A request for comment form Twitter did not immediately receive a reply.
Nearly 90% of Twitter's income comes from the sale of digital adverts, and Musk recently blamed a "huge loss in revenue" on rights groups who persuaded companies to suspend their Twitter advertising.
By 2023, Twitter will provide a higher tier with no adverts, according to a statement made by Musk earlier in December. Twitter's Basic blue tick would have half as many ads, according to Musk.
Revenue drop after Musk takeover
According to estimates provided for Reuters by research firm Pathmatics, top Twitter advertisers cut their spending following Elon Musk's acquisition, the latest jolt to the company's primary revenue stream.
According to Pathmatics estimates, 14 of the top 30 Twitter advertisers suspended all advertising on the service when Musk assumed leadership on October 27. From the week before Musk's acquisition to the end of the year, four advertisers cut their expenditure by between 92% and 98.7%.
Despite an increase in expenditure by six of the top 30, overall advertising spending by the top 30 businesses plummeted by 42% to an estimated $53.8 million for November and December combined, according to Pathmatics.
However, the corporation said that those estimations did not take into consideration any potential Twitter transactions or promoted trends and accounts. If Twitter is providing incentives, "it is feasible the spending statistics may be greater for some businesses," Pathmatics wrote in an email.
On a total revenue of around $1.18 billion for the three months that ended June 30, Twitter reported a loss of $270 million.
In Washington, Elon Musk has claimed that he averted a significant threat to Russia by denying Ukraine permission to utilize satellites.
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and the founder of the social media platform X (Twitter), conveyed through a statement on X that he had shut down the Starlane network near the Russian port to prevent Ukraine from potentially launching an attack on Russia using satellite technology.
Elon Musk went on to explain that there were no viable alternatives other than declining Ukraine’s request to utilize the Starlink satellite system, as doing otherwise would have escalated the situation to a major act of warfare. However, he did not specify the exact timing of Ukraine’s request. This incident occurred in 2022 when Ukraine launched an attack on Russian coastal areas with the assistance of submarine drones.
