Topic: Elon Musk and the fall of Twitter - page 15. (Read 2971 times)

It's interesting to see how the actions of one individual, even someone as powerful as Elon Musk, can have such a significant impact on a company like Twitter. This situation highlights the importance of considering the perspectives and needs of all stakeholders, including users and advertisers, in making business decisions. It also emphasizes the potential consequences of disregarding those perspectives, such as loss of revenue and reputation.

Elon has a plan on twitter about X app, the everything app like we chat like we can pay, socialize, communicate, and ETC in one app. I haven't heard any developments on it for sure; they are still reading Twitter codes and studying it, but eventually that will happen for sure as that is a possible thing unless there are hindrances. Also, Elon stated that if they build the X app from scratch, it will take them more years, so to save time, he bought Twitter.

Musk is trying to keep twitter on the ear, it's a marketing component. The fact that there were many layoffs, perhaps this was a forced step so that he could rebuild it in his own way. Musk is a successful businessman, it will not be difficult for him to benefit from this direction. How many diverse businesses he manages to run and in each he manages to achieve success, not everyone will succeed.

Elon is a business mogul, his existence in the business sector is not something that just started yesterday. A few times we've seen this man's assets decline but always come back stronger in an unexpected way without a single blink. Indeed a strong man in the game.

just think of the idea that musk won't acquire this social media platform if he knows he can't control this according to his plans. such expensive acquisition so he won't just sit back and relax if he knows one of his companies is in the brink of failure.
so yeah, there will be ups and downs but definitely he knows what he needs to do to gain profits from this acquisition.

There was such a rumor spreading all over the world but Twitter has been able to slowly recover from that position. I would say that Twitter is in a good position right now. I don't know why people criticize about Twitter from negative aspects, i got one issue that maybe when Elon Musk thought about selling the company at a lower price, at that moment there was a lot of negative thought about it. But according to my knowledge that situation no longer exists. I think Twitter has been able to maintain its reputation in the social media platform all over the world.

I don't know why there is so much hype about Twitter failing. From what I can see, Twitter looks as good as it was before the takeover. Elon reportedly fired close to 90% of the former employees, but as of now it looks as if the platform works without any issues. I haven't noticed any significant downtime or data breaches despite the layoffs. And this means that most of these employees were not being productive earlier and Twitter was overstaffed. One thing that may trouble Elon is the boycotting campaign from some of the advertisers. I am sure that he will get around it.

As a big businessman, Elon Musk has done a thorough analysis of everything he will do and nothing as a big businessman wants to lose. I agree that Elon Musk must have a hidden agenda that has been carefully designed with the team that has been helping him all this time. whatever has happened has been done with twitter is the same situation as what was done with tesla, there is always an intrigue done to give a surprise effect that will have a positive impact on his business.
Elon Musk will always give strength in every effort so that there is a trend that will occur and make the prestige increase and have an impact on the profits that will be received.

Well now Twitter is partnered with Etoro to have users able to buy and sell stocks and crypto. It will only be done on mobile.

I would not feel safe and want to do it on my home computer.  I do not think I would buy Bitcoin on twitter but there are so many people on twitter.  It is good 'bullish" news for us with crypro.

Whoever the owner of the company doesn't matter to those who are verified since they also knew that even if the company fell somehow it has enough foundation built already to rise again. Besides, no owner would want their business to be destroyed not unless there's some personal issues involve, so changing owners from Elon to someone is not really a big deal to them, they're only hoping there would be changes to come and hopefully it is not someone who mess around like Elon did.

I don't know if it's intentional or not but as what I have seen on Elon's behavior, at first, he will let everyone mock him and then exceed their expectation after some time then brag about it for not believing him. He always does this even on his conference and such, but the main thing is that investing into him is like investing on his mood too. Yes, he is a genius it is undeniable fact, but the way his attitude towards things and his views which is very eccentric that most people find it hard to handle and understand. This kind of behavior is acceptable only if you are not the main command of something, but in his situation in which he is the owner of a credible company, people will hesitate to invest into this kind of inconsistency.

It cannot be hidden that Twitter is not going through its best times after the number of advertisers decreased (including 10 of the 32 most important advertisers on the platform). And I think that Musk has not yet shown that he is able to manage the platform and get it out of its crisis. In Elon Musk's previous projects, he did not meet much competition and was able to leave the world in a period of anticipation, but the matter is certainly different with social media platforms that require a periodic update and face fierce competition from giant companies. Do not forget that Twitter is going through financial crises before Musk offers to buy it.

Most of people I have seen talking about this purchase agree that Elon actually overpaid for Twitter, so he cannot sell unless he is willing to take a loss. Since we know he has a big enough ego and he is a businessman, taking losses is something he would like to avoid at all cost.

For not, he plans (besides messing around with the platform) to slowly gather money from people paying for verification, besides the advertisers which still are around.

I have personally still found ads, so that is good news for Elon, and his fans are more than willing not only to buy his perfume but also pay for the blue check mark.  Not expecting him to sell in much time.

Elon is full of drama with hidden agendas. He will not allow his business to fail that easily especially if it involved a huge capital. He will not allow his efforts to be gone so for sure, he will find ways to enlarge his business or rather make big profits from it in the future. He is a business-minded and strategic person and he knows what he's been doing. He's just not too outspoken when it comes to Twitter nowadays. I'm sure that he has bigger plans for it after changing the management and replacing lots of staff.

I really don't know the main reason he bought Twitter in the first instance and not more than a year of planning to sell.

Elon Musk is a well-known businessman, he will not enter into a business that he has not thought about carefully, because there will be no big companies if he is not a smart businessman.
Also, in the event that twitter social media apps go bankrupt or close, they are also prepared to lose or lose business. Although, I don't even agree with the rules he made on twitter, but those are his rules and strategy as a company owner and we can't do anything about it.

Do we still think that Twitter had fallen? No, not even possible now that Elon Musk had taken over. Even with the current conditions that looks like the company is passing through a serious problem, with time everything would still be over and more money would be made. One thing I like about Elon Musk is that he knows how to get what he want through various means which is not always a problem to him. Let's give Elon few  years from now and we are going to see how much he would be making from Twitter since he had already enforce a strategy that would be giving him consistent profits.

which must be acknowledged by anyone with what is done by elon musk, as a businessman everything that is purchased will be maximized so that it can produce something for the benefit of his business. Twitter has changed a lot with what it did as its newest innovation, even though it looks like something phenomenal, Elon Musk has a business purpose. I agree with you, Elon Musk is indeed a genius whose ideas are sometimes very unpredictable so it really happens very easily what he does.

Elon Musk has a genius mind. so that sometimes his thoughts are one step further ahead of us. but after all he is an ordinary person. and he also must have things that are outside of his plans. but I think he will not easily make mistakes. Even behind the purchase of Twitter, I think there is a big agenda behind it that we don't know about. so don't be surprised if he suddenly makes a move we can't understand at all and looks ridiculous.

I think the title is actually too harsh because we can't say that Twitter has fallen yet although it's not as organised as it used to be. Elon Musk actually paid far more than Twitter's worth so he has a lot of work to do to make Twitter attractive to everyone so he can achieve his goal of making twitter an online town hall where people's voice can be heard.

I guess you haven't been reading the news over the past 6 months about all the problems Twitter has had keeping it up and running well. Musk fired a ton of critical personnel, not "people not doing much anyway" lol. It's been widely reported all the issues they've had including issues where literally there was nobody left to deal with problems because entire teams had been let go, and Twitter not running well at times. They are barely even able to operate as a company anymore and the engineers are forced to implement whatever random hairbrained idea pops into Musk's head at any given moment, only to have to roll it back when its a massive failure. That has already happened numerous times since Musk took over. As well as having to shut down certain services on Twitter.

And I never said anything about Musk trying to make money off his Doge pumps. I said he is using his influence to manipulate markets, and the type of people who follow Musk and would buy a meme coin thinking it has some future are highly gullible. He is playing with regular people's finances and shilling a crappy meme coin purely to stroke his own ego. Exactly, he is doing is for the lolz, and messing with people's lives just for that. It's pathetic. Musk is every day more and more of an egomaniacal joke. He used to be a visionary entrepreneur, but he let his success go to his head and now he is just a narcissistic joke with billions of dollars and massive influence to f**k with people's lives just, as you say, for the lolz (aka stroking his ego).
