I could forgive Elon Musk for almost anything he was doing with Twitter but changing its name and logo? That I can't forgive. I mean that hideous X instead of the iconic cute little bird!

well he shell out billions already to acquire the platform, let man do whatever he wanna do after all it seems he has some ulterior motive of transforming X as a platform into some super app that he said gonna replace traditional banking, well elon musk said it himself.
but I believe that after seeing twitter going down in valuation so much as well as losing some advertiser in the platform then it apparent that elon want to turn around the table trying to implement some new thing transforming twitter from just a mere social media into something thats more valuable overall even making it digital banking app in the future. its kinda apparent that he just couldn't let his billions down the drain.

At present they have both domains referring to the platform but Twitter is just a better name. Literally they created a new verb, how many companies can say they altered the global lexicon with a new word which is also their brand name; that was real value its hard to argue he didnt destroy part of that value with being X instead. However X also is unique and true to the extreme brief meta of twitter as it started out. Theres only a few one letter domains allowed, most of the alphabet is banned but this and only a couple others pre date that rule so is some value. Personally I would have kept that bird, agree tbh

It's also interesting, "X" is a simple and mysterious symbol, so the name and image are not too much of a problem, we all see Elon's very unpredictable personality, he likes to experiment a lot. and thinking is always unpredictable.

Since X has policies that I think are quite harsh on users who have only been spamming before, it has helped somewhat bring about a cleaner environment in space. I remember when X paid for my area with subscribers to share revenue with the platform, most of the news was sweet and positive, what a marketing process, and indirectly create jobs. But there are still many problems that I feel like the fraud problem cannot be completely solved, but I can't blame Elon because he still has too much work to do, I also see some moves that he is making starting to get interested in crypto

Well I do think the best thing we can Elon Musk is doing. The new community notes makes it for people to be lesser chance of being scammed.
Some of those community notes have been very helpful for me. Because sometimes we do no know if what we are reading is real or not.

Twitter usage is really going down I think the app is more boring . What do you think we all know elon this might be another business Strategy right Undecided

I think that you're wrong about twitter being boring.

The thing is that social media general is gradually becoming boring because with the so many economic challenge that is hitting the world globally, people don't really give a dime on what's really going on in that space, everyone is seriously about their business and only comes online once in a while to to clear off their head.

Even with this, twitter is still very active and functional, nothing on twoter is basically posted by her staff, twitter users are the ones responsible for how active or boring it is and if you think that twitter is becoming boring and you are concerned about it, maybe you should post more in it so it wouldn't be boring.

Twitter or currently X is one of the most used platforms in terms of the crypto world ad new knows his one of the fans of having an nft and crypto market with his favourite meme coins like dodge coin, and he knows that reason why if makes an offer to the badge to the people that they don't need to gain a lot of followers to have this instead they can now buy this, and for the newly created users i know there's a fee right now even though you see this as small amount only once there's a lot of people bought this still gained profit after he bought Twitter, but in other side X is also house of tons of scammers and if they want to increase the reputation as real account they can now just paid easily which the users must need to make sure and verify if they want to make a transaction with this platform.

This buyout option was meant to be a gamechanger and keep the scammers at bay but it has backfired and the blue tick mark has lost it's significant. Twitter should first try and figure out a way to block all these scammers or increase their algorithms to identify the scammers or something like if a topic or post looks suspicious should be validated, there is a lot which can be done but a lot of efforts should be made by Trust & Safety, Engg & Product team and they got keep doing A/B testing and figure out a sustainable fix.

Sounds easy but its not something that would really be giving out that precision on fighting with those scammers and fraud accounts no matter how they would really be making out that assessment but at least im showing that they are really that more active or really that having that close monitor comparing into that former Twitter management when it comes to those accounts which are basically that being used of scamming
or fooling people. We've seen that there are tons of fake project accounts had been blocked or shut down on which i could say that this is way more better than into those previous
management or simply into its owner. If ever people doesnt really like on whats the current things happening on Twitter now then you arent that forced on making
use of such platform.

Just like on what some members on saying on here that its none of our concern or business on how Elon would really be handling out his own company.Yes, you are free to make critcisms or words on whatever
you do have in mind, it would really be just that still depending on you whether you would really be agreeing or going against their decision, this is how business works on which there
would really be changes which it might give that kind of interest or would totally going against it.

It is natural that when the ownership of a platform changes, its rules and staff will change. Before Elon Musk bought Twitter, the owner of the Twitter platform used to hire experienced HR executives at his discretion, but after Elon Musk bought Twitter for a huge sum of money, he definitely hired better employees than before. Elon Musk feels that the current employees he has hired are more experienced than the previous ones and the current employees will do a better job than the previous ones to increase the popularity of the Twitter platform. Since Elon Musk bought Twitter for a huge amount of money, he must have certain plans for this massive platform, and he is probably moving forward with those plans.
It wouldn't be surprising if there were more new rules on Twitter in the future.

One of Elon Musk's bad decisions was to change the name of Twitter to X. Due to which the Twitter platform has lost many users. But people are slowly starting to accept it now. Elon Musk is a very smart businessman, so he thinks about what he does, although he prefers to take sudden divisions. But he succeeds in most of his decisions. And corrects all his mistakes. So Elon Musk has nothing wrong with Twitter right now

Why does Elon hate Bitcoin? It's a new moment for me... Today I saw some news about Twitter becoming a payment app as well, and that Elon will consider Bitcoin as well.

I don't cheer up for Elon or Twitter here, I don't have any interest in that, but what he is doing is a bit crazy and until now nobody could predict his next moves. I guess we need to give him credit for being "unpredictable", and in a "money-making game" that is a good thing. He is making more money and he keeps his spot as one of the richest persons in the world. So his moves count, one way or another.

In my opinion Elon has made Twitter (X) better. He has returned free speech, somewhat. You are less likely to get banned or silenced for having views that aren’t left wing & woke. I enjoy the platform more since he has taken over. Also the guy is one of the smartest people in the world. He will turn Twitter (X) into a money making machine.

Yes that's the biggest thing that Elon have done. There were a lot of banned accounts during the pandemic time that they reactivated. The timing of these changes is also good for the upcoming US election since mass reporting for the sole purpose of silencing the ops isn't going to work.

To have a free speech might be better but there are still plenty of new things that I dislike, such as there are now annoying ads.

Install ublock extension and open X there. It does a good job in blocking ads.

Money making machine? It would really be just that normal that he would really be definitely be trying to make things cope up when it comes to revenue.Yes, it did make
some criticism on that part specially on that blue and gold checkmark but it was really that being accepted afterwards. The thing i do like on such change on the time that he had owned Twitter
is that shit project profiles are easily that been banned or restricted or cant be accessed on which it is really that very helpful into those people who are really that a fan on investing on shitcoins
on which it did really turns out that this one is really that a good way or method on making yourself that being safety with those frauds.

Elon did wrong to Twitter? Its none of our business on what are the things that he would be doing into his own company. Its his and no matter what the things that he would really be
planning to integrate then its up to him. Its his company and he would really be that held responsible on the things that could happen along the way
so it would really be just that basing or depending on up.

Elon Musk has spent so much to buy Twitter, he must try to make profit from it. He initially adopted a layoff strategy for the employer after buying all of Twitter's shares to cut costs, but the general public didn't take it positively. There are other things that he realized and tried to sell shares. He took various decisions including changes in various features of Twitter which reduced the popularity of Twitter. Moreover, he also had a plan to take money from the users, but when he realized that it would not be good for his business, he backed out of those plans. But currently he is progressing positively I think he will have no more problems now.

he also hates BTC and then he supports meme coin over it.

I doubt he hates it.
Hardly anyone of the mass payment like stripe is taking BTC. Its too slow and in the time you pass it on you could be 2% up or down.
Its not practical, doge on the other hand does not fluctuate that much.

Doge has about 1% of the users as BTC (metric pulled straight outta my ass) so it doesn't make sense for Stripe to adopt it either. Why support payment methods that most people don't even use?

Here is a list of payment methods that are NOT accepted by most gateways:

And wire transfers are not on this list but they are not accepted either. Even Paypal is not accepted in many places despite its size. And that's not to say anything about Venmo, CashApp, Zelle, etc.

Coulda fooled me.

I had high hopes when I heard Musk was seriously going after Twitter, since I couldn't stand the platform and its left-leaning, censorship-heavy ways. But it turned out that he really had no fucking clue what he was doing, didn't have a plan, and once the purchase of the company was made, he seemed to step back and grin gleefully at the pile of wreckage he'd just created. So instead of making Twitter a better social media site, he just paid a lot of money to take a giant dump on it.

This is what you get when you have too much money and the nature of a troll. Ugh.

Maybe Elon has plans and we all know he is an ambitious guy he is not contented with just one idea and that guy is not afraid of failure so I think he is preparing for something that is why he did that to X formerly "Twitter". No one knows his plans really, do you?

hes quite literally stated that he's planning to use his platform twitter which now named X to start out a super app for financial that could replace bank but we don't know how serious he is when he's saying this thing.
but we all know that maybe if his X is failing it could be his other resort to revive the platform again so to not waste his previous billions spending for the platform itself.
its kinda obvious that with past experience of building paypal and also right now with him having twitter, he truly intends to make something sort of digital banking that directly integrated with social media since thats what most people are using anyway.

Elon is a control freak, but one that has had a few lucky breaks when it came to business. He made a lot of money from his stake in Paypal, which allowed him to buy many talented people and fund different ideas. If he wasn't such an arrogant and stuck up asshole, he might be a role model for how to be a billionaire with some of the pioneering companies he has backed. However he definitely has an ego problem and isn't anywhere near as smart as he thinks. He also doesn't like when people question him, so when he decided to make Twitter his soapbox and was rich enough to buy it, it meant that nobody could then talk badly about him over there. However he never had a plan beyond that and spent way over the odds to buy it.
