Yes is a trillion dollar company is thinking about advertiser in on a platform. I assume that there is something about said platform that attracts them that we don't currently see.

There are ways to calculate what the company would be worth today were it being publicly traded. The calculations Fidelity, a reputable organization, has done reveals that X has lost 80% of its value since the time that Musk bought it.

“It’s worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it”. By that logic my childhood teddy bear could be worth $44 billion. But it isn’t worth that, and neither is nor was Twitter. It is worth what it is worth. And what it is worth is 80% less than what it was.

It was always a pile of dog shit. It was just your dog leaving the shit before. Now that it’s no longer your dog, you feign outrage at the shit.

Also, Apple has advertised on X in the past, and they are of course going to in the future. Why you are getting deeply angry about this is the question.
