Elon Musk said he'd love to see 'ads for gizmos' on Twitter because otherwise he has to have his assistant find the gizmo he sees online and buy it for him
, saying he thinks the company should combine their ad and tweet recommendation engines to"actually show people ads that are as accurate as possible to their interests."
"An ad done really well that is what somebody would actually want to buy, especially if it's when they want to buy, is actually content," he told employees."In order for that to be content, you have to have a wide range of ads." He added:"Being asked to sign up for a mortgage when you have no interest in that whatsoever is annoying and spam."
The Tesla CEO went on to describe his own penchant for social-media shopping and his targeted product"I'd love to see ads for gizmos. If I saw ads for gizmos, I love gizmos, of course, I'd buy them all in a click," he said."Even if they're not that great, I'll still buy gizmos. I love technology. I'll see content for gizmos but not an ad or an ability to actually buy the gizmo.
"So then I have to send it to my assistant like, 'Please buy this gizmo,'" he continued."That's how it goes generally. But I'd be happy to just click on it and buy it."Sign up for notifications from Insider!
