Visa, for example, spent $10 in the 12 weeks to October 6, compared to $77,500 during the same period last year, according to Sensor Tower's data.

I'm no business genius like musk, but I'm gonna take a guess that wouldn't even pay the bills for the ridiculous X sign he put on the roof and then had to take down.

Why pay the $10? If you're going to drop from 77k to 10 you might as well drop to zero, right? There must be some nuance or legalese around this that I don't understand

Isn't $10 the monthly subscription fee or whatever it's called? Maybe they just want to keep that checkmark besides their name.
