Elon Musk-owned social media company X could lose as much as $75 million in advertising revenue by the end of the year as dozens of major brands pause their marketing campaigns, the New York Times reported on Friday.

There simply aren’t enough hours in the day to outwork the hundreds or thousands of employees that are actually making the company most of its money.
