Few months ago he said ad revenue dropped 50%.

Then a month ago or so he said all advertisers returned in full.

Now he's saying, today, that again ad revenue dropped 50%.

The guy is a pathological liar, you can't understand at all what's happening from his words. It's like listening to Putin's takes on reality. One day Wagner is just a myth, then he paid billions to them, then a week later they're a myth again.

This is why I watch what he does and what's happening to Twitter. And this is still one airplane nosediving directly to the ground as we speak.

Funnily I was just poring over his tweet with usage stats (https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1679992267111809024), and I find it very suspicious that some numbers are exactly the same (with 4 significant digits!)

US Mobile Latest = US Mobile 7d Avg

Japan Mobile Latest = Japan Mobile 7d Avg

There are also very close numbers:

UK Total Latest 15.36B

UK Total 7d Avg 15.37B

EU Total Latest 63.67B

EU Total 7d Avg 63.66B

Seems like an incredible coincidence if these numbers are legit.

I would happily bet that there is some 'keep Elon happy' code running on Twitter servers at the moment with the express goal of showing him the figures that he wants to see.
