Well he told advertisers to fuck off so they did.

To me as an average Joe it seems pretty dumb to tell your advertisers to fuck off when they provide a big chunk of your income but hey, I'm not a stable genius billionaire so I just don't get Elon's 5D chess moves. Right?

What's much more interesting to me is when Facebook and YouTube told advertiser's to fuck off? Because it's the exact same type of ads but people pretend they see Disney and coca cola ads on everything except twitter..
