated in a video call with WPP...& some of its clients such as Coca-Cola Co., Unilever and Google. Mr. Musk stressed that Twitter would be a safe place for brands, promising to rid the platform of bots and add community-management tools” https://www.wsj.com/...

  total own goal by Musk that will take significant work and time to regain trust of brands and their agencies who are accountable for them. More brands and likely publishers soon, too. https://www.wsj.com/...

  “Food company General Mills, Oreo maker Mondelez International, Pfizer, 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.” https://www.wsj.com/...

  Dropping this right here so that @elonmusk can see how important safety is for twitter's bottom line. https://www.wsj.com/...

  More big advertisers pause Twitter spend. https://www.wsj.com/... (this is all of much greater financial consequence than blue checks... could have been mitigated by having content moderation group in place when Elon took over... or at least by now).

  I'd really hate to see the @twitter I know fade away but firing the top execs, charging for verified badges, and planning on cutting the Twitter workforce in half doesn't sit well with me. Now, this. It may be bye bye Twitter if things start going south. https://twitter.com/...

  Advertisers pause on Twitter. Probably waiting for a determination from the Treasury as to whether or not the purchase will be investigated by CFIUS. https://twitter.com/...

  More antisemitism, more conspiracy theories, more trolling, more porn: what's for an advertiser not to love about the new Twitter? https://twitter.com/...

  It's only a debacle if he wants to make Twitter profitable. If he wants to permanently destabilize global democracy, it's an investment. The US federal government should seize the asset as a national and global security risk. https://twitter.com/...

  You mean corporate brands don't want to be associated with an ungainly weirdo and his shoddy business model? https://twitter.com/...

  . @pfizer doesn't need to pay for ads on here. @DrCaliff_FDA is doing it for them for free. https://twitter.com/...

  Unlike GM, you can't say this 👇was motivated by Tesla competition. Two large advertising companies recommended their clients temporarily pause paid advertising on Twitter, the latest example of Madison Avenue's caution after Elon Musk's takeover https://www.wsj.com/...

  This isn't good, but from some of the replies, you wouldn't think so. https://twitter.com/...

  Told ya. Nobody wants screenshots of their brands next to hate, racism, and antisemitism. — General Mills, Audi, Mondelez and Pfizer join a growing list of companies pausing Twitter advertising https://www.wsj.com/...
