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 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.
Not really seeing those changes that much but rather it is really just been ran off with a new management and having a new name and some alterations in functions but in overall it is really just the same.There might

be users who had really that decided on leaving the platform but for sure there are those new sign ups and as long it would be continue to up and running then it would really be that typical on the business must go on.
Not really that totally shocking if people or the community around would really be having those negative words or criticisms basing up on how Elon did make such decision on how to ran off that former platform Twitter now called "X" which its none of our business on how he would really be doing it because its his company then he do have that full rights and decisions basing up on what he do have in mind.

There's no such thing about being wrong since its your business and you do completely own it, which its understandable that if it do needs some tweaking then do it and we know
that Elon is unpredictable when it comes to sudden changes which it isnt really that shocking anymore.

I can't say for sure whether Elon Musk got it wrong or right.  But his sudden purchase of Twitter and appointment of himself as CEO was quite surprising.  Also my opinion on staff changes is that no job is permanent for anyone, it keeps changing.Also we can predict that the next generation will be mostly dominated by bots and robots.  I don't know exactly. There must be some reason behind it. Maybe Twitter is not what it used to be and it's boring because of that or some other reason.
I think Elon wants twitter to be a place for Open AI to work, especially to deal with rampant bots. Regarding his appointment as CEO and dismissal of employees, in a company there must be a culture that is formed, and when that culture does not match the vision and mission of the owner or owner then maintaining it can actually be a problem for the company's future.

Ordinary people like us will definitely say: this is crazy, even though the reason is like that. However, to Elon Musk: oh, I'm not done yet. For me, a strategy like this is a common thing that makes us react more, be confused, mysterious, and which is definitely an advantage, it's just that humans have different points of view.

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.

Elon didn't buy Twitter because it was a sensible and strategic business acquisition. Ego bought twitter because he is an egomaniac that used it to spout numerous conspiracy theories and his own crazed brand of dissociated billionaire trash. He think's he holds revolutionary ideas, but in reality he has been surrounded by yes men for so long that he no longer has any boundaries and has built up a distorted view of how he thinks the world should operate, mainly based around authoritarian leader style behavior. He simply wants to control the conversations on his most popular podium for spreading his diseased messages, and the only way he has complete freedom to do that is by owning the platform. It's great in a way because he threw away tens of billions worth of his wealth in the process of buying it.

I don't think there's anything wrong, what is certain is that someone like Elon doesn't have a plan, which is almost impossible. Even though the planning is strange, creative people and geniuses are different.
Geniuses definitely survive first. There are 2 choices:
1. If he fails he learns and improves
2. If he succeeds, he gets his next level goals
When you are afraid of failure, success will become a dream.

So in my opinion, firing almost all employees, even firing the CEO, was not a mistake or making a hasty decision, it was done because we had taken into account what would happen in the future.

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.

At first, he was just using this platform to pump some cryptocurrencies as you mentioned but then he also did some subtle things to increase the value of the company's stocks. Because he shared such posts about the prices of both cryptocurrencies and stocks many people started to follow him and his popularity continued to increase day by day. Of course, the only reason he bought this platform was not that he was the richest person in the world but having strong capital was a great advantage for him to be able to buy a Twitter. Being the sole shareholder of the Twitter platform was one of the factors that contributed the most to his ability to make changes as he wanted on his own today.

If we look at today's usage platform X with its new name has become a platform where many news are shared instantly and it's gaining more users every day. As you mentioned, this will of course make a great contribution to the announcement of very important news and similar content here in the future.

In summary, Twitter, formerly known as X, has begun to transform into a multi-use platform rather than a social media platform.

Especially in the last two years, Elon has made great manipulations in financial markets using Twitter and has increased his popularity considerably. He bought Twitter because he is the richest person in the world and earns more money while increasing his popularity through this social media. Although there has been no good progress for Twitter after this purchase process it has been managing the platform with the decisions it has been making for a long time.

I haven't seen any news about him wanting to sell Twitter and I think this claim is unfounded because it is just a rumor with no source. If there is a news source that you think is particularly reliable about this situation I would like you to share it with us.

This is evidence that successful individuals must continue experimenting and researching to ensure their products remain competitive and proven. You might perceive Elon Musk's recent setbacks as a decline in revenue, but on the flip side, there's an argument that if he develops a robotics-based project, he could potentially become a pioneer who disrupts the international career landscape.

Failure serves as fuel on the path to success, and as long as Elon Musk's finances remain stable, he will persist with ideas that are even ahead of our time.

I'm more intrigued by what novel creations a genius might conjure using Twitter as their experimental canvas. Could it possibly yield something more valuable than Twitter itself?

as we put it, the end justifies the means. we don't know yet the future impact of what he is doing right now, but for sure, he has plans. of course, not to be bankrupt as he is a businessman. we may not understand his route today, but may be in the near future we will see its importance.
i don't think he will be choosing path that will destruct his investments. and if nothing else, his money is on the line, so whatever he decides to do, he will be the one who will suffer or reap the rewards.
Exactly, it's as simple as that. Elon Musk is a businessman, billionaire or not, he will not be doing something that will cause him to lose profit. He is a well-known businessman which should be one thing we need to keep in mind despite a number of confusing and questionable decisions he had made when he bought Twitter (now X). Elon Musk has a plan but we have yet to know and understand what it is, and we honestly don't need to (at least in his case) as we are not a part of it. We have to remember that we are just outsiders in his world, we just so happen to know what is shown to the public regarding him, his investments, and some of his decisions.

A lot. As many people have already mentioned, Elon Musk was kind of forced into buying twitter, he initially joked about it, which the whole executive board of twitter, dying as they know the platform is, called him out upon and made him buy the site.

Twitter is already dying even before Elon came in, he just made it more apparent and even forced people into paying for a dying and bleeding platform just so he can cut back on his losses. Twitter blue that was supposed to not even be paid and only exclusive to people who are recognized worldwide suddenly became easily accessible leading to chaos and panic ensuing, a couple of other shenanigans like actually changing Twitter to X all because of a shtick he couldn't let go ever since his early days at paypal, and a lot more that I just can't list cause it's going to take us a whole day to finish.

Elon Musk may not have killed Twitter, but he's going to be the catalyst to its end. There's just no better alternative to it as of this moment cause Threads is basically useless and Mastodon is more on the crypto side of the spectrum which is not necessarily something that sits well with all people, but soon as one comes up it's going to be over for the blue bird or in this case, the black X.

I am in no position to judge someone like Elon Musk, because since the day I was born I've never build anything that's useful for the masses, I always laugh at people who judge those who are 1000 levels above them, like what the hell?

It's too early to call someone like him (Elon) a dumb person because people like him always have their plans and goals, while worrying about if they do something wrong or right why not worry about ourselves?

It's only those who have done something for the world can talk about Elon Musk, you can't be a empty barrel and come out in the open saying that this man ruined Twitter or something, line what the hell did you know anyway?
Though I totally agree with your opinion that someone who hasn't done anything in life shouldn't criticize others, I believe everyone has the right to voice their opinions when they see something happening, and having a discussion about what might have gone wrong isn't really a very bad thing. He is a billionaire, a very successful businessman who has earned his worth all by himself which makes him a self-made billionaire that is on top right now.

However, who says that billionaires don't make mistakes or make wrong decisions? They do, they are normal human beings just like us, so if they make a mistake and people discuss it, I don't really think there is anything wrong with that as long as people aren't saying anything immoral.
Of course billionaires can make mistakes, it can even be argued that it is some of those mistakes that leads them to their path of success. It is also normal for people to discuss and critically analyze their actions and decisions. However, what is not right and normal is acting as if these billionaires are stupid and we are better than them just because they made a questionable decision or did something that does not fall with our beliefs or understandings. Constructive criticism is normal, especially for public figures like Elon Musk, but the public should understand that Musk is a person too and isn't here to pleased us all.

Billionaires are also human and making mistakes is inevitable. Yes, we can discuss with each other and voice our opinions, but don't look down on them, gloat or consider them stupid if their plans don't work out. I completely agree with what Crypt0Gore said, we can't even take care of our lives and our loved ones so we have no right to criticize Elon or anyone else who has a life better than us.

Many people are laughing at Elon for buying Twitter and causing it to decline...but they should look at themselves and see what they have better than him and what they have done. Or just people who don't have a stable income and like to criticize others.

This is a forum and we have the right to discuss and share all issues, but we need to know who we are, where we stand and what we have. Don't pretend to be smarter than others when our income and life are not equal to anyone else's. There are many humble people but it's hard to understand how there are so many people who have nothing but are so arrogant. This world is so colorful  Cheesy Cheesy.

It hasnt fallen yet, to turn a ship around you must first come to full stop.  Its quite possible in 'fixing' any apparent flaws in the business it might be that he has to risk this appearance of failure at least.  I think its been said the platform continues to gain users, its only the doubts of advertisers that promotes the idea he has failed in some way.
As long as there are still many users for the Twitter platform, the social media platform will continue to run and I also agree with you on this because when a platform has not stopped operating and there are still many users who enjoy using it, it means that Elon Musk still cannot be said to have failed in this matter. Even though advertisers say otherwise because they also want to make it easier to stick ads in order to be able to make profits through the platform.
And actually I feel that X(Twitter) will be even more in demand when the platform fully supports cross-border money transfers. Because of Elon's plan on X (Twitter) I think it's a pretty big plan. So it would be natural for him to make some seemingly odd decisions after he became the owner of Twitter. And X (Twitter) is increasingly receiving Remittance Licenses. for example, X (Twitter) recently received a money transmitter license for payment services in Mississippi. That's what I read from WatcherGuru.

If you actually use Twitter/X now and you are one of the million simple users of the platform who just likes to tweet and stay updated regarding news and whatnot, you will not feel the changes Elon applied (aside from the UI being darker and the name).

See, what people don't see is X is still in the midst of changes and a lot of updates have yet to be settled. Elon Musk bought Twitter for a reason and to do something with it, we all just need to see and wait.
I have no idea why anyone in their right mind would think that X sounds okay when Twitter is the perfect name for it. He gave his kid an absurd name which goes to show that he isn't great at naming stuff.

Also, billionaires like Musk don't really need reasons to buy anything in this world. Think!

But he does have a reason, he stated it before (https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/why-elon-musk-bought-twitter). You see Elon isn't just a random Billionaire, he's a businessman who invests and buys things for a reason. A successful businessman like him has plans, they don't just randomly buy stuff because they are rich, and that's what separates rich from successful. If Elon Musk doesn't have a reason to buy Twitter he wouldn't put much effort into rebranding it and applying changes to it, he can just let it be and sit there knowing the world knows he owns it. You all need to realize that we are talking about a businessman here, who despite already being a billionaire, still wants to earn more. As much as I disagree some of Elon Musk's decisions I always keep in mind that he's a well-known successful businessman and he knows things we don't know, like for example: his plans.

It's only those who have done something for the world can talk about Elon Musk, you can't be a empty barrel and come out in the open saying that this man ruined Twitter or something, line what the hell did you know anyway?


People who frequently utilize the application could also have opinions about how good or bad the app has gotten. You don’t need create something useful for the public or to solve the problems of the world to have opinions of how something should be run.
For you, Elon may have done something good for the world, it should be noted that his actions are first in his best interests. He’s a business man after all and would obviously want to profit from any venture.
Even empty barrels have the freedom to express their views.
Something we need to pay attention to is that Elon made a breakthrough that most people see as being very brave to take risks, but I think it is a way to make a profit in the future, because he is a businessman, and that is something that sometimes our minds can't think about. like what he did, in fact he could become one of the richest people in the world, it shows that the basis of his thinking has been recognized, we can only predict and wait for what he does to bear fruit later.
