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.

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.

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. There are already rumours he will implement a peer to peer payment system on the app later in 2024.

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. And then there are now premium/paid features. Maybe you can say that I'm just a poor boy because I can't afford them. I actually can but I'm no way of paying for something that I can use freely on other social media sites.

You are right that he is turning Twitter into a money-making machine, but does that sound great to you? How much is the cut you will get from their sales? Elon is one of the smartest but sometimes he is also dumb. Apart from the Twitter side, and others, he also hates BTC and then he supports meme coin over it.

Well we can say this Elon Musk did alot wrong with Twitter. He has lost so much money with it. And there is advertisers who do not want to advertise anymore on Twitter.

Some advertisers seem to have lost faith over twitter or elon musk but what is most important is that users of twitter are still increasing by second so i do not think he is in deep trouble with twitter at least for now

I do think he has implemented some features that are really good and useful i hope he brings back the close friends feature and i hope he gets to develop it even further

And now it got a money transfer license in Arkansas. So Elon Musk is losing money right now. And we have to think that he has some plans in the future.

Advertiser like disney he can do without it. There are thousand of companies wishing to advertise on X.
Most here use the BBC tenor against Elon handling of twitter, its his by christ sake, he can run it in the ground.
Not more than 20 to 30% is actually his money,

https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/how-will-elon-musk-pay-twitter-2022-10-07/

I bet he used that deal also to have some cash for himself. Most of the so called wealthy have mostly values in shares and holdings.

The assumption is Elon did something wrong when its more easily observed he did something different and thats all you have to do to cause trouble. He thinks its worth it but also true is its likely he overpaid for what was there including the fake accounts and so on, he paid for all that; its not really the case that the mistake was perfection existed beforehand and now its been ruined. The comments will vary by the userbase which is diverse, free users to many professionals I know rely on twitter for fast communications, trading for example but probably a few industries.
I think Elon's aim is to retain the paying base and the free users will either follow or drift elsewhere but arent his main concern especially. The main reason not to assume failure is the time frame is too brief, most of it is the deflation of the exaggeration to the worth of twitter which is not the first instance I've seen that. HP is suing the owner of their purchase to the point he may be jailed for false accounting, tech is highly variable to say the least.

Maybe the only thing I'm really not in favor of is that there was a subscription every month for everyone who uses his Twitter apps; I just don't know if it really worked. Because when I heard about this, I didn't really use Twitter anymore. Did the monthly subscription really continue? We also have KYC; is it mandatory?

I haven't used Twitter apps for over a year now. What I do is peek every now and then without opening an account; I just find out what's on the Twitter apps.

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?

Those who are leaving here answers with what Elon did wrong to Twitter, you should specify that this actions were made only in short period, but in long term period we cant predict the future of Twitter. The fact that market value of companies is lower than it was when he has bought it, does not show that he did something wrong. For example we have cryptocurrency whos prices went down for 50-90% from ATH in 2021. We did not call all those projects as fails, did not we? I would say that there are a lot of questions and misunderstanding towards decisions he has already made after purchase, but it is to early to talk about fall of Twitter.

Wait a minute I used to think online is the next generation if your not going online your toast but elon musk just lost funds in Twitter trying to take it fully online. He sacked almost all the employees ,replaced them with bots and now he is trying to sell it . Don't mistake me I'm not trying to criticise the dude but i don't get why this happened for real his plan was nice trying to reduce cost of work . But what went wrong
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

in my opinion I think he assumed a role he wasn't really prepared for. Although he made lots of changes that led to the significant reduction of active users, but in other to salvage the situation he upgraded the application X to accommodate content creators, paying users with high interactions but that's was a medium to boost the users on the said application, so far this medium hasn't really proved to make any significant difference but its a move in the right direction.

In a direct answer to your question about "what mistakes did Musk make in Twitter?" I can answer you simply: The biggest mistake Musk made after the platform purchase deal was that he appointed himself directly as its CEO. All the decisions that followed were because the owner of the platform imagined himself capable of running it despite his lack of the necessary experience. And if he really intends to sell the platform today, then this may be the wisest decision, confirming his inability to continue management without the necessary experience.

I don't think Elon musk lacks that experience in running the defunct platform twitter as you claim, to me he's running it the best way any other CEO given the privilege would have ran it. It just that there's much competition regarding social media platforms with plenty discussion engagement social platforms here and there. Human love to try new things when they just developed same happened with twitter now X when it first launched so we shouldn't expect it to continually hold an increasing number of active users as before in the face of new emerging competitive social platforms.

Elon Musk is accustomed to leading projects that have no competitors and where the possibility of making mistakes is more likely, but there are always opportunities to rectify since the market is almost devoid of competition. Musk's decision to buy the Twitter platform would not have been the least wise if he had appointed management specialists, because the "social media" market has old competitors who control all the details of the field and it is not easy to keep up with the pace of development it is going through. Nearly a year has passed since the purchase deal was completed, and the platform has declined at all levels, whether revenues or degree of demand.

Twitter was a good and standard social media and it was not used by all classes of people like Facebook. Twitter was mostly used by celebrity businessmen such people. And yet Twitter is considered a good medium for crypto project promotion. So Elon Musk's decision to buy Twitter wasn't a bad one. But I don't think it is very logical to change Twitter's name and logo to X. This decision may have been a wrong decision. Due to this, the popularity on Twitter has decreased a lot. But I don't know what Elon Musk's main purpose is. But since he is a brilliant businessman, he cannot be trusted to make any wrong decisions. Maybe this is also a good and secret strategy of his. Through which he can beat Facebook

As you said, we don't know what his real intentions were when he decided to buy Twitter, so how can we easily assume he's making a mistake with Twitter? We never know what other people think, so how can we judge others so hastily? We all know Twitter is a social network for businessmen and politicians, and the fact that he succeeded in bringing former President Trump back to this social network to prepare for the upcoming election, so that was a mistake or the right decision?

In business, a temporary decrease in sales is normal, we should not rush to judge them as failures when they only lost money for 1 year. I want to know, have any of you ever started any businesses, because people are pretty quick to conclude that Elon and Twitter are failing? I don't have any judgment because I'm just an ordinary person and he is the richest person in the world, all I can do is watch the developments to learn a few things.

Personally, I use Twitter almost every day for many hours, so even if he screwed it up, I unfortunately keep using it. Secondly, the "pay to enjoy" style wasn't there before, even though many people could say that "it's his company and he has the right to charge people if he wants to" it still doesn't change the fact that what was once free, becoming a priced thing will of course anger a lot of people, its just how it is. There are also technological issues, like videos getting stuck, replies not loading, or analytics not working, the latest is they removed repost names as a popup but instead, a new page, who would think that is needed? So there is some stuff, but unfortunately, I still keep using it.

The "pay to enjoy" style as you called it, also known as premium subscription, has benefits other than having the blue check mark to identify your account as verified by the platform. However, I agree with you that there have been a lot of changes in Twitter (now called X) that are questionable and made my formerly lovely time using the platform pretty boring and frustrating at times. I have also been using the social media platform almost every day for hours on end for about 5-6 years now, and I can say that it was never stable anyway. Twitter was full of issues even before Elon Musk bought it, from tweets not loading and troll accounts everywhere that took way too long to get banned, and even updates that they have to take back because of users' negative feedback, Twitter was never a super app or platform, at least not against its other social media competitors. So if you think about it these issues that are coming out of the surface have long been there, they are just more prominent now because of the rebrand and how Elon Musk now owns the platform.

Elon has always been smart when it comes to business. I'm afraid to criticize Elon Musk now. Even though it looks like he suffered big losses because he wanted to replace his employees with bots on Twitter, he actually sold Twitter. I think this is part of the strategy that we don't know about. because what I know is that this person is even able to raise the price of meme coins like Dogecoin to become a big coin. let's wait for the next surprise from Elon Musk.

Well he indeed used Twitter for promoting any coins he want such as Shiba which really manipulated it's price and many people invested at it. Not only due to he is rich that's why he bought Twitter, we all know that Twitter is the most known platform worldwide and it has many users so just a simple Tweet there's a lot of people could get the information. I think he's just slowly progressing for people to not be overwhelm from the big changes of Twitter to becoming as X, cause by just simply changing the logo and it's name there's already a lot of comments about it what more if the entire Twitter. Just wait for it, for sure he's planning again for manipulating something with the use of X or he will announce big news.

He is the owner of this social network and has every right to do with it whatever comes to his mind. Almost all restrictions on any actions have been lifted. Before the purchase there was no such freedom, but now...
For those who like to quickly make money, it is recommended to carefully follow Musk’s publications. At any moment, he will throw out a post about some crypto project and the price will fly up at a rapid speed.
To be honest, I don’t like this kind of activity. There is an opportunity to say goodbye to your money just as quickly. This has already been observed. Let everyone decide for themselves what they want.

As long as you're enjoying using it and you've got networks there, whether he ends up doing something bad or not, you'll still going to use it. Especially for the business accounts there that have been with their brands, nothing will stop them in using it. It was allowed before to use them without even logging in as you can see contents but it looks now they have disabled that feature and you need to be logged in.

Twitter has never been a super app. Writing something in 140 characters and then leaving it has always seemed ridiculous to me. Why would we need a platform just to write short sentences? The most important feature of Twitter was that it had "trending" words. However, this was quickly manipulated and became useless.
It seems strange to me that people still use Twitter. Bots dominate whole app for some time. Elon Musk paid too much for Twitter and I'm sure he regrets it now. These types of applications reach a certain peak and at that time the creator makes good money by selling the application. The buyer becomes the last sucker. Elon is the last sucker here.
