Anyone who falls for this deserves what they get.
Ok I’m sorry but this is hilarious. Does Elon really think $250 is going to convince literally any customer that would move the needle at all on their revenue numbers is going to do anything in response to this offer except laugh?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
X, the company formerly known as Twitter, has a new initiative aimed at luring smaller businesses to advertise on its platform.
In its post, X touted that more than eight in ten active X customers were small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) — the segment of the market where X is directing its new promotion.
In a related FAQ, X says the ad credits will expire on Dec. 31 of the year they were issued and may be subject to a minimum spend.
The announcement follows an interview that X CEO Linda Yaccarino recently did with CNBC where she broadly discussed X’s future plans.
Surprisingly, Yaccarino claimed only a month later that X was “pretty close to breaking even,” crediting X’s API, data licensing and subscription businesses as aiding with that, alongside advertising as helping reach that goal.
While ad credits are a common business practice, it’s clear that in X’s case, it’s more in need of a promotion to give brands a little push.

it would offer a one-time ad credit of $250 to select businesses when they spend $1,000 or more on new ad campaigns over the next 30 days.
I don’t think this is going to work. Maybe if it were just a $250 credit, you could get people to come back and hope they see that they got return. But if people are already spending $0 then I don’t see many breaking their decision to leave just cause there is a deal
