Elon Musk and the fall of Twitter

[NotATether]

Satoshi is actually the third user to register to this forum. He joined on 19th November 2009 and was active here for close to 13 months.

Arguably he was the first user. The others were just dummy accounts and an auto-generated administrator account. There's no way someone would've registered before him, because he's the one who made the forum in the first place.

The twitter account for Satoshi is now sending out cryptic messages. It was a tweet in reverse '4202 raey eht ni ecnedive fo stol htiw delaever eb lliw ma I ohw fo yretsym ehT'.

And what it says is '“The mystery of who I am will be revealed with lots of evidence in the year 2024'. https://twitter.com/satoshi

That account is bullshitting for the sake of manipulating the Bitcoin price. I recommend not paying it any attention.

Yes you are right it is not to be taken very seriously. But we are all curious who is doing those tweets and just because it is a Satoshi Nakamoto 'spotting'. We can hope it will help manipulate Bitcoin price for the higher.

Well Elon Musk did say some things on Twitter that did make some companies upset. Some of the big advertisers are IBM, Apple, Lionsgate, Disney, Paramount, and Comcast.

It all has to do with antisemitic content on Twitter that Elon Musk has allowed to happen. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/11/17/elon-musk-x-companies-pulling-ads-anti-semitism/

And now that there is many advertisers upset at Elon Musk, he got a offer from Andrew Tate. He is a supporter of him and said he would pay Elon Musk $1 Million a month to help fund twitter.
I think Andrew Tate is being nice to Elon Musk since he reinstated his account when he bought twitter. And because Andrew Tate says he makes $20,000 on just 1 payout from twitter.

Well Elon Musk will now be doing a very good deed. He did say he will donate the advertising money from twitter to the hospitals in Israel and the Red Cross in Gaza.

He was being accused making it ok for saying some antisemitic things on twitter. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12776891/Elon-Musk-donate-X-advertising-revenue-hospitals-Israel-Red-Cross-Gaza.html

That guy is full of surprises, and all the action taken by him was major events like promoting doge, taking over Twitter, and announcing to make Twitter a financial hub All this looks preplanned. There can be short term downsides that we are observing right now but in the long term they can be really massive for the industry. His past record shows he is a successful businessman, and I think he knows what he is doing. It is not like his twitter deal was unintentional and he was forced to buy the company.

Well after removing them in August Elon Musk says twitter will now start to show the titles with URLs in previews. For me it is better this way when I am searching with twitter on my phone.
I like it better that way. Because I did not like it to have to click on the URL card just so we can know the title.

...
He desperately wants to be edgy and cool, noticed and adored.

If this is what's actually happening then it's safe to say his a jack of all trades and a master of non...but then again it will be unfair to say because his among the first to get Electric vehicles that are street legal, the first to use satellite internet in our orbits which actually provides fast internet for people towns and remote areas..surely he definitely is a genius unless his just the face of the company and the real brains behind all these innovations remain unknown to the world 

Elon Musk is not much different from Steve Jobs, he doesn't have comprehensive knowledge, he has the ability to manage people who are competent in certain fields and use them to develop the company he wants to build. maybe he is really confused in some areas, such as being a dogecoin shilling but there are still many great things he is building. there are many predictions about Elonmusk's future, all the companies he is building are really in the right chain, he will definitely be one of the people who change this world into something great through the companies he founded and leads.

This is one of the boldest steps taken by Twitter (Musk) in a clear challenge to the policies of the countries whose sovereign decisions he is supposed to support. The global debate over the Palestinian issue puts many parties between very difficult choices. Elon Musk is one of the few who refused to abandon the humanitarian character with which he wanted to touch people's emotions in exchange for challenging the authorities who support Zionist options.
I cannot be certain that Musk’s empire will fall because of his support for publishing positions said to be anti-Semitic, but I am certain that this will not pass easily, and I would not be surprised if there are restrictions on the activities of Musk’s companies, and not just the Twitter platform.

Elon Musk was being accused of antisemitism from the big advertisers on twitter.  He did have some things to say to people who did accuse him of antisemitism.

Now our guy Musk is telling advertisers to F*UCK themselves and never come back to Twitter/X
 Here is one source in case anyone of you is curious:

https://www.politico.eu/article/go-fuck-yourself-elon-musk-x-twitter-hits-out-at-fleeing-advertisers/

To me it seems Elon got triggered by the interviewer when he got asked about advertisers and the renevue Twitter/X is missing out/bledding. I don't know about you guys, but to me Elon is not supposed to try and act cocky and swear in public like that, it does not look professional at all.
I know he is trying to go with his typical attitude of eccentric and all-mighty billionaire, buy in my opinion it would be better if he focused in getting some advertisers in and tried to increase the value of the platform, at this pace it may be just matter of time before a serious competition to Twitter appears.

The whole story looks a little different. He said that he will not fall to blackmail, especially if they blackmail him with money... which is expected from him, who has a lot of money. I think he deserves respect for this, at least from our crypto side, he said NO to the system, to the FIAT system. And if you think it's cocky you need to check why "BIG NAMES" started to back out from advertising on Twitter.

I think that Elon is trying to enter the big league by his own rules, and we will see will he succeeds in that. For now, I enjoy watching him fighting about some "traditionalists".

Refreshing to see someone approach the whole Elon Musk saga with a differentiated point of view.

Just look what our friend fmr. SEC Chair Jay Clayton had to say about Elon Musk. I thought he would be ranting about Elon Musk at least to a certain degree, but he took a very differentiated stance on some of the statements Elon Musk made. I watched the entire interview with Musk and as you correctly said, this is not about arrogance when he said "GFY" (as he repeats a couple of times). He explains that there is no reason for anyone to respect people who want to see you dead. Like literally destroyed. He is also making a lot of respectable points that I could not verify, like complying with a hundred millions of regulations etc., but I think this is why the follow up talk with Jay Clayton brings some value here. He did not contradict Musk and I was a bit impressed because the SEC and Musk have a nice relationship with each other

I liked the part when Musk said that his life is about physics and that is mostly what counts, not whether someone likes him or hates him because when you break physics, it breaks you. Opinions can break without collateral damage. He said if he shoots a rocket to the moon, it all is about whether it explodes or not. That's all people will be interested in once they use a rocket. Not whether he is an asshole. And he has got a point there.

Well another very big advertiser is not going to do its advertising there anymore. Walmart is 1 of its biggest advertisers so I think this is going to hurt Elon Musk and twitter.

It is a big company like Apple, Disney, and Warner Bros that all stopped their advertising. https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/walmart-says-it-is-not-advertising-social-platform-x-2023-12-01/

Musk's cheap shots are costing him dearly. including reputationally. After the scandal with his anti-Semitic "heroic" statements, with his "I am not afraid of anyone, I am the great and powerful Musk" face, it turned out that Musk is a very submissive and dependent character. He tiptoed to Israel, immediately changed his rhetoric, his voice from rude and "militant" to a quiet and submissive whisper, and complete agreement with everything he was told in Israel )

After that he decided to vent his nerves and resentment for such a "compulsion to do good" on the companies that refused to use the slowly but surely degrading platform "X" for their advertising campaigns, throwing a tantrum and cursing them

If Musk thinks that Trump and other "sponsors" will support him forever or long, I think he's wrong.

Since the purchase of Twitter by Elon Musk, nothing bad has happened on this network. It seems to me that nothing much has changed, the popularity of the social network has not decreased. So Elon Musk chose the right vector of development.

Didn't he just f$ck the advertisers in the interview on New York Times?
Day after that day, articles came out already are against him calling him crazy and that electric cars are failures lol  

He said he is going to document it all and that the world will know who these advertisers who boycotted Twitter all for him telling the truth. I must say he got the balls. If he won't die in suicide, he might just pack with the others who have balls like Dana White who also did the same when his sponsor want him to delete his post about Trump support.

He doesnt have to be an expert in all those subjects he just needs to bring together those who can and manage the product vs cost well enough to call it a success.   I never thought Tesla should especially do well vs the ease and size of its competition but I forgot or missed the detail of the massive amount of subsidy Tesla gets for being the first to deliver its products.  If he can build on that advantage of being first it means alot, I wouldn't expect it to always be enough and after a couple decades it could still mean Tesla is replaced and is not a brand just a subset of a larger firm etc.  
  The example Im thinking of historically is Packard who preceded Ford in their success but did not maintain that level forever.  Last seen 1958, long time ago but still important historically and probably true as a possibility of Tesla.

  Hiding or not the URL is I agree a bigger deal then all the rest because its a universal problem rather then Elon says something silly etc.

As we see now on twitter that every single person is taking away the blue badge which is not quite better for the users who are not even engaged.

Mostly users looks fake even they have their own accounts. But a user who have only less followers can also claim these badges on twitter.

Which looks so disgusting for me and I can't even mostly trust on the account even some of them are real but it is difficult to make a difference between them. So it should be mostly avoid to look at these badges.

This is somehow surprising to read. Is it that I did not read the news or is it hard to find info? Because right from when he purchased 𝕏, it seems like it’s what he always wanted, and wouldn’t sell it for anything. In fact I believed he wouldn’t sell it because he doesn’t want it in the wrong hands (doesn’t mean his hands are perfect though). Today, he seems happy that he purchased it. He’s made a lot of changes to the app, and it all seems like what he always wanted. So how’s this true?
