Topic: What did elon do wrong in Twitter - page 2. (Read 2307 times)

Those of us who troll the performance of Messi, Neymar or Ronaldo or create memes about them are never at their level. Similarly, those of us who laugh at Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter or say that he acted like a fool by buying Twitter for such a huge amount of money, we are not Elon Musk's class of people at all. Elon Musk's thoughts will never match our thoughts. Elon Musk is a billionaire and he is one of the richest people in the world, but we can never think the way he would. The huge amount of money he bought Twitter with is a lot of money to us but maybe the money to buy Twitter is not that much to him and he must have bought Twitter thoughtfully. 

Since he is not upset about his two purchases, we should not fear that he has acted foolishly.

More importantly, do you have enough money to own a Tesla car? Don't rush to call them trash when the whole world is hunting them and is willing to spend hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars to own them. Reviewing a product that has been analyzed and reviewed by industry experts, are you a technical expert?

You graduated from college and are a financial advisor, but have you done anything that surpasses Elon? Because when we want to evaluate or criticize someone, we must at least be better than them, but if you only use words and words to criticize them, that only proves that you are jealous of them. When evaluating someone, people look at the results that person achieved and not just because you evaluate Elon, he is a bad person, and you are a good person.

Holy shit I nearly had a brain aneurism decoding your post.  First off, lots of conjecture in your post, and lots of false statements. I think. Still not 100% sure what the heck I just ..read..I guess you could call it. I went to college and got a degree in business management, so I’ve got a slight understanding of how to run a business or how one is properly ran. I also know that Elon is absolutely an incredible businessman, but that doesn’t mean he runs his businesses the most efficient way and that he hasn’t done a shit job in many aspects, of tye businesses he’s been a part of , or owns (but never created on his own accord..space x is probably the best example of HIS company /business but it wouldn’t have been possible if not for major government grants and he doesn’t create shit..he just oversees people who oversee the people creating things. He’s got a lot of people fooled in to thinking he’s some real life Tony Stark, which couldn’t be further from reality. I also don’t use or support any business he owns. I don’t have a twitter / X account, I’d never buy a Tesla as half of them are shit, I wouldn’t buy is solar panels as they are ripe with issues etc etc.

Elon is one of history’s greatest businessmen, fact. Largely propped up on his fame and ability to fool people who only see things from a one perspective level. Bill Gates is an unbelievable businessman too..did he create Microsoft ? Did he create a false perception of whom he really is as a person? Dig a bit deeper my friend.

Today I decided to take a look to Twitter/X after a while without checking out the trends on there and stuff. As usual there days, I found Israel to be among the main trends of the day and I decided to check out what was going on exactly.
Eventually, after a while, I encounter someone who opened a thread about how the planet has a problem of pedophile Jews and how they use their power and influence to sexually slave children.
Those were about 6 posts filled with stuff which are very disturbing, not only because of the nature of what was being saying, but also because the huge amount of antisemitism being created and spread without anyone doing anything about it...
Like... I get the approach of Musk is to have a social media which is supposed to be as free speech as possible for people to express their ideas and opinions, but claiming Jewish people in general have tendencies towards being attracted to minors and act of it sounds like something completely different from what I would have expected to see in a place where freedom is key.

These are very wacky and strange political and societal times we all are living though, there is no doubt about it...

Have to agree thats a smart measure, you never really want to have people pay to play or for access to free speech.  There should be a better standard then that in a public forum ideally of course, I realize money makes business in plenty of other normal avenues but it did seem incorrect to go the money route on blue marks.

Good to see they can admit some mistakes perhaps, everybody makes them of course.   Also it was contradictory to what he said about advertising and how they would not be biased by the demands of big money companies,.  Quite admirable  though idealistic to the point of being unrealistic as everywhere there is advertising & its a kind of overt bias on purpose.
  In the West at least we do accept this deliberate bias as needed as part of capitalism but doesn't make it right and some of it is just lies to put it nicely.

 There's definitely an argument with two sides to it on this advertising question for pretty much every website on the internet.   Advertising on one kind or another pre dates Bitcoin for required funding in quite a bit of activity.

You would really be having that kind of boggled mind on why people has always that something that has to say on whatever the decisions made by Elon, as if they do really knows on how to handle up a business or company on which whenever they've seen that those steps and actions been made out is against into their interest then they would really be directly be criticizing it on which it isnt really just that
they would really be shutting up their mouths and let those owners handle their own business. They are smarter than you and its their company in the first place and its none of your business
on what they would gonna do into their own company.

It is really just that simple on which if you dont really like on how they do act out then you could really always stop on using their service as simple as that.
Lots of bashes and criticisms but still ending up on using it. lol

Elon Musk is the best businessman and he knows how to do business. He has struggled a lot in life and has taken many challenges head-on, in which case he made a mistake by buying Twitter, we might be wrong if we say that. There must be some reasons behind his purchase of Twitter with huge amount of money which he is not revealing till now. Before starting a new business one has to invest a lot of money in that business and there are many losses in the beginning of the business. If the traders can accept the loss and hold on to their business, then later they achieve success in that business. Since he bought Twitter with this huge amount of money, one day he will surely reveal the real purpose of buying Twitter.

And now Elon Musk is going to give back those blue check marks for free. It will be given to 'influencers' that said they will never pay to use twitter.

It is for accounts with 2,500 verified subscriber followers that will get Premium features for free. And accounts with more then 5,000 will get Premium+ free.

Well paypal came first:

https://www.britannica.com/topic/PayPal

well to be fair the man got a fair share of his fame from founding spacex which kind of helps advance space exploration so I give him that, but some people also don't know that tesla actually is just a company that elon invested maybe due to sheer luck or he's a great salesman that he could make tesla booming when later he takes over as a CEO, and there are plenty of companies that he founded as well so I got it when people are calling him the real life tony stark but I do kinda agree with you that people in this case often times are over glorifying him, his twitter definitely a disaster of an investment where the company valuation tanks right after his take over right now just become a den of scams and phishing, but i think he also has that ability to gather the masses into his favour as seen by many of his cases that I followed he seem to be really good at making people picking on his side though not all people get easily swayed but he could get some symphathy easily maybe because he's already being labeled as the real iron man helps him in that regard though i suppose.

I really hope so many will wake up and see Elon for who he really is.  I cringe when people call him the real life Tony Stark (Iron Man).  The guys never made a hamburger, let alone a car or a rocket or a payment system..not shit.  Is he incredibly good at being a salesmen..one the all time greatest..but I think his ego talked him in to buying twitter, which was not a good investment, the place is still an utter cesspool of bullshit, hatred, racism, bigotry etc etc.  He is not the right guy to run that company. I just do not get the appeal in the man one tiny bit.

Well. I must admit that is something I did not expect to happen this fast. It seems Elon is actually serious about turning Twitter/X into some multifunctional application, time will tell whether he will be able to push forward to it and make it popular.
I believe this could positively impact content creators in Twitter/X. I have met many artists and illustrators which have had to suffer with PayPal for literal years and bow down to the stupid fees and Terms of service which are decided by that company, this could be a chance for those artist to easily profit off their skills and even get tips directly from their patrons and followers in Twitter/X.

I doubt Elon will include Dogecoin and Bitcoin in this payment system, at least not in the short term, he is likely to focus in Fiat. Regardless of the variety of assets in this incoming wallet, hopefully people will be careful enough not to fall for massive scams. This social media already has too many scammers roaming around and trying to steal either ones personal credentials or private keys.

Well now Twitter does have money transmitter license in 22 US states. Those states are Iowa, Ohio, Utah, Florida, Kansas, Oregon, Virginia, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, Missouri, Michigan, Wyoming, Arkansas, Maryland, Nebraska, Mississippi, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, and New Hampshire.

I also do think this is 'bullish' for investors that hodl Doge coins. Elon Musk did say he thinks X Payments will be live in middle 2024..

I'm not sure if I'm the only person that has seen a trend in Twitter as of recent. When a Twitter handler with 100k followers and above or even more than a million followers tweet, they get these impressions and lots of engagement but I have notice an abuse going on because of Twitter revenue share with people that monetize their profile to earn weekly part of Twitter revenue.

What Twitter small accounts those is that they go under these huge account follower tweets and drop an unrelated comments on their post so that they can farm engagement from the tweets and get some thousands of likes. What they post is always unrelated to the original posts and tweets and I'm sick and tired of these guys, you can't even enjoy the conversations of comments again because of the spams and are busy farming engagements for Twitter bi-weekly payment and yet Elon hasn't not done anything yet about this.

Its none of our business on how Elon would really be doing into his own business. He had bought the company then he had the full rights on what he should gonna do and this is something thats out of our business.
Do anything wrong with Twitter? Yes due to some changes then there would really be those bashes and criticisms but people would really be having no choice and still that making use of this platform.
Come to think that Elon did add that check mark but still there are tons of people/org etc.. that did really willing to pay up and this do shows that people must adapt on whats available.
Thats how business should really be handled on which it would really be that subject to changes and if people do find these changes to be non relevant or something doesnt have sense then
they would simply skip out and look for another place but we arent seeing this anytime soon with X.

Every business owners have the right to make any decisions to improve his or her business without seeking advise from people and, what Elon musk did to sacked his employees, I believe he have a reason for that which is best known to him because he will not be seating down and watching his business he used huge amount of money to established collapse.

I know that Elon musk is a talented investor that always pursuit what will bring profits at the end of the business like the way he purchased Twitter some years ago and developed it to attract more customers, you can see that the population of people using Twitter has increased higher.

Well there is some big news that will happen this week for twitter. Elon Musk did take an other shot at OpenAi and did say this week xAI will open source Grok.
That is after he said some bad things about OpenAi.And the lawsuit that he did file against them.

My personal opinion is that Elon Musk made a mistake changing Twitter's name to X. The new name sounds suspicious and seems constantly linked to something shady (if you know what I mean). It's simply a matter of personal taste.

However, I do think the platform's features have improved, especially the premium options. The ability to edit posts, write longer posts, upload longer videos, create communities, and even get verified (blue checkmark) offer significant benefits.

Additionally, if I'm not mistaken, Elon Musk plans to launch an X payment system this year. Overall, I view these changes as improvements.

That feature was only recently developed, and while it's unacceptable, I think when they discover the problem, they'll fix it soon. In addition, X is developing many other features and utilities. It seems like Elon is turning X into a multi-purpose tool, not just a regular twitter social network.

What's more interesting is that 1 year ago, when he bought X and changed his name, many people criticized, laughed and thought he was sabotaging this social network. But then, the user base is still growing, X is growing more and more features are being introduced.

Elon Musk simply surprises with his statements on the X network in support of Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine.
He recently said that Ukraine will lose the war in any case, so it supposedly must conclude a “peace agreement” with Russia. According to him, this should have been done a year ago, but now thousands of children “died for nothing.” But he does not understand at all that having captured Ukraine, he will continue to destroy Ukrainians in various ways, and will also continue to seize neighboring states.

In addition, the billionaire argued that “in the eastern regions of Ukraine, the majority of the population gives preference to Russia.” The founder of Tesla and SpaceX explained that in this way it is necessary to support the will of people “who constantly live in conflict.”
Moreover, he voiced an unexpected formula for “peace” between Ukraine and Russia. In particular, he proposed holding another “referendum” and “recognizing Crimea as Russian.”
Back in October 2023, Elon Musk published a meme about Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky. In the note, he ridicules the fact that Ukraine needs financial assistance in the fight against Russian aggression.

Elon Musk even went so far as to say on the social network X that he does not see the point of the existence of the North Atlantic Alliance. In response to this, the President of Latvia, Edgars Rinkevics, noted on the X network that NATO does not plan to cease to exist, and the reason why NATO was founded, exists and will exist is Russia and other enemies of the free world.

Of course, Musk has done a lot in various fields as a businessman, including in the field of near space exploration, but it seems that he does not understand politics at all and behaves like a boy.
