The world’s biggest cosmetics maker, L’oreal, confirmed that it will not stop advertising spending on Twitter even after Elon Musk’s takeover.
“L’Oréal did not make any decision to suspend advertising spending on Twitter,” a company spokesperson told Reuters in an email.
Earlier, Elon Musk tweeted that his Twitter cannot become a free space for every content and every opinion. This made many brands quietly quit the platform.
“Twitter obviously cannot become a free-for-all hellscape where anything can be said with no consequences!” He said.
However, Musk expressed in an open letter that was sent to advertisers around the globe last week that he wanted Twitter to be the most respected advertising platform in the world.
With so many transitions happening around Twitter, Elon Musk has been trying to reassure companies to bear with them throughout the transformation journey.
“Bear with us as we move through this transition,” Twitter reassures advertisers with an email sent to the media.
Ad sales depicted over 90% of Twitter’s revenue in the second quarter. At a manifestation for advertisers in May, some ad agencies and brands were already uncertain about Twitter’s future.
Last week, top U.S. automaker General Motors Co said it had temporarily discontinued paid advertising on Twitter after Elon Musk finished off his takeover of the social media company.
