Elon Musk, the world's richest person, said Twitter lost around half of its advertising revenue since he took over the social media giant.

"We're still negative cash flow, due to ~50% drop in advertising revenue plus heavy debt load," Musk explained in a post responding to one of the app's users who suggested a new financing plan for the social media platform.

"Need to reach positive cash flow before we have the luxury of anything else," he said without further elaboration.

Insider Intelligence, a market research company, reported that Twitter is expected to make less than $3 billion in 2023, down around one-third year on year since 2022.
