wtf tesla... wtf elon

well some of the worst nightmares may be

coming true Elon Musk has sold three and

a half billion dollars of shares just at

the same time as potentially Twitter's

advertising revenue is down as much as

90 percent we're gonna go through some

reports in a moment but boy this doesn't

look good for Twitter and I hate to say

but what doesn't look good for Twitter

does not look good for Tesla at least

though when you look for a used car on

Tesla's website you can have faith in

knowing that there are almost no used

cars available for sale within 200 miles

of Los Angeles don't worry very few

model wise model threes don't worry

nothing to see here at all there aren't

26 rows of model threes apparently ready

for immediately immediate delivery

within 200 miles of well approximately

Los Angeles uh and don't worry when you

change the zip code to like Miami or

something like that it it doesn't oh

wait that that was Miami oh darn okay

well don't worry when you go back to

California uh well let's just say um

uh yeah gosh hardly any availability of

vehicles anyway so where were we oh yeah

that's right more pain for uh Tesla I

mean Twitter so the Wall Street Journal

released this piece here and they uh

they talk a little bit of background

about how people you know still use

Twitter because basically it's a

cesspool and uh eventually maybe

advertisers come back because you know

you can't quit the horror show is what

they say here and there was some drama

about Apple leaving and then maybe

coming back and there's some rumor about

maybe Amazon pausing some campaigns but

then you know still kind of being there

well um The Wall Street Journal is now

reporting the following that not only is

Twitter offering its ads at 50 off half

price this month only this month only

folks don't worry company's not going

bankrupt we are just offering ads half

off because we love you matching up to

one million dollars for advertisers who

book at least five hundred thousand

dollars in incremental spend in other

words hey spend 500 Grand we will match

you a dollar for dollar

at the same time as Facebook is seeing

ad rates go down 18

apparently the New York Times is

alleging that Twitter's roster of

advertisers has fallen 42 which matches

approximately what NPR reported about a

50 about a 50 decline in advertisers at

Twitter but no don't worry about

advertisers leaving Twitter at least

according to similar webs data points

the sub-domain of activity for Twitter's

ad platform site this would probably I'm

guessing Okay be something like

ads.twitter.com right and then that way

because it has a subdomain we can track

uh how many visits that website is

getting well don't worry everything is

just fine this right here in the little

blue lines on the left here indicates uh

all of the search volume allegedly

according to similar webs data and the

Wall Street Journal report here for

Twitter and as you can see there are

still some searches for advertising on

Twitter you can see here that we are

nicely above zero although we might be

down 74 percent in searches October to

October

and we might be down

85

November to November

and in the first few days of December we

might be even lower than that

in fact the traffic volume for search

Trends on Twitter might be so low

that the firm's similar web is not even

recommending the tracking software as

being at a threshold necessary to

actually track

trends at Twitter yeah this is um

this is not good this is this is not

good for Tesla I mean for Twitter yeah

okay so that's not good what could

potentially indicate uh other potential

issues that uh you know Elon Musk is

having when it comes to money at Twitter

well don't mind the auction that we

reported a few days ago where they're

selling brazing pans and espresso makers

at auction and computer desks and

computers after all they fired a bunch

of people right so hey why not try to

recoup a little bit money and don't mind

the bills that aren't being paid like uh

rent uh we could talk about that a

different time because right now we have

to acknowledge that oh that's right Elon

Musk is seeking new investors for

Twitter at 5420 a share the same price

he paid when he took the company private

for 44 billion dollars in October and

kicked off a contentious overhaul the

managing director of the billionaires

family office has been reaching out to

potential backers this week uh Ross

Gerber who runs GK and took part in the

early Twitter buyout confirmed the

Outreach in other words yeah they're

looking for people to invest in Twitter

the fundraising attempt follows a

tumultuous stretch into it why would you

invest in Twitter right now like

Twitter's probably at this point where

the advertising revenues are a five

dollar stock

and if Elon Musk hopes to you know

double Twitter or quadruple Twitter what

does it then become a twenty dollars I

you need advertisers and all I know is

Mike Lindell from my pillow has been

unbanned and maybe

just maybe there's hope that he's been

unbanned so that Elon could convince him

to be an Advertiser

I don't know

but right now it seems like we're we're

heading into that direction

um which is uh yeah anyway okay so

anyway the fundraising attempt follows a

tumultuous stretch at Twitter where musk

has slashed jobs upended long-standing

policies reinstated band accounts oh

yeah we just talked about that uh just

this week the company suspended several

journalists that musk had said put his

family in danger by revealing the

location of his private plane do keep in

mind that if you're going to change a

policy that you say you're not going to

change it'd be nice to give people a

heads up and when the Elon jet account

was banned because the policy was

changed the poor guy didn't even get a

chance

to stop sharing elon's jet location like

I think we all agree live tracking of

somebody else's personal location is

probably not a good idea I think I think

a lot of us can agree with that right

but if you're gonna change the rules at

least give someone like a warning or

like a heads up and so apparently

reporters

uh retweeted the posts of Elon Jet and

because they did they're like oh my gosh

look Elon jet was banned here's a post

from Elon saying he's not going to get

banned here's the account that was

banned it also potentially then included

a link to the tracking software that was

tracking Elon Musk Jet and then Twitter

and the Elon team went out and banned

everyone related to that

that posted this including New York

Times and Washington Post reporters

which is quite odd but another thing

that is quite odd is

when when you go to people's profiles on

Twitter and they're like hey follow me

on Mastodon or whatever the other

website is Twitter now puts like uh a a

safety label over that so basically any

links of people going from Twitter to

master I'm gonna get this website may

not be safe link I don't know but

apparently because they're not paying

rent on their Twitter office apparently

the bond holders that are tied to the

headquarters building are seeing their

bond values drop to about 85 cents on

the dollar from around 99 Cents before

the story broke that they were not

paying their rent so uh anyway

I guess if you're involved in Twitter or

Tesla good luck to you

I don't think next quarter is going to

be very kind

good luck and Godspeed
