    Remember the 50% number is just what he was comfortable with publishing to the public

    We have no reason to believe his public statistics

      100% of the ads I see on Twitter today are dropshipping scams, while in the pre-musk era they were highly targeted to my job and interests to the point that if there wasn’t the “ad” tag I couldn’t distinguish that.

      They can’t cost the same for the advertiser, a generic dropshipping scam that targets everyone must be cheap

          plus, twitter could track the impressions and conversion rates, so they could charge even more for that, too.

      Why would he tweet about his losses in the first place? I applaud his openness (/s) but I doubt any investors or advertisers will come running to a dying social networking.

        I think it’s either better than 50, or he expects it to be better shortly so when he says it’s 40, he can celebrate how good he did for the +10.

        If your losses are at 80% and you tell everyone they’re at 50% you can try to spin the story in your favor.
