Let's hope there will be good changes once he acquires it.
2 of my accounts are gone and one of them was changed to a lady owner. I don't know what happened to it so I just trashed it to avoid more problems.
Freedom of speech is good but security must be higher. No to freedom to hack or the freedom to close accounts just because the owner wants him down or the other person's opinion is not in agreement with his.
The better part that I see is if he reconstructs it with cryptocurrencies injected with it.
Topic: At last, Twitter wins the battle!! - page 2. (Read 488 times)
It's no news of Elon's penchant for acquisition and it didn't shock the public when he came out in April to propose a bid to buy Twitter for a whooping $44bn; It seemed doable after all he was rich and a bit impulsive. But news had it that the billionaire at the last minute decided to renege on his offer, citing claims that Twitter had falsified records on the number of accounts on the platform.
But surprisingly, Monday Eve, there seemed to be a change of plans as Elon decided to revisit the deal after months long battle in court and probably, the final decision may not be in his favor hence the move.
Compared to Facebook and TikTok, Twitter seems to be less favorable but has for long being the opinion ground for the likes of Elon and ex president Donald Trump. Although the latter was banned from the platform.
Prior to the purchase of Twitter, in April, $8.5bn shares in Tesla was sold, while in May, $7bn was lined from investors while in Aug, another $7bn shares of Tesla was sold all in preparation

A good turn of events for Twitter as they are close to closing the deal. Elon has good plans for the social network as he believed that before going back on the deal initially, he could have 500 million users daily and rake in $13.2bn as revenue come 2025. Tall order or can it be achieved? https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/04/technology/elon-musk-twitter-deal.html

I wouldn't say this story is over until Elon has successfully handed over every last cent required to complete the deal. When he made this announcement that he was now actually buying it, there was the requirement that Twitter drop the currently open lawsuit against Elon (which he will lose as Delaware law is very business friendly). It might also not be too healthy for press freedom even if it does go through, because we've seen what an unstable psychopath he really is underneath with his countless outbursts and he would no doubt be willing to stoop to any low in order to have other people fund his acquisition (think Saudi Arabia who might love backdoor control of such a social network service).
Twitter has been one of those applications I consider very influential and also very controversial. It's really different from other social media application and has a more serious approach in the sense that people who normally aren't active on other platforms are very active on Twitter. It doesn't surprise me that Elon musk is very much interested in Twitter ownership.
From Elon musk twitters you can have little idea of the type of person he is. I would equate him with the likes of Rapper Kanye west in a way, their taste of reason draws some questions. And as they always want to be hard and their ideology stuffed down the throat of others, buying of twitter is the right step in the eyes of Elon musk, I see him dropping or easing some regulations in the platform.

Good news for Twitter investors, But the staff is pretty much toast. Bunch SF based woke tards.
Good. More jobs available for people that actually hope to achieve the company's goal. Reports suggest the internal Twitter employee group chats were in tears over the finalization of the deal. It's a bit odd though, the Twitter board was desperate for this deal to go through. So it seemed like the board was at odds with its employees, but it wouldn't be the first time inner turmoil of a company.
I would suggest to Elon in the start that he needed to fire the woksters the moment he stepped in. It seems as if they're saving him the trouble and resigning themselves. Good for them, less work for Elon to find the trouble makers that would sabotage his company from within.
What exciting is he is actually putting another businesses Money into Twitter and it’s a golden rule that we should never mix up things. I’m feeling bad about employees and Share holders of Tesla since big number of shares are getting liquidated and thus affecting the market severely and holders could be in jeopardy whether they should keep holding them or should they liquidate the same for Twitter.
On the hand it’s good news for Twitter, it’s gonna be in the hands of worlds richest man and obviously it’s Share will rise and have more valuation for obvious reasons.

Elon Musk is a big adventurer and this deal will not end quickly. As soon as Tesla's shares fell by 10%, he began to develop programs for the peaceful end of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. But the most interesting thing is that the news resources wrote that the reason for the fall in the value of the shares was Elon Musk's statement 
I am not sure if they do, after all they are going to lose Twitter to Elon, it would be wiser to keep the product and not sell it. I understand that billions of dollars is not something to scoff at, and if someone offered you billions of dollars on what you won right now, you would take it.
But, if someone offered me 40-50 billion dollars, or twitter, I would prefer to own twitter instead of that money. They are both making a good amount of revenue to begin with, and they are also growing in size as well. Twitter lost its appeal for a while back in the day, but these days politics really took a big hold of twitter (and crypto too) and that made it grow bigger.

It's too early to tell if this moment is good or bad for Twitter, but this is definitely a game-changing moment for them in the social media space.
Whether it's good or bad for Twitter is irrelevant. Twitter is like a ship with smashed deck and is still under enemy fire - water's not inside it but most guns, radar, and support are out of action and it will be very hard for someone even like Elon Musk to steer the ship to safety without it getting shot up and sunk first.
Given the nature of tech leaders today, Twitter is in a bad state and it will only get worse from here.
Large social media companies "cannot fail" so instead of seeing them dead with shuttered doors, you will just see an undead zombie instead.
I guess the recent economic woes got to him which is why it wasn't easy for him to cancel the deal completely. Musk is an amazing innovator for sure, but he is one filthy human being which is why I don't feel sad for him at all.

Also, I observed some posters in this thread actually supporting him for his stance on cryptocurrencies which is really weird considering the fact that he is one of the primary reasons why BTC sank rapidly from its ATH.

Well, I know one thing....
Elon Musk loves Crypto currencies ....and he will most definitely encourage Crypto content on Twitter if he eventually buy it. We have seen a lot of these large social media platforms ..banning Crypto currency advertising, because it was either too expensive to filter the genuine content from the scams or the masters behind the scenes.. pushed their own agenda.
Let's hope his stand on Crypto currencies will stay the same ...and that he will allow "freedom" for legitimate Crypto currency projects to flourish on the Twitter platform.
I really hope he does not change this platform to a "subscription" service only.
Heh! Yeah right! Personally I think he just likes anything that brings in more cash. Him supporting the spread of crypto is a fifty fifty situation. It could happen that he might promote crypto as he did when he purchased over $1.5bn worth of BTC and was able to push it's value higher but I won't be surprised if he uses the platform for something else.Elon Musk loves Crypto currencies ....and he will most definitely encourage Crypto content on Twitter if he eventually buy it.

If there is anything one should understand about Elon is his ability to be innovative and different.
So I am a little disappointed that deal is now called off. We probably would have seen a very different Twitter if Elon could become the owner of Twitter.
But no worries! Better luck next time!
I think that you might have misunderstood what OP wrote, or you wrote your comment based on the title which can be misleading. So, situation is quite the opposite and few days ago Elon changed his decision (yet again) and this time he decided to go through with Twitter takeover. If I am you I wouldn't celebrate just yet as knowing Elon and his tendency to change opinion, there is still chance that this deal doesn't happen.But no worries! Better luck next time!
I think he was mainly responsible for the dump from 58k to 41k because at that exact moment Musk posted his rant about bitcoin using too much energy and told the world that Tesla wouldn't accept it unless it's green...
If he was responsible for dump from 59k to 41k, was he also responsible for pump before that? While he certainly affected BTC price at the beginning of his interaction with Bitcoin, I don't think that he had that much of a power over bitcoin price. 
Elon is a business predator but a strong supporter of internet freedom and cryptocurrency. So personally I think this takeover would have been a blessing for the people who believes in free speech and internet freedom. So I am a little disappointed that deal is now called off. We probably would have seen a very different Twitter if Elon could become the owner of Twitter.

There's no such freedom if you will set this platform for a subscription only even if they accept cryptocurrency, so I think Elon will not make this one and probably focus first more on cleaning the twitter which reject many facts. It's finally good to settle this issue and hopefully Elon will really introduce good crypto instead of a meme token, let's see their next step with this one and see what will be the big change in the Twitter platform.

Elon loves to troll about crypto. He puts a meme coin first in his list, loves Dogecoin more than the rest of the coins. He sold a good amount of his Bitcoin holdings. He removed Bitcoin from Tesla's accepted payment options because of a misunderstanding of Bitcoin's energy consumption. He either fell to FUD or was acting based on wrong information.
So I'm not sure if Twitter would be a lot better in Elon's hands than in Jack's hands. And I surely wouldn't hope that Elon's stand on cryptocurrency stays. I'd rather that he just keeps his mouth shut as far as crypto is concerned.
Reminds me of the time Elon said if the UN World Food Programme gave him a plan for how they could spend it, he'd give them $6 billion USD.
They called his bluff, and presented him with a plan.
He never paid up.
Luckily, this time, Twitter brought in the lawyers to get him to put up or shut up.

In theory, twitter is a large tech corporation. Can anyone think of a technical feature they have added over the last 5 years aside from support for more characters in tweets.
It could be safe to say twitter is a tech company that doesn't do any actual tech. What twitter's CEO and employees do remains a mystery. As they do not appear to be in the process of updating twitter or rolling out new features.
We have recently seen facebook try to deploy their next generation platform in the form of metaverse. Now it appears that Elon Musk will try to do the same using twitter as a foundation:
Twitter could have good growth potential. There haven't been many attempts to improve on the standard model of social media. And of course you know Elon isn't afraid to try.

As far as I know, the biggest last update that I'm familiar with is launching their own in-app live video streaming, and that is like 2016-2017. And they are lucky that up to this day, they are still standing eventhough not much has change in their platform.
And so let's see how Elon will improved Twitter after he acquires is, specially the security as we all know that it has been a target for many hacking groups. Also, that it is being used by crypto enthusiast all over the world, hopefully Elon will have to prioritized those tweets, either positive or negative.

Yeah there is no way that Elon is going to start making it a subscription service. If any of these social media outlets ever try making it something that you have to pay for, most everyone is just going to leave. They already make an extreme amount of money by all the ads they run alone.
I personally don't have much hope or I should say faith in Elon making twitter better. I think he's an ego maniac and just wanted to buy it because he can and want's the attention. Hope I'm wrong.

If the media platform is controlled by one person, of course the world is no longer free from freedom of speech. Even if the deal goes smoothly, it's certainly not good news. I don't want this world to be controlled by one person.
I think presently Twitter has rules and regulations for customers and terms and conditions that is whet guide the freedom of speech. A single person or Elon musk is not able to do so by limiting someone from communication but the terms and condition will do that on the offence we can see Donald Trump as the example because he went against T&C of Twitter.
As the simplest example, if Elon Musk likes Dogecoin, and he doesn't like Bitcoin, then the whole media will hashtag (#) about Dogecoin, and do a takedown on Bitcoin. I gave the example of crypto because I don't want to talk about politics and the broader economy.
This is about his business and what he like to do or promote. If he is # for dogecoin and people going with him to that it is not his making because he didn't make it force to anybody to follow him , this is different and not like controlling what someone says or do in twitter.
