The ongoing Elon Twitter saga: "insert demographic" melts down

I saw a just stop oil activist this week and didn't buy petrol that day so must have been stop oil activists "educating" me and no other factors then.
DM but still lol:
Twitter is now asking DOZENS of newly laid off staff to COME BACK
After laying off roughly 50% of Twitter's work force, the bird company is now reportedly reaching out to dozens of employees to come back to work.

Who said there were no other factors?
The amount of denial here is pretty ridiculous, the CEO commenting on Twitter is well known for driving advertisers away from Fox, for example, some people trying to act like this campaign had no impact are being rather silly.

Was posted earlier... and according to one poster asking "dozens" to come back out of "thousands" somehow makes the claim that lost ad revenue is more of an issue than terminating staff seem "silly".

My wife works in digital marketing and Ad spend is down across the board even for companies that don't have a CEO retweeting CTs and halving staff. I don't think whatever lobbying they did would have had a big impact here
I'm referring to the lobbying before that conference and the result, that the Elon factor may have dissuaded some doesn't negate that the lobbying quite clearly had an impact there.
This isn't just ad spending being down though... this is "basically sold almost nothing". Obviously, the CEO of the activist group is happy to brag about it (but he would, wouldn't he I guess), and it's pretty clear that it's rustled Elon's jimmies too.
It's quite bizarre why some are so keen to actively try and deny this, it was mentioned earlier though, apparently, this is viewed as giving an "excuse" to Elon because some blame or "fault" is perceived as being assigned to a third party and of course, the rabid anti-Elon types don't like that... everything must be 100% Elon.

Where's the evidence of impact, obviously the activists will play it up.
This article I found
So he admits here they often don't listen to him. So there must be something larger going on than just activists getting involved
So my take from this is that when he contacted the companies they were already looking to pause or had already done so. It just seems so obvious that this would happen.
Are you going to continue posting that you're upset about it until they post they agree totally.
Whatever attempts have been made to lobby the advertisers aren't crediting such things for their actions. They are instead very clearly stating they are unhappy with brand risk. If it took lobbyists to inform them of that then I'd be amazed.
A what now?
An escape goat. It comes from 16th Century France when a specially trained goat was kept for Prince Louis (later King Louis XIV) so that he could make a rapid escape in the event of rebels reaching the palace. A goat was chosen because of their superior cliff climbing ability in the mistaken belief that peasants were too stupid to look up.
Surprised you don't know this, tbh.

Explain why twitter users are incapable of evaluating legitimacy of people whose content they look at, is there no option to ignore/spoiler content of anyone I haven't blessed.
Seems like the implosion is now self-perpetuating, with the firing of moderators aren't quality standards dropping further ... black hole status soon.

"Escape goat is an "eggcorn," a word or phrase that is a mishearing of another word or expression. Scapegoat is one word and has a specific meaning related to its Biblical origins. Escape goat seems to refer to a farm animal that's good at sneaking out of its pen, not someone who is blamed for the mistakes of others. "
