LEAK: Elon Musk's X.com Revenue May have *JUST* Collapsed [Tesla Warning]
FULL TRANSCRIPT
oh no things are getting critical over
ATX formally known as Twitter that we we
just got access to some documents
internal sales documents apparently
about ads at X after uh the oopsy
dupsies that happened over the last
couple weeks with Elon oo it doesn't
look good and uh what's interesting is
while we're going to cover that data I
wanted to start with this because this
kind of made me think wait a minute what
what's going on so Ellie she's great she
covers basically all things uh Tesla and
uh you know SpaceX and otherwise uh it
you know she's been posting a ton of
videos here Starship launch from
November 18th 3.9 th000 likes 330,000
Impressions uh you've got uh you've got
multiple here's a uh you know spaces
recording here's some more launch videos
1.6 th000 likes 5.4 th000 likes uh you
know we I the point is we're getting a
lot of engagement on some of these
videos uh it's so we would have expected
that over the last 2 weeks she would
have received a lot more ad Revenue than
she ended up getting a lot of these
posts probably averaging 500 1.4k over
here 1.9k
1.2k nearly 1K uh so this this is good
engagement right this is very good like
she's doing fantastic uh good for her
and she covers this the space uh events
a lot and uh it was concerning when I
saw this this morning very strange
I feel like the Starship launch coverage
and other Impressions I've gotten lately
uh as a result of those uh her Twitter
or X Revenue should have amounted to
more she says much more in fact it seems
every time I try to look at my analytics
half of my information is inaccurate or
broken hoping we can get better data
when it comes through earning with X now
look it's obviously been only that
Twitter has even started sharing ad
Revenue with users but there's a real
question that is there a chance ad
Revenue could come to a complete
standstill on X uh because take a look
at this through all these posts she had
a $
3862 ad rev share so I kept you know I
was reading some of the other comments I
I left a you know a comment about hey
like is this maybe from the two weeks
prior to the launch like is there lag in
the data I'm not sure but it definitely
seems messed up uh Joanna krier she she
ended up posting and this made me think
the problem's deeper and then I just got
through the tape it's still on the tape
from just a couple minutes ago here uh
the uh the up press release that uh you
know what's going on with X revenues
here but uh look at what Elon replies
here now quickly remember it's Black
Friday which means we have a Black
Friday sale New Gold Course drops for
just 300 $75 with live streams included

to be part of it make sure to email us
we are getting flooded with emails I
just looked and I at least 100 emails
that just in the last few hours that I
we're still working through so if you
email us at staff ATM kevin.com give us
a second we're getting through it but uh
take a look for now at this Elon replied
to Joanna's response here which is a
problem uh and again to be clear that
email though for the courses with staff
meetkevin.com
go to meetkevin.com to actually see all
the pricing of that but anyway Joanna
says seeing some folks mad over low rev
share remember this is a gift from X
Elon didn't have to do this be grateful
sorry if I seem harsh I'm not trying to
be I'm just being honest it's true I
mean again remember back in the day x
never used to monetize but one of the
big things about Elon taking over was
that he wanted to you be able to compete
with platforms like YouTube and would be
able to do so by offering creators
Revenue to incentivize more X exclusive
content production but you know now you
look at somebody like Ellie who you know
worked her ass off for two weeks and got
paid $38 that's that's weird so I
thought okay maybe it's a glitch you
know maybe it's the prior two weeks but
listen to elon's reply not much we can
do if advertisers boycott or reduce
spend on our
platform uh yikes that's not good at all
here so you can see the whole thing I
remember myself that's not good this was
just tweeted so
now you go
to and I understand pretty much
everybody on X and I guess I shouldn't
paint with that broad of a brush but
let's just be clear most people I
rephrase that a second time a lot of
people seem to dislike the New York
Times okay a lot of people I actually
don't think they're that bad uh you know
i' I've kind of grown up with times and
I think some of the information they
have is is very good is there going to
be a Leti is tilt of course that doesn't
mean some of the information is is is
bad although there has been bad
information don't get me wrong okay I'm
not here to defend the times but I still
read them uh and I'm a subscriber just
like I subscribe to you know right
leaning Publications so anyway look at
this internal documents leaked to the
New York Times and this makes sense by
the way that a left leaning organization
is going to get the leaks right like if
you work at Twitter and you're still
like super on the left or even just
slightly on the left and you're going to
going to leak some internal data are you
going to send it to Fox so they can bag
on musk or you going to send it to the
times who be more likely to bag on musk
right so again it makes sense that the
times has his data listen this internal
documents show companies like Airbnb
Coca-Cola and Microsoft have halted ads
or at risk of doing so after musk's
endorsement of an anti-semetic
conspiracy theory look I'm not going to
relitigate this I've done this a many
times let's just be clear Elon has
walked that back and defended that he
he's not he never meant to be anti-jew I
also don't think he's anti-jew I
legitimately don't think he hates any
class of people uh I do think he made a
big oopsy doopsy though with his post
like when I first read the post I'm like
bro you're adding fuel to the hate fire
you could have gone and responded to the
positive comment but you chose to
respond to the hate filled comment and
amplify it and support it anyway
uh X the social media company formerly
known as Twitter could lose as much as
$75 million in advertising Revenue in
just two months actually only about 7
weeks uh because this is by the end of
the year following dozens of Major
Brands pausing their marketing after its
owner Elon Musk endorsed an anti-semitic
conspiracy theory uh you know earlier
this month $75 million okay this is this
is a big oopsy doopsy so first of all
they used to Twitter back when it was
Twitter used to make about $1.6 billion
in ad Revenue which was about
$133
million in ad Revenue per month so back
then over a 7-week period when Twitter
was public Twitter would have earned
about $230 million in ad Revenue $230
million in ad Revenue losing 75 million
out of 230 would be a loss of about
32% but we don't actually think ad
revenue is back up to the levels where
it was
back when Twitter was Twitter now we
think ad revenues are down at least
somewhere around 40% so if I take 40%
off of
230 then that means about half and I
think that's a roughly accurate estimate
about half of elon's AD Revenue may have
just gone up in smoke because of the
anti-semitic
controversy uh not only have IBM apple
and Disney but now companies like Airbnb
Coca-Cola Microsoft Netflix is in there
all these companies are suggesting they
might scale back spend now there has
been a trend on Twitter of people like
Tim pool suggesting he'll buy $250,000 a
month of ads Andrew Tate Sals he'll buy
a million dollars worth of ads honestly
I don't think either of them will and
I'm not trying to bag on either of them
for for example I I did a great podcast
with Tim P I think he's a great guy he's
he's very
intelligent but I don't think either of
them actually will I think it's a
popular thing to say I don't think
they'll actually do again that's no
that's not bagging them I just I just
don't think they will uh so you know
it's easy to say you're going to boycott
products from all these companies
cutting ads but I mean you're going to
boycott products from a lot of different
companies not just Airbnb Coke but Jack
in the Box Netflix Apple uh Uber you
know Airbnb this is a these are a lot of
different companies
Microsoft various subsidiaries of
Microsoft have stopped advertising uh
Amazon's units for Books and Music uh
has stopped advertising as have some of
the subsidiaries of Google NBC
Universal Meet the Press uh well then we
have a you know Chris chrisy over there
uh slamming all the hate that's just
going on around the world that's fine uh
Elon Musk then noted the company would
donate all revenue from advertising and
subscriptions associated with the war to
uh the Red Cross and other relief
agencies in Gaza maybe a lot of
engagement on Twitter has been related
to Gaza and so maybe a lot of it is
being donated but the potential loss of
of per my quick calculations here of
maybe
half of their revenue because of of uh
elon's uh tweeting is is not good uh you
know people get mad at me and they say
oh so you still think uh Elon should uh
should step down I I I think either you
know he shouldn't be the face of PR if
he's going to have these opinions or or
like have the opinions but maybe maybe
as the face of a of of two business is
businesses where where you know hundreds
of thousands well maybe not hundreds of
thousands you got maybe like 110,000
employees at Tesla and then another you
know certain amount of thousand X
thousand couple thousand or whatever
employees at Twitter all these people
rely on on you for their livelihood if
you're saying things that's pissing off
the world uh does that potentially put
their jobs at risk does it potentially
mean elon's going to have to sell more
Tesla stock to finance losses at X so uh
unfortunately there's some degree of
probable you know self-limiting in terms
of the engagement with hateful posts
that someone would make that someone
should really consider doing now I know
people hear that and they say oh you
know that's
self-censoring well like look at the the
CEOs of basically any major company are
they out engaging on political opinion
uh you know with very very hateful
topics where you know you're going to
piss off at least half of people no they
don't it's just not what CEOs do because
they don't want to destroy their
business so I don't know if this is just
like a like a you know uh well you know
I should be able to speak my mind freely
and it shouldn't affect my sales you're
right it shouldn't but it will
so it's kind of like you know let's say
you have a job making
$100,000 uh a year standing in the
middle of of of a traffic Street uh or
or like a street corner or whatever you
need to direct traffic okay there's
you're not allowed to have street lights
there you direct the traffic and you
have a job $100,000 a year but you have
to come dressed up in your uniform every
single day and you're not allowed to
have tattoos and then one day you show
up with a tattoo and you're fired for
expressing your yourself with a tattoo
is that fair no cuz you're expressing
yourself but does that make any
difference to the fact that now you lost
the job no you see what I'm saying like
still going to lose the job so what was
the point if you if if that statement
was worth $100,000 to you fantastic
hopefully it's something
good because you were willing to take
that loss but here I think there's a lot
of heads scratching going on and it
seems to be getting worse so I'm
definitely paying attention to this as a
Tesla shareholder why not advertise
these things that you told us here I
feel like nobody else knows about this
we we'll try a little advertising and
see go congratulations man you have done
