Elon Musk met publicly with advertisers on Wednesday, and experts say it pointed to issues at Twitter. Multiple social media experts told Insider the meeting showed flaws in his leadership at Twitter. Eight social media experts told Insider the meeting did little to assuage advertisers' concerns for the company and instead served to highlight flaws in Musk's leadership thus far at Twitter. "He really kind of blew it," social media expert Matt Navarra told Insider. "Even though Elon has never run a social media platform before, he has run three extremely successful companies in three completely different industries."

Advocacy groups sent a letter to Twitter advertisers, urging them to push Musk to embrace content moderation or suspend ads. General Mills, GM, Audi, and other brands have suspended ads on the platform since Musk's takeover. "Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue," Musk tweeted Friday, citing the pressure on advertisers. "Without deliberate efforts by Twitter to address this type of abuse and hate, your brands will be actively supporting accelerating extremism." "If they don't leave now, advertising on Twitter will be akin to advertising on Parler before the January 6 insurrection," Carusone added.

The groups said on Friday they are escalating their pressure and demanding brands pull their Twitter ads globally. Staff who worked in engineering, communications, product, content curation and machine learning ethics were among those impacted by the layoffs, according to tweets from Twitter staff. Shannon Raj Singh, an attorney who was Twitter's acting head of human rights, tweeted on Friday that the entire human rights team at the company had been cut. Musk tweeted that his team had made no changes to content moderation and done "everything we could" to appease the groups. Employees of Twitter Blue, the premium subscription service that Musk is bolstering, were also let go.

“I think advertisers are bracing to leave,” said Claire Atkin, co-founder of the adtech watchdog Check My Ads. Most marketers bristle at the thought of having their ads run alongside toxic content such as hate speech, pornography or misinformation. Also on Monday, Angelo Carusone, CEO of media watchdog Media Matters for America, tweeted calling on major Twitter advertisers “to be putting pressure on Twitter right now” to better address the increase in hate and other toxic content. “I think advertisers are going to look at this and say, is the weak Twitter advertising product becoming a better or worse investment? After GM announced its Twitter advertising pause, some users on the platform, including some right-leaning political figures, have called for a boycott of the automaker.

Elon Musk completed his long-awaited Twitter acquisition on Thursday, immediately firing executives. Critics fear the Tesla CEO, a self-styled free speech absolutist, will usher in more hate speech. Media Matters president Angelo Carusone said Musk will use Twitter "to advance his own red-pilled ideological agenda." "Simply put: Twitter is now on a glide path to becoming a supercharged engine of radicalization," Carusone of Media Matters' statement added. "Under Musk's leadership, Twitter will become a fever swamp of dangerous conspiracy theories, partisan chicanery, and operationalized harassment."
