“It’s a terrible company,” O’Leary said. “I use the platform, too, and I look at the metrics versus all the other [social media companies], including Tiktok and LinkedIn and Instagram and Facebook. It’s the worst in terms of getting your message out.”
In its fourth quarter last year, Twitter had an average of 217 million daily users, according to Twitter’s 2021 annual report. Meanwhile, Meta’s platforms collectively had an average of 1.93 billion users in December 2021.
″[Tesla] is the only car company on Earth that pays nothing on advertising,” O’Leary said. “He [advertised] it on the back of Twitter and other social media platforms. Very few people get to own their own unregulated network.”
