He’s apparently restored Kanye West’s account already. I’m not sure what he’s thinking here. Mainstream advertisers are allergic to overt, explicit anti-semitism. Twitter becomes a right-wing ghetto if you drive off all of the non-MAGA people. All the wingnut welfare and MyPillow ads in the world can’t keep Twitter societally relevant.
It's very easy for them to "de-monetize" accounts, like YouTube does. They can leave the anti-semitism up, but ban ads from showing up anywhere near it.

Honestly I think most brands taking any kind of moral stand will end up becoming customers again. Brands have no actual morals and know their customers' attention spans are short.
