Government agencies to blame says Elon Musk

Elon Musk and the actions against the network
Recently, Twitter carried out one of the most controversial main actions, withdrawing user verification to activate it in paid mode
With this action, Twitter Blue was unified for the entire community with payment to the company, either monthly or annually.
This decision brought endless criticism from some accounts, mainly from the media, who doubted that with this action, Twitter would become a safe place.
Their behavior on social media drives advertisers away from Twitter
Since the arrival of Elon Musk on Twitter, the blows against the social network have increased and one of the hardest has been the departure of advertisers, the main source of income it has.
One of the biggest fears of advertisers is the resurgence of hate speech on the platform under the argument of freedom of expression.
To counteract this, the company launched a new product that will allow marketers to block their ads from appearing alongside tweets with certain words or images.
The other great fear to spend on this platform is Musk’s behavior on the social network, according to the advertisers themselves.
Added to the company’s corporate failures are the economic pressures registered around the world, reducing its expenses and the most affected part is advertising.
