GM temporarily suspends advertising on Twitter following Elon Musk takeover

Under CEO Mary Barra, the Detroit company was among the first automakers to announce billions of dollars in spending to better compete against Tesla regarding electric vehicles.

General Motors will create 4,000 new jobs and retaining 1,000, and significantly increasing battery cell and electric truck manufacturing capacity.

The future direction of Twitter has been at the center of Musk's takeover of the social media platform.

Musk also said in a statement to advertisers this week that he cannot let Twitter become a "free for all hellscape."

Musk has long boasted that Tesla does not pay for traditional advertising, a cost that has added up for traditional automakers' brands through the years.

It reported marketing, promotional and advertising costs that were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 in financial filings with the SEC.
