In the recent BBC interview, Elon Musk said the advertisers were back. The truth: Research from Sensor Tower shows the advertising revenue from the top advertisers is down 89 percent.Not 8.9 percent — Eighty-nine percent!https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2023-04-12/elon-musk-s-twitter-troll-heaven-is-hell-for-advertisers#xj4y7vzkg?leadSource=uverify%20wall

why would you believe this company Sensor Tower when their statements directly contradict what musk the ceo said? i should think, if anythting, it would discredit their research

@fluffy because the research matches statements from several companies saying they have not returned. This clearly contradicts Musk's statement.

@randahl @fluffy and several of the advertisers that returned did it so under a huge discount, or even for free.. https://www.wsj.com/articles/twitter-offers-free-ads-to-brands-that-advertise-on-its-platform-11673654556

a brief inspection of these news articles and the sensor tower page suggests that they are not exactly serious

@fluffy @randahl yeah, Bloomberg and the WSJ aren't serious at all, the serious one is the dude who answers all press inquiries with the poop emoji. Sure.

if you think the same guys who told the american public that there are wmd in iraq, as well as numerous other known fraudulent press statements, are now suddenly honest because you don't like musk then you have no business speaking about seriousness let alone challenging my judgement of it
