While I agree this is a problem, it should be noted that the youtube adpocolips was triggered by similar concern on cherry picked examples that hurt creators in the end. We should be promoting the idea that algorithmically served ads are not an endorsement of what they are served with. The neo nazi stuff is a content moderation problem that needs to be fixed because of ... you know ... gestures broadly.

Except Twitter does not view it as a content moderation problem and users of Twitter don't benefit from ads. If Elon wants ad revenue he should ban these people from the platform, instead he does the opposite.
