Elon Transition
MUSK HAS BEEN ON A DETRIMENTAL TRANSITION
www.axios.com/2022/10/30/elon-musk-paul-pelosi-tweet-rumor
It's been just two days since Elon Musk officially bought Twitter. Already, the billionaire businessman is using the platform to spread misinformation to his 112 million followers — about the biggest U.S. news of the weekend.
Driving the news: Early on Sunday, Musk cited a widely-discredited website that implied the brutal attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul, wasn't carried out by an unhinged far-right blogger — but rather was linked to an anti-LGTBQ "theory" about a skirmish at a local bar.

This exchange between @HillaryClinton and @elonmusk should kill any remaining confidence advertisers had in the platform.

Business expert warns of Elon Musk's ties to China: He dug a 'hole full of vipers and grenades and jumped in'

Elon Musk is now tweeting attacks on the media, but he still won't apologize for or acknowledge the misinformation that he spread earlier and then deleted.

Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease the activists.
Extremely messed up! They’re trying to destroy free speech in America.
THIS PROBLEM IS COINCIDENT WITH, AND AND A CONSEQUENCE OF YOUR "LEADERSHIP"

Elon Musk has spent the past 12 years tweeting whatever comes into his mind, often without major negative consequences. That was before he owned the place. Now, less than two weeks after his $44 billion purchase, the world’s richest man is finding that his actions—which recently included tweeting a baseless conspiracy theory to Hillary Clinton about the assault on Paul Pelosi—may actually have consequences. Advertisers are fleeing, the employees remaining after a round of mass layoffs are alienated, and onlookers are completely vexed by a freewheeling approach that has coincided with a rise in hate speech on the platform, among other problems.
