At last, Twitter wins the battle!!

[blue_hurricanger]

Compared to Facebook and TikTok, Twitter seems to be less favorable but has for long being the opinion ground for the likes of Elon and ex president Donald Trump.

Now, believe me I'm happy Twitter is being bought by someone so ostensibly pro-free speech as Elon Musk, but man....I would have busted one in my pants if he'd purchased Youtube instead.  As far as social media platforms go, Twitter is extremely popular and one that IMO needs to be overhauled.  But seeing as how I don't use it and do watch videos on YT quite a bit, it would have probably made creators on that site a lot less skittish about what they say and what topics they can and can't cover.

But still I'm pleased with this.  Maybe soon Twitter will become less of a left-wing stronghold, but we'll see.  Elon Musk is not only impulsive, he's unpredictable, so it's anyone's guess as to what changes are going to be made.

I doubt Google's Alphabet Inc want to sell their golden egg, Youtube. Even a share seems unlikely. Twitter has been shit for years. You, me and a lot of sensible people wouldn't go to Twitter at all. As someone said, the place had a bunch of woke craps and blue hair landwhale that come to offensive from anything. A good reason why Twitter wants a sellout rather than keep operating that site.
Elon Musk has a noble goal for Twitter, to push for it to become more open, more freedom of speed after the takeover. So maybe he did see the potential of the site after that and willing to keep on the purchase. His criticism of Twitter because the place is full of bots is valid too. No wonder he halts the purchase at that concern, to lower the initial price.

Well, I know one thing....

Elon Musk loves Crypto currencies ....and he will most definitely encourage Crypto content on Twitter if he eventually buy it. We have seen a lot of these large social media platforms ..banning Crypto currency advertising, because it was either too expensive to filter the genuine content from the scams or the masters behind the scenes.. pushed their own agenda.  

Let's hope his stand on Crypto currencies will stay the same ...and that he will allow "freedom" for legitimate Crypto currency projects to flourish on the Twitter platform.

I really hope he does not change this platform to a "subscription" service only.  

If this platform is used as a subscription, I think this platform will only be accessed by certain people, not like now, as for if they implement a subscription system, there must be additional features such as other platforms that already apply the subscription feature.

Many people think that it's good is Musk buys Twitter. To be honest, I am surprised. That would create a monopoly on decision-making by a person whose thoughts and opinions change quite often, and who also regularly manages to say something that is insensitive and offends many people. Musk claims he supports freedom of speech, but, honestly, I am not sure that I believe that he won't just ban those who write what he doesn't like (Rogozin, without whom the platform is probably better off, but also ElonJet whom Musk sees as a security risk but couldn't make shut up yet, to name just a few). I hope he won't be able to buy Twitter in the end.

Bots have been one of the main worries for Elon about Twitter, in fact it was one of the main reasons the deal did not happened immediately as he was not happy about this situation, and if we are honest it is going to be very difficult for him to solve this problem, because as long as there is money to be made scammers will always find a way to circumvent whatever barriers to entry he puts in place and keep operating as usual.

If you could delete every single bot all at once somehow (which is near impossible) then you do not have to worry about all of them restarting again. At the very least you have stopped them being so common at first, and that’s a big deal, and after they are all gone, they can start to accumulate more bot accounts but it will be a slow and gradual increase, it won't be right away.

Meaning, let’s assume there are 10 million bot accounts, if we start to see 10k at first, then 50k in a year, then 100k in 2 years, and then 1 million in 3 years, that’s still nowhere close. Maybe it will take as much as 5 years to have the same bot accounts and that makes twitter a better place for 5 years. Instead of just keep growing bigger.

Twitter can be expanded, its not limited to what it is right now.  I cant see the point of buying it without some vision for expansion to its capabilities, not sure it would be another youtube but short videos are apparently preferable in revenue terms anyway and more relevant to the mobile idea it originated with.

Elon Musk could transform Twitter into an analogue of WeChat in China. WeChat was primary just a chat app, not it is a used for banking, trading good, booking stuff and etc. Payment system integrated into communication app. Users phone number is the account. Elon Musk has enough funds to convert Twitter into something like that, or add similar functions. That might cause users to lose part of their anonymity, but that will kill all those unwilled twitter bots or fake accounts.

Let's hope there will be good changes once he acquires it.
2 of my accounts are gone and one of them was changed to a lady owner. I don't know what happened to it so I just trashed it to avoid more problems.
Freedom of speech is good but security must be higher. No to freedom to hack or the freedom to close accounts just because the owner wants him down or the other person's opinion is not in agreement with his.
The better part that I see is if he reconstructs it with cryptocurrencies injected with it.

It's clear that one of your accounts gets hacked but you should report it and see if the twitter team will recover it. You can also include your other account when you report. Don't just ignore the problem and let the hackers won because they will be more motivated to do the same thing again especially if more users are going to respond the same as you.

Let's assume that they will improve Twitter overall not just its security because there are a lot of flaws from the previous versions of Twitter. Adding cryptos on the platform is also a good idea other than the crypto topics that we see there. This will make Twitter more crypto-oriented versus to other social media sites.

Yes twitter can still be developed again and that's a lot of hope when Elon Musk wants to buy it,
new features are highly anticipated so that twitter looks fresher,
obviously let's just see what will happen next

I hope he won't be able to buy Twitter in the end.

Your hope is still possible, after months of arguments between the two parties, although Elon has announced that he will buy back twitter at an agreed price, it seems that Elon has not yet received the consent of the shareholders of twitter. They remain silent for now and it is not clear what their actions are this time and the trial will begin on October 17, if Elon doesn't get the nod from twitter on the 17th, he will most likely end up in court. Elon is in a more passive position than twitter, if he loses the lawsuit, he will have to pay 1 billion VND for breaking the contract.

Considering how he has been kissing the dictators hands all over the world, and he is a weird fellow, I am pretty sure that Twitter will be much much worse with him at the helm.

I mean this dude is not a good dude, you need to realize that, many people idolize him, and yes it is true that you should idolize the hardwork he has, or the entrepreneur mindset that he has and so forth but that doesn't mean that he should be still making any type of mistakes in his personal life or interviews or in this case even his tweets. Dude is a good business person, but a horrible person and you need to learn to separate the two from each other for sure.
