Not Just Apple, But Others Stop Too
Earlier in November, Musk stated that Twitter had witnessed a “massive” loss in revenue and blamed activist groups for pressuring advertisers.
Since Musk finalized his Twitter purchase, a number of corporations, including General Mills Inc. and the premium automaker Audi, have delayed their advertising on Twitter. Additionally, General Motors Co. announced that it too had temporarily paused all paid advertising activities on the social media network.

Pathmatics, which is an advertising measurement company, reported that between November 10 and November 16, Apple spent an estimated $131,600 on Twitter advertisements.
This is a decrease from the $220,800 that the company spent between October 16 and October 22, the week before Musk closed the deal to acquire Twitter.
Twitter Implementing New Strategies
Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter has ushered in a new era for the social media site. Days after completing the $44 billion buyout of the microblogging site, Elon Musk revealed that the blue-tick verification on Twitter will cost users $8 per month, as he looks to create an income stream.
The monthly price of $8 entitles users to publish extended audio and video content, bypass paywalls, and receive precedence in search results, mentions, and responses. Additionally, users will get access to priority replies and other exclusive content.
Twitter is also likely going to make use of the Signal protocol to implement Elon Musk’s plans to provide encrypted messaging on the social media site.
