SpaceX isn't having an IPO. They are selling shares, which they have done many times in the past. That's different from listing your shares on a public stock exchange.
To clarify after further research what they are doing is called a "Tender Offer"

It's not companies pulling ads that kills the platform. That's not a root cause. Ads pulling out is a consequence.
The root cause of this, is the platform owner choosing to publically engage with a heavily charged emotional minefield where everyone and their dog has chosen hills to die on.
If your goal is to try make Twitter a successful company, wading into that mess is simply not a high quality decision.

Earth’s response, “yeah man, it was DEFINITELY your fault!!”
"But those clarifications were ignored by the media and essentially I handed a loaded gun to those who hate me and arguably to those who are antisemitic. And for that I'm quite sorry, that was not my intention."
You hear that? He's sorry.
Sorry that he's facing consequences for his actions.

He’s probably not all that worried about Xwitter. He’s got billions to spare. Be like wrecking your Ferrari, blaming the wet road when you were just going too fast, and still having 4 more in the garage.
He’s just worried about saving face and how the boards of his companies are going to view his behavior.

Imagine watching Kanye West destroy his public image and then in the same year thinking "Nothing bad will happen if I make antisemitic comments on the media platform I own."
