Topic: What did elon do wrong in Twitter - page 3. (Read 2307 times)

In case some of you did not know: yesterday I learnt Twitter/X now allows people to call one another thanks to a new functionality in the direct messages, basically now Twitter/X allows people to use it to have voice and video conversations, that would be a good news for people who like to use Twitter/X. However, It has been discovered that those who participate in calls hostws on Twitter/X, get their IP addresses exposed to the rest of the participants of the call.
At first, I did not believe it was true, but it seems to be the case.

Honestly, I don't know how the team of Elon Musk would allow such thing to past through their quality control or their quality of code, in the case of being as bad as people says I would recommend all of you who use this social media to disable the option to receive calls in your private messages, otherwise, your IP address could become of public knowledge as soon as people decided to call you and you pick up the call.

Anyways, you all do your own research. 

You can never understand, he is human not a god, and you in your stage can't compare yourself to elon musk, most times all what he did or is about to do will never make sense in the face of people like us until later, so don't judge what you don't understand.

What I don't like about Elon musk presently, is the upgrades that Twitter needs to reduce scammers and account hijackers, Twitter is the right social media for all crypto related projects but now it looks like a complete joke, it's better not to have an account on Twitter and be safe from crypto scammers, there is no way a newbie will be safe using twitter, the dangers on twitter is so alarming.

---

Apart from this I don't have any issue with Elon musk but it seems he don't care, it's left for new beginners to be careful with Twitter, that place is no safe for any beginners at all, ordinary tweets have dangerous links, and impersonators are so many.

Elon Musk now is suing OpenAI and the CEO named Sam Altman. He is suing them for breaching a contract cause they are not using the mission of the company.
It is to help benefit humanity. And not to make profit like they are doing.

Is there really a con to using blue tick? I mean to the person who owns the blue tick. I don’t think there is. He’s has actually been doing pretty well on the platform. I saw a recent tweet where he was showing how to make audio and video calls on 𝕏 and that’s great. But people are complaining about bots and I see it too. I hope that he remembers that this is one of the things he also complained about and finds a stop to it.

He is a genuine business executive and always does everything he takes over because it is done with very good planning, as was the case with Twitter, which started with changing the logo and from unpaid to paid. Even though the blue tick has its pros and cons, in the end it can go well and everyone cannot avoid business being carried out and included in area X now. I think it's true, he always innovate continuously with new features attached to X so that everything can have an impact on users and, of course, for their business. Many have tried to compete with X, but until now it is difficult to compete. X has become a trend in itself.

I think he can capitalize on the idea about having an approval recently with the Bitcoin ETF spot, he can lean on that matter if there are questions like that about those transactions related to possible illegal trades.

But you're right that it's gonna be a big matter but he's Elon Musk. He's influential, got money, got companies that do serve the country itself that's adding massive contribution to their economy so, he's for sure going to be given that favor as much as he want.

Anyway, we'll see if that's going to be done as that's likely the rumor.

If Elon Musk is indeed planing to carry out some implementations for processing payments through Twitter/X, then he is very likely not to include Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies on it, because it would require to be watched by regulators and have more licences to operate in the most important markets of the world, like the United States and the European Union. In the case he even wanted to make a built-in exchange, then it would be worse for him, since authorities would say he is facilitating money laundering, helping criminals and cartels to get their money into the system thanks to Twitter/X, not even mentioned the additional paperwork and KYC which would be require for Musk to do all those things.
Telegram is the kind of applications where scammers lurk around seeking for victims, however, Twitter does not stay far behind and adding payment options to it will encourage scammers to steal and social engineer all the money as possible off the hand of the people of Twitter/x.

As far as I am aware, the only measure taken by Musk which have been publicly applauded by the average user of the social media was dropping the support for the NFTs completely.

I'll start to use it once he's able to integrate X with crypto payment and have an exchange there. That's what I am waiting for it because it was like given as a rumor that he's going to make it as a universal or powerful app.

But I think that him and his team are working on it silently. Well, he's literally not working for it but giving ideas and just checks from time to time. You know, the typical work of CEO and then his workers are the ones being pushed to deadlines and being pressured to hit them on time.

Honestly, Meta has that metapay or some payment processor already rolling in Brazil cmiiw. So, he's got to do that asap.

Well now Elon Musk is arguing with the new Community Notes on twitter. it did come after Elon Musk made a tweet about how he does not like Windows 11.
He did say he did not want to make a Microsoft account. But his computer would not let him use it if he did not make the account. https://mashable.com/article/elon-musk-arguing-community-notes

names are subject to tastes.
Can't make everyone happy can yer? 

I don’t know. Couldn’t he have picked a more suitable name for the social media app instead of just going with X? Choosing between the name Twitter and X, I would go with Twitter over and over again.
As for asking for money to buy the app, he didn’t personally ask me lol. But it’s obvious he’s trying to recoup some money from users following the verification mark that can now be bought by anyone having $8.

And yea, a lot of people are now earning from the app. We’ve got so called “independent journalists” going about peddling misinformation and outright lies so they could also cash in. These folks don’t care about pushing the truth. Rage baiting tweets and lies are what would bring in the views and clicks which in turn,  equates money.

He is at least trying to do something new, dont spend this much money if you dont have some ideas to put forth and a general plan to methodically improve the product.    The biggest thing to note is he did try to sue his way out of the purchase in some regrets so this thread is well founded, Elon himself saw some mistake in the site and the price he paid and its hard to argue with that.  Going forward I think he is doing something, success or not that will take years to properly conclude beyond just quick fire criticism which is there always no matter what really.



I dont really find this kind of thing anywhere else, an advert can pay to be there but the users themselves can call out its failures right there on the advert.   That alone must scare the advertisers for an idea that could propagate elsewhere, its their worst nightmare possibly.  Imagine Coke advertising and people pointing out just how much sugar is in that product sometimes and other drawbacks to plenty other products, they are right to be very critical of something they are afraid of no doubt.

For contrast YouTube again allows broadcast of adverts, you pay a fee and its sent out.  Those adverts can be criminal not just misleading but actively attacking their user base in a criminal way but its all automated and promoted without question.  The method being accounts that harvest users for funds then disappear afterwards, faking legitimacy in a variety of ways.  Nothing clever, similar stuff we get in emails every day and Gmail does attempt to filter this but YouTube currently is doing the opposite at times.  If I was going to be critical of YouTube or X in this regard, its clear Google is failing massively at times.  Of course you can report, there's a process to review suspect activity and it can take days to occur which is a schedule suiting criminals just fine.

Actually I feared it could come crumbling down but I gotta say the dude is really good at business. 𝕏 (twitter) now has a lot more traffic than it used to. That feature he brought in which people can make money from the revenue generated in their tweets really pull attention. He’s really trying with what I’ve seen so far and I’m not sure any platform will ever be able to get where 𝕏 is today.

Its very nice ideas from Elon Musk how to make new branding started from twitter become X and right now he has ideas created many competitor such as Xmail then any potential with Xpayments. Actually Elon Musk looking advantage by acquisition twitter and become his advertising way in the future for promoting his new brand or product.
Elon Musk not stop in twitter platform only, he has many ideas in the future how to develop his product and take advantage from twitter become advertising way without spent much money more advertising his product on other platform social media.

If xmail really true launch to public I believe many people will try to see how advantage and secure with xmail than gmail have been operation before, I can't wait with Elon Musk brilliant ideas in the next time which one platform social media will acquisition after twiiter?

First of all, it was mismanagement.

Elon Musk acquired Twitter for $44 billion and he had no concrete plan on how to execute his plans on making it a global platform. In fact, he used this platform solely to address his issues and problems which made it somehow political rather than a platform for free spech.

Second, it was poor planning.

In addition to what I have mentioned above, Elon Musk literally eliminated like half of the executives and employees of Twitter who mostly worked there for years. With such poor planning, he lost majority of its users on the first month and the trust that people had with Twitter was gone. He focused too much on projecting his own plans on Twitter that it somehow self-destruct when it became a political platform rather than a social one.

Lastly, the re-branding.

Sure, Elon Musk wanted to re-brand Twitter and named it to "X" but it just destroyed the image further. People mostly know Twitter as Twitter; in fact we even call it Twitter despite it being re-branded to X already. With its name already established, it somehow ruined further its reputation that led to its downfall continuously even as we speak currently.

Elon lives in a Bubble, payments strictly over the US,
You don't own an account or happen to own a LLC based in the US you're out.

To me Elon is doing quite well for Twitter, its his company why should you interfere, I don't remember him asking money from you to buy Twitter so what he does with it its his business, and I don't see any fault in what he has done so far, reducing the cost wasted on workers, branding Twitter with a better name X, he has even added more features, I even head some persons are earning off X right now.

I have seen something about it, besides Xmail there is talk about Xpayments. Elon aims high. I think he is doing great, somewhere I saw that they are recording a record number of visitors and that number is constantly increasing compared to some other social networks. Elon emphasizes freedom of speech so much and it seems to attract a lot of people...

Well, I think that many people will move from Gmail to Xmail, somehow it seems to me that some people are fed up with Google and their shady business. Maybe I am wrong about that, in any case, I think that Xmail will be strong competition.

Well I hope we are all ready for the new email that Elon Musk is doing. Now there is going to be Xmail to compete with google Gmail.

What this thread tells us is that most people here do not have the same thinking process as the accused.
No one here has held 190+ Billion $ worth of shares/values and else.
People in that dimension do not fear losing the status of the richest person on earth.
They couldn't care less if their fortune loses 50% one month as the chances are quite high to recover a month later.
