Twitter

[Nanderson]

Musk & Twitter ownership don't seem a good fit. He'll likely ruin it first with kneejerk tinkering and then bankrupt it.

Put yer money where your mouth is...

Turns out he tried to get out of the commitments he made with all the bumming and blowing he did a few months ago, but whatever he signed up to, the then owners of Twitter won in court and he had to honour those obligations.

Allegedly he'll be paying almost $7B per year on interest alone on the loan he took out to buy Twitter.

As I've said before, a snake oil salesman who got lucky on Paypal, but looks like he's fúcked it up.

Greed and ego are a bad combination especially when you've no one around you to tell you to wise the fúck up..

He paid $44b for it. It's doubtful if it is worth $44m.
When you cannot see your own limitations it is amazing where people can get to in life.

That's why I don't understand how something that is hemorrhaging money by all accounts can be worth 44 billion

Surely something as big as twitter wouldn't take a whole pile to turn a round and make profitable?

It will end up like those mobile games that used to come out and be really addictive and generating high traffic, then the owner monetises it by putting ads in it and people just stop playing it

Elon has missed the point of twitter. He wants a "free for all" but if those who put up the interesting content (for me that's politicians, journalists and scientists, sports content etc etc but will vary from person to person) and allows all the shíte of the day on it unabated, then the companies currently advertising on the platform may have rethinks and those who put value content on will move away, not needing the hassle that comes with the lunatics with a free reign.

It's a complete mess anyway and what he thinks the problem is is very far from being the problem. He thinks people should be able to speak uninhibited on it. A lot of people do and stuff like vaccine rhetoric, even more local the likes of that binlid etc say what they like however there are some "causes" that have been muzzled so suddenly it's woke etc. There are quite a few on it who are not muzzled who should be. People who are susceptible to being influenced read all that stuff and hey presto they're influenced.

That said on the flip side I do wonder if the cancel culture stuff originates from twitter. I definitely think it's a big factor but I don't know if he'll be able to stop the "pile ons".

Is advertising revenue that big for Twitter. I think he's trying to get the $8 to finally monetise it.
I do agree that it will become a cesspit.

Nice new slag though, "your Da pays for a blue tick on twitter" Up there with "Your Da sell Avon"

How else did it generate income before Elon took over?

He's trying to monetise it in more ways than selling a blue tick for $8 per month, he's trying to sell off your data hence why his CFO and a few high up legal types resigned lately.

"Data licensing" apparently.

It didn't need to find the $44bn the galoot borrowed to buy it. Twitter was famously famous for never making real money.

I cannot advise strongly enough not to give twitter your credit card details at the moment

Companies wanting to promote tweets and I'm sure other functions that can be bought.
