The company said it will soon add the ability to serve ads to individual creator's profiles, eliminating the chance of an ad appearing next to a controversial post.

X's ad revenue has fallen by more than 50 per cent since Musk took over the company.

Meanwhile, just last year, X's ad revenue was around $2.5 billion, well short of the $3 billion target set by the company.

Apple, Disney and IBM, pulled their ads from the platform in response to allegations that Musk had posted anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.
