Reply to comment by PM_ME_KITTYNIPPLES in Twitter is running ads next to tweets from Holocaust deniers by CoupleClothing

Which is why Twitter pre Musk was beginning to more aggressively ban ToS breakers who posted that stuff. It's just bad for advertisers.

Musk not only isn't banning them but actively let them back on.

And apparently he's also paying them some of the money made from the ads next to their tweets:

> Media Matters reviewed five Twitter accounts belonging to neo-Nazis, antisemites, and Holocaust deniers and found that ads for prominent companies were being slotted next to tweets from the accounts...

> All five of the accounts are subscribed to Twitter Blue, the subscription service that’s become one of Elon Musk’s main priorities since taking over the company. Earlier this month, Musk tweeted that Blue subscribers would get a cut of the revenue for ads placed beneath their tweets.
