Topic: Elon Musk and the fall of Twitter - page 2. (Read 2971 times)

Refreshing to see someone approach the whole Elon Musk saga with a differentiated point of view.

Just look what our friend fmr. SEC Chair Jay Clayton had to say about Elon Musk. I thought he would be ranting about Elon Musk at least to a certain degree, but he took a very differentiated stance on some of the statements Elon Musk made. I watched the entire interview with Musk and as you correctly said, this is not about arrogance when he said "GFY" (as he repeats a couple of times). He explains that there is no reason for anyone to respect people who want to see you dead. Like literally destroyed. He is also making a lot of respectable points that I could not verify, like complying with a hundred millions of regulations etc., but I think this is why the follow up talk with Jay Clayton brings some value here. He did not contradict Musk and I was a bit impressed because the SEC and Musk have a nice relationship with each other

I liked the part when Musk said that his life is about physics and that is mostly what counts, not whether someone likes him or hates him because when you break physics, it breaks you. Opinions can break without collateral damage. He said if he shoots a rocket to the moon, it all is about whether it explodes or not. That's all people will be interested in once they use a rocket. Not whether he is an asshole. And he has got a point there.

The whole story looks a little different. He said that he will not fall to blackmail, especially if they blackmail him with money... which is expected from him, who has a lot of money. I think he deserves respect for this, at least from our crypto side, he said NO to the system, to the FIAT system. And if you think it's cocky you need to check why "BIG NAMES" started to back out from advertising on Twitter.

I think that Elon is trying to enter the big league by his own rules, and we will see will he succeeds in that. For now, I enjoy watching him fighting about some "traditionalists".

Now our guy Musk is telling advertisers to F*UCK themselves and never come back to Twitter/X
 Here is one source in case anyone of you is curious:

To me it seems Elon got triggered by the interviewer when he got asked about advertisers and the renevue Twitter/X is missing out/bledding. I don't know about you guys, but to me Elon is not supposed to try and act cocky and swear in public like that, it does not look professional at all.
I know he is trying to go with his typical attitude of eccentric and all-mighty billionaire, buy in my opinion it would be better if he focused in getting some advertisers in and tried to increase the value of the platform, at this pace it may be just matter of time before a serious competition to Twitter appears.

Elon Musk was being accused of antisemitism from the big advertisers on twitter.  He did have some things to say to people who did accuse him of antisemitism.

This is one of the boldest steps taken by Twitter (Musk) in a clear challenge to the policies of the countries whose sovereign decisions he is supposed to support. The global debate over the Palestinian issue puts many parties between very difficult choices. Elon Musk is one of the few who refused to abandon the humanitarian character with which he wanted to touch people's emotions in exchange for challenging the authorities who support Zionist options.
I cannot be certain that Musk’s empire will fall because of his support for publishing positions said to be anti-Semitic, but I am certain that this will not pass easily, and I would not be surprised if there are restrictions on the activities of Musk’s companies, and not just the Twitter platform.

Elon Musk is not much different from Steve Jobs, he doesn't have comprehensive knowledge, he has the ability to manage people who are competent in certain fields and use them to develop the company he wants to build. maybe he is really confused in some areas, such as being a dogecoin shilling but there are still many great things he is building. there are many predictions about Elonmusk's future, all the companies he is building are really in the right chain, he will definitely be one of the people who change this world into something great through the companies he founded and leads.

Well after removing them in August Elon Musk says twitter will now start to show the titles with URLs in previews. For me it is better this way when I am searching with twitter on my phone.
I like it better that way. Because I did not like it to have to click on the URL card just so we can know the title.
https://techcrunch.com/2023/11/22/elon-musk-says-x-will-show-headlines-on-the-platform-again/

That guy is full of surprises, and all the action taken by him was major events like promoting doge, taking over Twitter, and announcing to make Twitter a financial hub All this looks preplanned. There can be short term downsides that we are observing right now but in the long term they can be really massive for the industry. His past record shows he is a successful businessman, and I think he knows what he is doing. It is not like his twitter deal was unintentional and he was forced to buy the company. 

Well Elon Musk will now be doing a very good deed. He did say he will donate the advertising money from twitter to the hospitals in Israel and the Red Cross in Gaza.

He was being accused making it ok for saying some antisemitic things on twitter. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12776891/Elon-Musk-donate-X-advertising-revenue-hospitals-Israel-Red-Cross-Gaza.html

And now that there is many advertisers upset at Elon Musk, he got a offer from Andrew Tate. He is a supporter of him and said he would pay Elon Musk $1 Million a month to help fund twitter.
I think Andrew Tate is being nice to Elon Musk since he reinstated his account when he bought twitter. And because Andrew Tate says he makes $20,000 on just 1 payout from twitter.

Well Elon Musk did say some things on Twitter that did make some companies upset. Some of the big advertisers are IBM, Apple, Lionsgate, Disney, Paramount, and Comcast.

It all has to do with antisemitic content on Twitter that Elon Musk has allowed to happen. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/11/17/elon-musk-x-companies-pulling-ads-anti-semitism/

Yes you are right it is not to be taken very seriously. But we are all curious who is doing those tweets and just because it is a Satoshi Nakamoto 'spotting'. We can hope it will help manipulate Bitcoin price for the higher.

Arguably he was the first user. The others were just dummy accounts and an auto-generated administrator account. There's no way someone would've registered before him, because he's the one who made the forum in the first place.


That account is bullshitting for the sake of manipulating the Bitcoin price. I recommend not paying it any attention.

If this is what's actually happening then it's safe to say his a jack of all trades and a master of non...but then again it will be unfair to say because his among the first to get Electric vehicles that are street legal, the first to use satellite internet in our orbits which actually provides fast internet for people towns and remote areas..surely he definitely is a genius unless his just the face of the company and the real brains behind all these innovations remain unknown to the world 

What I want to know is if you will pay $16 each month for your Twitter. Because Elon Musk has the plans for a ad-free 'Premium+' tier and a $3 'basic' tier.
I do not feel so many will want to pay for Twitter prices like this. When you can have it for free, with ads. https://www.engadget.com/x-introduces-an-ad-free-premium-tier-for-16-a-month-191523132.html

Well Elon Musk has lost so much money just from when he did buy Twitter last year for $44 Billion. He said to employees yesterday it is now worth only $19 Billion, so it is down 55 percent.

Well Elon Musk has said he wants to make Twitter a full scale finance platorm in a year. But now he is saying he wants to make Twitter a Dating app also.

He said this on a video call this week to his employees. https://www.nydailynews.com/2023/10/27/x-twitter-becoming-dating-app/

Well this is a article from the Guardian. ‘Let that sink in!’ The 13 tweets that tell the story of Elon Musk’s turbulent first year at Twitter (or X).

It does a good job for explaining how Elon Musk has changed Twitter since he bought it for $44 Billion. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/oct/21/let-that-sink-in-the-13-tweets-that-tell-the-story-of-elon-musks-turbulent-first-year-at-twitter-or-x

Elon Musk bought Twitter, changed it to X in name and made many big changes in the company to serve his vision. At the same time, he must keep that social media platform is profitable by keeping advertisers and corporations on the platform.

It will be challenged by many laws, regulations in Europe and other nations and if Elon Musk continues to direct X to be a social media platform for freedom of opinion, the platform will get more legal issues.

I still think that he will not change if X continues to improve in next like 6 months or 1 year but recent news from Europe is not actually good and expected by Elon Musk.

As an EU citizen, this doesn't surprise me at all. Elon is in trouble even in US at the moment. Fighting EU regulators would be too much for him to handle so he is backing down, just like with the fight against Mark.

Luckily i just managed to sell my twitter account, today, before it all comes crumbling down. I almost deleted it for free, but waited as i knew my account was worth money. Least now i got something from it and don't have to be part of that mess anymore, ever. It's like a huge elon sized weight lifted off my shoulders. I am free again. Moving to other social medias. Maybe i'll become fulltime redditor as anyhing is better than twitter.
