Condemning the efforts to strip Twitter of ad revenue as an attack on free speech, Musk agreed with a political commentator who argued that attempts to appease the left were an exercise in futility. “Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease the activists,” said Musk. “Extremely messed up! They’re trying to destroy free speech in America.”
