Tech billionaire Elon Musk has complained about the things of his online platform X. “Our user growth is stagnating, the turnover is not impressive and we can hardly live around,” said an e-mail to the employees.
Musk describes the Wall Street Journal’s report as Vals: “I did not send such an e-mail. The Wsj is lying, “he said. At the time, the technology blog ‘The Verge’ also confirmed the quote with its own source. Musk repeatedly accuses the media of spreading lies and performing propaganda.
X is based on the short message service Twitter, who bought Musk in October 2022 for around 44 billion dollars (converted 42.02 billion euros). Because the company has since been removed from the fair, there is no publicly available information about how the company is doing.
Purchase of customers scared off
What is known is that the turnover collapsed after the acquisition. The purchase by the polarizing billionaire alone shocked some advertisers. In addition, researchers have shown how their advertisements can appear in addition to messages that contain hate -sowing statements. Musk had largely lifted Twitter’s content restrictions for messages.
The head of the Facebook group Meta, Mark Zuckerberg, recently announced that he would reduce the content restrictions for messages. This could mean that advertisers with similar problems can be confronted with X.
