SpaceX IPO Filing Reveals Twitter Ad Revenue Crater Under Musk

Techdirt notes SpaceX’s 10-Q shows X’s ad revenue collapsed after Musk’s Twitter takeover: ad revenue dropped from about $1.08B in Q2 2022 to $367M in Q2 2026, with 2025 ad revenue around $870M and first-half 2026 around $710M, effectively wiping out roughly two-thirds of the pre-takeover ad business. The company attributes the dip to a transition to a new ad platform, while critics say the overhaul hurts revenue and highlights the gap between Musk’s promises (e.g., $12B in ad revenue by 2027) and reality. Overall, the piece argues that Musk’s track record on delivering revenue growth remains questionable.

Analyst Sees Netflix Doubling Stock on Advertising Upside

Netflix has fallen about 44–45% over the last year and trades around $67.60, but a bull case from BMO puts a $135 target on the shares, implying roughly 100% upside if its ad revenue grows toward $3 billion by 2026 and the company continues its robust buybacks. The analysis highlights ads-driven growth as the key catalyst, while noting the stock still trades in line with the broader market’s multiple, with a consensus target near $97.91 and no sell ratings among the 50 covering analysts. The takeaway: the pullback may be an overreaction if Netflix’s ad and free cash flow trajectory materializes.”,
