Topic: At last, Twitter wins the battle!! (Read 528 times)

The future of twitter is bright like crypto
Please are ultimately switching to twitter for more serious and decent content
SO twitter hold the power to attract the people and the buyer

Considering how he has been kissing the dictators hands all over the world, and he is a weird fellow, I am pretty sure that Twitter will be much much worse with him at the helm.

I mean this dude is not a good dude, you need to realize that, many people idolize him, and yes it is true that you should idolize the hardwork he has, or the entrepreneur mindset that he has and so forth but that doesn't mean that he should be still making any type of mistakes in his personal life or interviews or in this case even his tweets. Dude is a good business person, but a horrible person and you need to learn to separate the two from each other for sure.

Your hope is still possible, after months of arguments between the two parties, although Elon has announced that he will buy back twitter at an agreed price, it seems that Elon has not yet received the consent of the shareholders of twitter. They remain silent for now and it is not clear what their actions are this time and the trial will begin on October 17, if Elon doesn't get the nod from twitter on the 17th, he will most likely end up in court. Elon is in a more passive position than twitter, if he loses the lawsuit, he will have to pay 1 billion VND for breaking the contract.

Yes twitter can still be developed again and that's a lot of hope when Elon Musk wants to buy it,
new features are highly anticipated so that twitter looks fresher,
obviously let's just see what will happen next

It's clear that one of your accounts gets hacked but you should report it and see if the twitter team will recover it. You can also include your other account when you report. Don't just ignore the problem and let the hackers won because they will be more motivated to do the same thing again especially if more users are going to respond the same as you.

Let's assume that they will improve Twitter overall not just its security because there are a lot of flaws from the previous versions of Twitter. Adding cryptos on the platform is also a good idea other than the crypto topics that we see there. This will make Twitter more crypto-oriented versus to other social media sites.

Elon Musk could transform Twitter into an analogue of WeChat in China. WeChat was primary just a chat app, not it is a used for banking, trading good, booking stuff and etc. Payment system integrated into communication app. Users phone number is the account. Elon Musk has enough funds to convert Twitter into something like that, or add similar functions. That might cause users to lose part of their anonymity, but that will kill all those unwilled twitter bots or fake accounts.

Twitter can be expanded, its not limited to what it is right now.  I cant see the point of buying it without some vision for expansion to its capabilities, not sure it would be another youtube but short videos are apparently preferable in revenue terms anyway and more relevant to the mobile idea it originated with.

If you could delete every single bot all at once somehow (which is near impossible) then you do not have to worry about all of them restarting again. At the very least you have stopped them being so common at first, and that’s a big deal, and after they are all gone, they can start to accumulate more bot accounts but it will be a slow and gradual increase, it won't be right away.

Meaning, let’s assume there are 10 million bot accounts, if we start to see 10k at first, then 50k in a year, then 100k in 2 years, and then 1 million in 3 years, that’s still nowhere close. Maybe it will take as much as 5 years to have the same bot accounts and that makes twitter a better place for 5 years. Instead of just keep growing bigger.

Many people think that it's good is Musk buys Twitter. To be honest, I am surprised. That would create a monopoly on decision-making by a person whose thoughts and opinions change quite often, and who also regularly manages to say something that is insensitive and offends many people. Musk claims he supports freedom of speech, but, honestly, I am not sure that I believe that he won't just ban those who write what he doesn't like (Rogozin, without whom the platform is probably better off, but also ElonJet whom Musk sees as a security risk but couldn't make shut up yet, to name just a few). I hope he won't be able to buy Twitter in the end.

If this platform is used as a subscription, I think this platform will only be accessed by certain people, not like now, as for if they implement a subscription system, there must be additional features such as other platforms that already apply the subscription feature.

I doubt Google's Alphabet Inc want to sell their golden egg, Youtube. Even a share seems unlikely. Twitter has been shit for years. You, me and a lot of sensible people wouldn't go to Twitter at all. As someone said, the place had a bunch of woke craps and blue hair landwhale that come to offensive from anything. A good reason why Twitter wants a sellout rather than keep operating that site.
Elon Musk has a noble goal for Twitter, to push for it to become more open, more freedom of speed after the takeover. So maybe he did see the potential of the site after that and willing to keep on the purchase. His criticism of Twitter because the place is full of bots is valid too. No wonder he halts the purchase at that concern, to lower the initial price.

It seems that things are not over yet, although Elon has announced that he will buy back twitter at the original agreed price. Elon proved weaker in this sale, twitter has not withdrawn the lawsuit when Elon announced to accept the deal. The trial will begin on October 17, although the event has nothing to do with the markets, it is well worth watching as we are know that Elon is a crypto fan.
Twitter is really a great social network, the only annoying thing is that there are so many bots, I also hope that after taking over he will have a solution to this problem.

Bots have been one of the main worries for Elon about Twitter, in fact it was one of the main reasons the deal did not happened immediately as he was not happy about this situation, and if we are honest it is going to be very difficult for him to solve this problem, because as long as there is money to be made scammers will always find a way to circumvent whatever barriers to entry he puts in place and keep operating as usual.

It is an opinion ground for some and majority of times they block people who has an opinion, so i would personally like to see Elon Musk taking over Twitter because he will not restrict anyone simply because of an opinion. Whether he will be able to purchase them is another story as it is hard to understand his views with his cryptic messages most of the time as he likes to troll majority of the time.

I think this is a good decision that could benefit everyone because even though his plans to go public didn't materialize, it was still important that he took control of the growth from where Dorsey left off. Let's wait for the official announcement for more information in terms of reaching agreement on the figures mentioned above.

I can't imagine about what if twitter had been bought and managed by Elon, his last history on kirpto I know that he has dropped crypto prices to tweet some "FUD" information on his twitter account, after that I have unfollowed his tweets because he is not important for me to know. So I support twitter to stay in Jack's hands and maybe he can cancel Elon's offer, currently twitter is the most friendly social media about crypto discussions to give announcements, debate, discuss and more about freedom of expression without regulatory intervention that suppresses the right of expression related to crypto.

Twitter had suffered alot from it critics across the world to an extent that some countries even got the social media network banned within their region without any notice, but i understand this is something that has to do with not the abuse use proported but the negotiating hands eith the government which has been a long itching challenge for both sides, but at the end they must come into concession and allow the smoothy operations to resume just as in this case.

What I badly want to change about Twitter is the proliferation of scammer bots. They are simply unchecked. Every time you take a look at tweets of popular crypto personalities, you will see that they are flooded with comments from bogus accounts posting shady links and promoting scam projects. If I'm not mistaken, some of these scammers have already managed to get that blue badge.

Twitter has already integrated crypto features at the hands of Jack. And I think that whether Twitter will transfer ownership or not, it will still be further developed with Bitcoin or crypto in consideration.

I don't know what the former owners of twitter were thinking when they decided to sell it but with what you're saying, I think Elon seems to see the potential this social network has for him, especially with his businesses, twitter will bring thousands of benefits to Elon and his work. I think that's why he suggested buying twitter. The stalled deal could also be his plot, maybe he's already achieved his goal that we can't see.

That's what a lot of people expected but so far it hasn't happened,
when Elon Musk actually acquires Twitter maybe later there will be development and there are some new features,
for now it's better to enjoy the rumors and keep up with the progress

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.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
 If there is anything one should understand about Elon is his ability to be innovative and different.

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.



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.

But no worries! Better luck next time!

To me it seems impossible Elon will try to make Twitter a service for which you need to pay a subscription to use it at all, if he did that then people will just abandon Twitter massively as soon as that announcement was made, now we will have to see what changes he implements once he buys Twitter, because while some of the things he wants to achieve sound good in theory the question is how is he going to achieve them?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.


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.

It seems that Elon Musk is too ambitious to buy the entire media platform. 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. Regardless of our individual perception of Elon Musk. To me that's something negative. 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.

That's the thing Elon Musk loves making money and one thing that he will do is to promote as much as he can on Twitter, especially crypto-related things. I don't think that he'll try to limit's people freedom of speech on Twitter as it will also affect him profit wise. However, what concerns me is his huge ego and there's a high possibility that he'll try to throw everyone under the bus just as what he already did before.

I don't think so. One thing that Elon loves is money and himself.
Some of the things he did in the space include posting bitcoin related pictures and memes on twitter to let people know that he's buying, waiting for the crowd to follow his steps and then selling and posting false accusations towards bitcoin and bitcoin community. Telling everyone that Tesla would accept bitcoin, then cancelling the deal.
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...
He's a good businessman but he's not fighting for your freedom or trying to help you make money. He wants to make money at all cost which includes throwing you under the bus and he wants more freedom for himself, even at the cost of your freedom.

Well, I just hope that he'll clean it up as most social medias, mostly in Twitter it's full of propaganda and I hope that he'll able to maintain neutrality for its platform.

With this purchase, I'm now looking at the money that he'll pay for this acquisition will be put into some good projects that Jack Dorsey has been working on.

I just hope that whatever proposal has been made for some additional features that has the past management of Twitter is planning, those good additional features that are related to crypto, he'll continue.

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.  

Elon's going to try but will ultimately fail at fixing Twitter, and it's really Twitter's fault for becoming a cesspool for all national intelligence agencies in the first place. Since he can't possibly stand against all these governments at once, somebody needs to make the Twitter killer. No need to worry about Facebook because they are busy killing themselves with the abortive Metaverse initiative. Youtube will also die a swift death at the hands of TikTok.

Ubiquitous computing is the future, not VR/AR. Xerox discovered that decades ago but decided to sit on it for reasons which don't concern us. The sooner somebody realizes this, the faster Web 2.0 will die (and Web 3.0 emerges).

Now, believe me I'm happy Twitter is being bought by someone so ostensibly pro-free speech as Elon Musk, but man....I would have busted one in my pants if he'd purchased Youtube instead.  As far as social media platforms go, Twitter is extremely popular and one that IMO needs to be overhauled.  But seeing as how I don't use it and do watch videos on YT quite a bit, it would have probably made creators on that site a lot less skittish about what they say and what topics they can and can't cover.

But still I'm pleased with this.  Maybe soon Twitter will become less of a left-wing stronghold, but we'll see.  Elon Musk is not only impulsive, he's unpredictable, so it's anyone's guess as to what changes are going to be made.

I am not that much certain that this is good for Twitter. Elon seems to have a quite simplistic idea about what freedom of speech means and this will most probably be conflicting with what Twitter had until now.
Will this be better or worse? I don't know yet, but I expect that at start it will probably leave some people disappointed (both those who will be surprised Trump gets his account back and those hoping the FUD and fake news will be eradicated instantly - or at all). Also many are expecting crypto payments over Twitter, but this means obeying regulation and much more strict KYC, so, again, too much hopium.
I would not be surprised that also various troll armies will no longer get punished (freedom of speech, you know). And probably the bots will not be so easy to eradicate.

Personally, I don't expect the final verdict of the court or out-of-court settlement (as the case may eventually be) to be in his favour. I have known him as a man of questionable character even when everyone in the world appreciates him, I do appreciate his successes though. He should not expect to be playing immaturely with formal dealings. Maybe he now sees where the judgment is heading, he is now acknowledging what he should have done months ago instead of trying to destroy the image of Twitter and claiming they are not sincere.

This is good news to the buyers of Twitter's stocks this week, I guess more is to be witnessed soon.

Good news for Twitter investors, But the staff is pretty much toast. Bunch SF based woke tards.

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
