The claim is a major departure for the service, which has long been known as a destination for posting short snippets of text.

I never, ever see any actual ads anymore. It's either some dude with an Indian dude smiling saying "Hello!" or the same exact ass picture from "Hailey201238712985723" or "Jonah9018328412873" advertising the same porn site. No advertiser worth their salt would ever advertise on Elon's Twitter.

I'm getting adverts for prostate cancer and kids book charities. You are just a perv clearly. /s

Prostate cancer is a pretty hard sell.

Don't knock it until you've tried it.
