Several big-name Twitter advertisers are monitoring Elon Musk’s changes to the service, watching and weighing whether to stay on the platform even as United Airlines Holdings Inc. joined a spate of high-profile marketer defections.

Microsoft Corp., Verizon Communications Inc. and Charter Communications Inc. are among the companies taking a wait-and-see approach, and have not made a decision about their Twitter advertising, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified discussing private information. The companies declined to comment.
