This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
We knew this was going to happen before he made the purchase.
Everyone said, the best way for Elon to keep his money was to change very little, or even take a hands-off approach.
Masnick suggested this would happen
It was that and so much worse. Moral of the story: Running a huge social media service is hard. Maybe don't assume that because you're a billionaire you're the best at doing stuff.
That's a good start, now keep going
Posts about value are ads. Stop give exposure to this guy or his companies
Let’s everyone point and laugh. It humbles people like him, right?
I don't think many can taste the sarcasm in your comment, but you're spot on.
Appreciated. Yeah. That douche is the absolute worst, but everyone climbing over one another to call him out is just making him more and more relevant.
I tend to ignore posts about him. I wouldn't even be commenting here if I weren't just trying to see if I'm banned from this instance, or just political memes.
I see ya loud and clear! So that’s good news!
I remember thinking twitter was bad before he took over
It's now a complete shadow of what it was even just a couple of years ago. Just a quarter of its value seems generous
I doubt anybody would buy it for a tenth, tbh.
I'm confident you could unload the property for $4B easily enough. That's somewhere in the neighborhood of $10-100/unique user amortized out over the life of the loan, which would be a steal via any other advertising medium.
Twitter still has real value. Hundreds of millions of people still use it, even in its deplorable state. And under new management, I'm confident people would flood back in.
Musk did not buy this as an investment. He bought it to flip elections and manipulate public opinion.
Tesla is writing him a check that will cover the entire purchase price, and Saudi Arabia and Russia will pay the operating costs.
Active users are what matters; if they lost 75% of their users then I'm paying attention.
If he's trying to flip elections, he needs to at least pretend it's being operated in good faith.
I agree 100%. Liberals retweeting how Elon is losing money is actually making him money
Aren't 75% of the users Russian bots? Lol
Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure he gave an outlandish bid for Twitter to manipulate it's stock prices when he pulled put, but he was sued into following through.
I don't think he ever wanted to buy it, or at least he wanted to crash it's value to come back and buy it on the cheap.
Given his unlimited resources, and the world's worst people on speed dial, do you not think that the powers that be could have orchestrated that?
If he was that competent why would he resort to openly pumping and dumping meme coins in public just prior to this stunt.
He has some dangerous strings he can pull, but that doesn't make him a good puppet master.
Broken clock and all that
We'll never know since Musk is nurturing a state-funded "user"-base that will always keep their numbers inflated
If they influence the election to their desired outcome, then the value won't matter. The damage will have been done.
Is elon a Trump fan?
Yes, he gets a raging fascist boner every time someone fails to assassinate Trump because he thinks it's the cue to go full Nazi but really he just keeps jumping the gun and making it far too obvious deeply part of Trump's ongoing fascist takeover schemes and really not the guy we should have any significant government contracts with
Yes, trump has also offered him a spot on his cabinet
Uhm... Yes. Like a lot.
A quarter is cute and all but...
I dont get it. Why would 1/10 be cooler than 1/4 ?
Just wait.
Keep digging, "Leon".
Tesla is next. I'm not sure even he can fuck up SpaceX but I'm sure he'll give it the ol' college try.
Musk is and always has been an incompetent yet lucky scammer.
Twitter will be bankrupt within two years.
!Remindme 2 Years
Ho wait it's not working here
Still this much? Damn dude cooled off
Something tells me its value is not monetary for Musk.
While probably true, this still probably gets him all wound up.
