Elon musk have Just a year to make back his money🙆

[WalkerIVIV]

he is billionaire for a reason, the fact that he choose to own twitter means he has seen the potential in it, therefore I guess this was all part of his plan since i'm sure that even before he owned twitter officially he has already calculated this, even though I doubt it's gonna be that fast in term of elon gaining his money back, even if it takes more time than you just stated still really good investments. there is so many potential for twitter in terms of generating profit I guess.

[o48o]

He is a genius. He wouldn't be one of the world's wealthiest men if he weren't one. It may be a year or more, depending on the number of people who would pay, but holding Twitter is already a feat that would lead to a better investment opportunity in the future. He could make it even more valuable and beneficial to everyone and recover his investment faster.

Rich ≠ Genius. Far from it. Sounds like you haven't been following what the twitter workers are saying. The fact he had to call workers back immendiately after kicking them tells a lot. If i would be one of them i sure would be wanting huge raise from new lead before joining as they totally screwed me over.

And the fact it was carefully balanced game theory so it can be free. So that anyone anywhere could directly have dialog with their representatives, and for famous people to interact with their fans. For people asking tips from experts etc... With current system, only fraction of these people will be seen.

Sure there were trolls and bots and now we shall see if they want to pay to continue scamming people. As far as i know they can afford it easily so i am not sure what this is supposed to fix. So scammers can buy themselves in but impersonating Elon for halloween has already caused lots of permabans for some big celebrities too.

There's a reason Facebook or Reddit didn't ever try to asked for money. It would slowly turn to ghost town and NO ONE would use it in the end. It would have been so much better if they had just sold nft avatars like reddit, or collectable handles like telegram and stuff like that.

There was no real alternative for twitter so far as everyone thought there wouldn't be need for one. Twitter was working just fine and had net effect that's hard to compete with. I am guessing this will change soon as there would be a huge market for it again.

[JoyMarsha]

It's easy to think that way. Let's not forget there are bots accounts on Twitter and many accounts are not quite functional as well. If the $8 charge is fully implemented, don't be surprised that he won't even get one-quarter of the amount he spends on Twitter in more than a year. There are other social media platform options. By the way, the former Twitter CEO is building another social media platform

[bittick]

even though it seems like easy like you mentioned I think it's definitely isn't that simple, indeed elon could easily recover back the money but I think it will requires more than one year, but I'm sure that this $8 subscription for twitter is just the beginning, surely eventually elon will implements further charge for other features and could possibly implements other new features, maybe integrating with cryptocurrencies making it possible for him to get back his money in short term.

[Piesel]

Twitter's mMAUs (monthly Monetizable Active Users) stands at 450 million. If they pay $8 per month, that gives Elon $3.6B per month. It will take 13 months to make $44B - the purchase price QED. Elon Musk is a genius.

From $20 and then dropped to $8, and it is facing a lot of backlash from users. I think if he really applies that fee then people won't pay to stay, they're willing to quit this social network and find another. Social networking is not a monopoly, it is facing stiff competition and we have a lot of free social networks. Although twitter is the most popular social network, that does not mean it cannot be replaced.

I am One of the persons who are against the monetization of Twitter subscribers and even though the $8 monthly fee for verified Twitter user accounts may look small to those who have a lot of marketing and endorsements to promote on twitter.

The majority of other Twitter verified users may simply look for an alternative to Twitter especially if their account is not used for commercial purposes and does not yield any income monthly.

Even if this work, it will only lead to more centralization of Twitter, and in time to come other rules may be added to the Twitter policy.

Regarding Elon Musk's policy, in fact, many people are against it because it has to incur costs that shouldn't be necessary.
it's certainly still early to judge it and I really hope there will be interesting new features,
the possibility of integrating with crypto looks like it can happen and let's see

[jostorres]

I told my crypto friend about Elon Musk's plan. He knew creating a new social media app to compete the top dogs of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter would take millions of dolls and time, so he decided why not buy one of the top dogs? And he's gonna turn it into a serious cash cow

I think building a website from scratch can cost less and for the time, I don't think it will take long for it to be on the level of Facebook, Twitter and other top social media sites because everyone knows who is Elon Musk and he can use his popularity to gather users asap but he didn't think of doing it. Maybe his plans is not for the competition but it has to do of owning Twitter.

Glad that Twitter owners do also sell their creation but who would be when you are being with offered huge amounts of money? And for them, maybe money is more important. Elon has other businesses and they can earn more than what he can get in Twitter.

As for you, my friend, your calculation is unrealistic. How sure are you that 450M users of Twitter will pay 8$ per month? You should always base your computation on the worst-case scenario. Then Based on my research the active users per month of Twitter is at 290.5M

I don't know where you got the 450M users, Besides that you say that Elon Musk is a genius, that's normal because he is a businessman. And as far as I can see, he doesn't care about people, if it helps, he will get his money back. Elon Musk can be said to be one of those shrewd businessmen who will not allow himself to lose in his investment, he always thinks ahead. This is just my assessment.

[Bananington]

Do you mean all business men are geniuses?

And as far as I can see, he doesn't care about people, if it helps, he will get his money back.

If you have a blue tick that is some amount of fame, it is expected that fame comes with money, the $8 should not be an issue if you love twitter. Even if the fee was $2, you will still hear people complain about it simply because they are not used to it. We pay monthly subscription fees for other services already, so people can get used to it. If you love twitter, it is something to adjust to. I only just hope that they take extra precaution and make it difficult not to allow scammers easily get a blue tick with their $8.

[eightdots]

When it comes to making money, Elon is the best in the business. What if he says he will give blue ticks to many people, not just celebrities? People will line up to get blue ticks. I know that he can earn many times more than the money he deposited. We're going to see a lot of different things on Twitter. I'm sure of that. Let's watch and enjoy.

Isn't this statement even makes the whole userbase declining its value? Sure if they pay it all, but I'm pretty sure most of the users in twitter don't even bother with virtual badge in their profile. Basically everyone can just have it with $8 to get it, it's not even make you special where everyone can get it or I can say it's a Pay 2 Win scheme for just half-good benefit it offers.

[drwhobox]

I admit Elon Musk is a genius and all the members are not paid, Elon needs time to get back his investment.
As you said Elon is a genius he will use Twitter for generating more money, and influence.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

  - You know Sir that we are only talking about Elon Musk here, I did not say that all businessmen are geniuses.

Even if the fee was $2, you will still hear people complain about it simply because they are not used to it. We pay monthly subscription fees for other services already, so people can get used to it.

  - You have a point in what you said friend, that when a person is important to Twitter, he doesn't care if he has to pay a monthly fee for it, but what I'm saying is that the total active users of Twitter are 290.5M users, high the chances are 50% or 1/4 of its number can be left. But of course, let's see what happens in the future.

[BENSON F]

I don't think he will put this money in his eyes at all. What he sees is his control over the media and his right to speak, and the bigger strategic issues are the key to his entry into Twitter.

[iv4n]

I also think that it's not just about money, there are certainly some other interests, but in the end, everything Elon does brings insanely high profits. Which is quite normal, with a 44 billion investment he will probably hit many flies at once.
It's hard to figure out Elon's moves, he is getting better and better at manipulating the masses with his words and actions. What his end goal is is probably something only he knows, he surprised many of us many times, so I guess only with time we will see his real intentions.

Elon Musk doesn't have a name to gather users, in fact he has a name that loses money. Isn't that the problem he has? When he joined twitter the "free speech" thing was his selling point and we have seen how horrible that backfired. Right now, twitter is actually losing more money than before, and there are less and less people who spend money on ads at twitter too.

Right now, you could literally do ads that would go 2x more with the same amount of money all because there are less people spending money on it. Because when Elon took over, people left and advertisers left as well, people do not like Elon as much as he thinks people do.

He is not only a genius, but also has the fastest dissemination speed, the largest influence, the largest audience in the world, the most instructive, timeliness, and even the most easily spread false media --- TEITTER.

First of all, twitter was worth something around 15-20 billion, paying 40+ billion means he overpaid like crazy and that means it wasn't about money right away, from the moment he offered it. If it was ever about money, he would have just offered a good number like 10-12 first, and negotiate to get it for whatever it is worth, if he paid more than double what it is worth, that’s a big problem to begin with.

Secondly, we all know "free speech" and media control and controlling the narrative was his whole idea with twitter. He has been working towards that for a while now and I am sure that he will be making twitter a cesspool for sure and it will be unbearable. I can see another website growing bigger soon.

On the official Trust Wallet Twitter page on November 10, a mysterious message appeared: "$8 for Twitter, $0 for Trust Wallet." - https://twitter.com/TrustWallet/status/1590804736646725633 It was with this message that the rapid growth of the price for TWT began. Perhaps he points to the imminent integration of the Trust Wallet wallet into Twitter.

If you think about the user side of Twitter, many users are desperate for Blue Mark but they didn't get Blue Mark so easily but when Twitter bought Elon mask, there is a news coming that Blue Mark can be bought with few dollars. In this case Elon mask may have planned. Part of the money he spent to buy Twitter may come up through the Blue Mark sale, in this case Elon mask may also benefit but at the end of the day the real benefit is our Twitter users because getting Blue Mark will be much easier now.
