He bought the users. Elon knows that people are lazy and will not change websites.

-50% ad revenue says otherwise

Twitter could have 200% more users, if no one want to show them ads, then ad spots will be dirt cheap. Printing 5 millions of 1cent ads vs 1 million of 10cents ads is not the same. Both on income and expenses...

To be fair I don't think that can be entirely prescribed to drop in user base; the internet ad market in general is absolutely tanking at the moment.

Most people I know that use Twitter did leave it because they can no longer use the platform. They used it to promote their work and get new clients, which through a series of changes is basically impossible now.
