Twitter Suffers $270 Million Loss, Is It Because of Elon Musk? – Coinpedia – Fintech & Cryptocurreny News Media

Twitter revealed on Friday that it suffered a $270 million net loss in the second quarter (Q2), partly as a result of uncertainties around Elon Musk’s potential takeover of Twitter, which had a negative impact on its advertising business. According to Twitter’s Q2 earnings report, its Q2 revenue was $1.18 billion, a 1% year-over-year decline.

Ad income for Twitter came to $1.08 billion, while subscription and other revenue came to $101 million. Average monetizable daily active usage (mDAU) for Q2 increased by 16.6% from Q2 of the previous year to 237.8 million. According to Twitter, the surge was caused by continual product updates and a global discussion about current events.

The price of a share of Twitter is currently $39.52. In the last six months, there has been an increase of almost 12%. Over the past year, it has traded 43 percent less expensively per share. According to the study, compared to its earnings a year earlier, its share price has decreased by 35 cents per share.

It should be mentioned that the number of daily active users on the dominant social media platform has increased to 237.8 million from 229 million in the first quarter. As per the article, Twitter has already withdrawn its goals and outlooks and will no longer offer prognostication.

Is This the Elon Musk Effect?

Due to the existence of bots on the network, Musk canceled the $44 billion Twitter deal. Twitter sued him for the cancellation, and the trial has been scheduled for October in a US court.
