> “It’s definitely been extremely difficult,” Musk said in Twitter Spaces livestream event Musk hosted with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr last month. “Basically, our revenue is cut in half because we didn’t toe the line.” He added it’s been a “huge struggle for Twitter to break even.”

Toe what line?

He's basically announcing to us all he intends to keep repeating his mistakes and keep expecting different results.

Eventually the creditors and investors will step in and wrestle control out of his hands.

It’s an imaginary line.
> Among the creators who now get monetized off Twitter: Andrew Tate, the self-proclaimed “misogynist” online influencer, who was indicted in Romania on charges of human trafficking, rape and setting up a criminal gang.

Sponsoring human traffickers will unsurprisingly make advertisers run for the hills.
