Who Is Elon Musk Openly Threatening?

Elon Musk has threatened to "name and shame" advertisers who are pausing on Twitter as the takeover of the social media platform sows chaos.

Apparently, Musk's fans are thinking of boycotting these companies until they agree to put advertising dollars back into Twitter.

Most of Twitter's revenue comes from advertising.

In addition to it, he also tweeted “Extremely messed up! They’re trying to destroy free speech in America”

Big companies have stopped advertising on Twitter since Musk bought it for $44 billion a week ago.

After the Musk acquisition, hate speech increased on the platform and suspended users began demanding reinstatement quickly, which must have alarmed advertisers.
