This move could open the door to a vast pool of small and medium-sized businesses that operate on Amazon’s marketplace. However, sources suggest that these discussions are still in the early stages and may not necessarily lead to an agreement. Similarly, X has been in talks with digital advertising platform PubMatic (NASDAQ:PUBM) about sharing some of its ad inventory.
This comes after a significant advertiser exodus, triggered partly by Elon Musk‘s controversial remarks on the platform, including his response to an antisemitic post and his public spat with Disney’s (NYSE:DIS) Bob Iger.
