Both, in so far as one of the things he did was lay off content moderation and that this led to brands seeing their names and adverts associated with content that harmed those brands.

Compare Twitter to Tesla stock price to separate the effect of man himself from the layoffs: his personal gaffes have short-lived impacts on the price, but Tesla's stock price still went up.
