    It’s paywalled and I’m a little confused by the apparent disparity between the title and the claim that most of the advertisers have since returned?

    Which is it?

      The claim in the headline is based on one agency seeing only 2 of its 28 clients using X.

      The X statement says that about 90% of its biggest spenders from last year are advertising again.

      These could both be true. My opinion is that the first doesn’t mean much and the second is damn lies.

      I am sure you can trust everything out of X. Just like you can trust Musk. If I remember correctly he claimed it was the Jews 😱 who were to blame for the decline in X advertisements. I guess he correctly identified the problem and fixed it. /S 😆

        Yeah, I have no trust in Musk or X. I’m just trying to understand the actual circumstances. Just because I want X to fail and Musk to go bankrupt, doesn’t mean I should uncritically examine headlines that conform to my hopes and expectations.

        Edit: So the full story is the major advertising conglomerate is all but calling X and Musk liars. Delicious.
