https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/01/x-ceo-signals-ad-boycott-is-over-external-data-paints-a-different-picture/

When X CEO Linda Yaccarino took the stage as a keynote speaker at CES 2025, she revealed that "90 percent of the advertisers" who boycotted X over brand safety concerns since Elon Musk's 2022 Twitter acquisition "are back on X."

Yaccarino did not go into any further detail to back up the data point, and X did not immediately respond to Ars' request to comment.

According to Sensor Tower, "69 out of the top 100 spending US advertisers" on Twitter/X in October 2022 had "ceased spending on the platform" as of December 2024. This could reflect a modest influx of advertisers who previously stopped spending, as the total is slightly lower than the September 2024 data showing 72 had ceased spending.

But Sensor Tower suggested that its data instead indicates that perhaps rather than wooing back advertisers, X "has cultivated a base of new advertisers." The firm found that "52 of the current top 100 spending US advertisers" on X in December 2024 were not advertising on pre-acquisition Twitter. For example, Temu—which launched just before Musk's acquisition in September 2022—was X's top advertiser in 2024, Sensor Tower found, "accounting for 3 percent of total US ad spend on the network."

Bots buy things?

Great listen on the Prof G pod about larger geopolitical issues

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/top-geopolitical-risks-of-2025-with-ian-bremmer/id1498802610?i=1000683290841

 

Bremmer had an interesting insight into Musk and others of his ilk. I'm paraphrasing:

Quote

Musk is a winner, not a leader. A leader is someone in an organization that unifies and leads, they bring everyone together. If you're a winner, you divide. In everything there are winners and losers. And the winners get to make the rules and the losers have to suck it up and live with their rules

It really makes you wonder how he runs places and how his organizations function - if they run like this - where orgs have to fight to get what they need and if they lose they get shit or the like.

Given recent performances of his companies (actual performance, not the disconnected stock crap), this very much could make sense.

I don’t think Elon meant to nail it the way he did, but this is spot on. He found something good in himself, just deleted EVERYTHING, and like a computer you might run rm -rf on the system is “running” but everything is broken. It doesn’t run correctly.

I mean a normal person finds a virus on their system they either delete just the virus or they use software to remove it. Be surgical/smart. Not delete everything.

So, I think musk was dead on here.

I'm pretty sure that past the money the other primary basis of the Trump-Musk relationship is that Trump is getting older, maybe a bit sleepy at times and needs somebody else with a lot of attention on them to tweet and say wild-ass shit that keeps everybody distracted and arguing.

Elon's idea of forests are the green pixels on a game map. There is no need for or meaning in old Köppen gibberish like Csb or Cfa.

Yeah, about that ... Elon Musk? A fraud? Who could have seen that coming?

More lying from Musk. This time claiming he’s one of the top 10 Diablo players in the world. This videos rips apart this assertion.  I've never played any game like this one, so I don't know shit about it, but the way these guys describe it and expose his fraud is hilarious. Elon making crazy claims about his gamer status is sooooo on-brand. Why is Elmo such a pathological liar?

A friend once told me something about Bobby Epstein at COTA that I believe applies to Elmo: 'He's a narcissist. He lies to get his way. He lies to get attention or to manipulate people. He lies when he doesn't need to lie. He even lies when he'd be better served by telling the truth. It's crazy'.

Warning: NERDS! (but really awesome nerds)

What. A. Dipshit. Also lulz at being protected from Chicago toughs toting Tommy guns. Also lots and lots of handgun cartridges are supersonic, including 115 grain 9mm. Probably the most common handgun cartridge out there.

Well yeah. You probably did this stuff. But in this case the security is dudes with rifles and such and more importantly eyes and ears, spread around to pick up threats. When a unit gets wiped TF out, it's almost always from skimping on this step.

Crew-served weapons being the big crankers where you want some sort of fire plan, figure out dead zones and how to make them uncomfortable.

The commo part shows when I learned it in the 90s where "setting up commo" involved voodoo chants at a PRC 77. I bolted to become an Austin Hippy before I got to play with anything newer but I imagine you'd seldom have it not turned on and ready.

All this would be happening simultaneously about 12 seconds after you have security set up.

But Elon doesn't know that. And so we mock him.

Canadians thought I was Canadian. One Mexican taxi driver thought I was Russian.

Lots of projection.  He’s scared of the world at large because he spends so much time on the internet listening to other lonely men who are scared of the world, so he assumes that the world is dangerous and that other people should also be scared.
