I'm not sure if it is known news or just hearsay, but I have yet to hear any news or information regarding Elon Musk actively selling Twitter (now rebranded as X). As far as I know and based on his recent tweets, he is still gathering opinions and making public statements about possible changes he will add to the platform, like removing the Block feature from the messaging section. If you can, please link any article or news you have read this about so we have a proper source unless this is a personal claim.

In the end all humans and including us in the forum must get used to every job being replaced by robots and especially in several countries this has been tried on several vital aspects that force humans to evolve with existing technological sophistication. I have no reference at this time regarding Elon Musk's move to try to sell platform X which initially had quite a large number of users and whether the bots he used to replace employees have become more effective or not.

One thing I know about Elon Musk and he is one of the rare species because every time he makes noise in online media there is an impact and even his marketing skills are not in doubt. So let's see what references are trying to be issued at this time and why he dared to take such a big step that some people might think is an inappropriate step in doing business.

You remind me of a sports fan who, watching a game from the couch, eating chips and drinking beer, yells at the TV that the football player kicked badly, gave the wrong pass and generally ruined the match because he... a professional beer bottle emptier... would do it better.

As for the statement that the application is more boring, I would like to remind you that the content on it is created by the community, not employees. Employees were supposed to take care of the stability of the platform (I did not notice any damage), filtering inappropriate content (I noticed an improvement). In my opinion, laying off 80% of employees is essential when taking over such a large corporation, because it usually turns out that they were spending most of their time in work by drinking coffee and there was no one to supervise it.

In a direct answer to your question about "what mistakes did Musk make in Twitter?" I can answer you simply: The biggest mistake Musk made after the platform purchase deal was that he appointed himself directly as its CEO. All the decisions that followed were because the owner of the platform imagined himself capable of running it despite his lack of the necessary experience. And if he really intends to sell the platform today, then this may be the wisest decision, confirming his inability to continue management without the necessary experience.

This is part of the challenges of Twitter. Elon musk to me was hasty to try to cut down cost by laying off old hands whose wisdom and expertise was highly needed. He wanted to introduce himself as being capable to run social media with bot system just like his background of SpaceX and Tesla. So he needs to retrace the all business idea to make profit rather than the primary public interest of Twitter, before Elon musk Twitter was barely known with all the financial news around it. He needs to take a clue from Mark zugerberg on this.

[EarnOnVictor]

The honest truth is that Twitter has not been the same since Elon Musk bought it, and as a matter of fact, the guy decreased it in value and users due to his speeches, actions and inactions. As it is now, many people writing there are doing so because they do not have a choice, Twitter desperately need a viable rival. Threads could have done this but Mark Zuckerberg did what people see as "too cheap," it's nothing to me but forcing people to have an Instagram account before they can access the app made me uninstalled it from my gadget. I don't like people making things look like a compulsion for any reason.

As for X, it might continue to fail as a microblogging app under the ownership of Musk, but it might be a good earning source for him if he eventually turns it into a financial app as intended.

[Majestic-milf]

 It's quite funny how you came to the conclusion that Elon is looking to sell Twitter after he laid of 80% of his staff. The platform is now boring and seemingly lacking the main purpose for which it was bought doesn't make for enough reason to sell. The billionaire has been known to be impulsive when it comes to his business and if one begins to question where he went wrong in his purchase of Twitter? For me it would be trying to think he can control public opinion and freedom of speech.

 The thing with most of these billionaires is that there's a certain peak they'd attain, they'd begin to view others as worthless. According to one of the reasons he said he bought Twitter for was to fix it. I'm sure he meant in a negative way because honestly Twitter has been struggling to be as interesting and free to use as when it was under Jack Dorsey

[gunhell16]

As far as I know, these are his latest tweets on Twitter;

On August 26, he tweeted that he is "super bullish on China" and that he plans to "spend more time there".
On August 25, he tweeted that he is "working on finishing version 1.0 of Twitter Blue". Twitter Blue is a premium subscription service that offers features such as undo tweets, ad-free browsing, and custom emoji.
On August 24, he tweeted that he is "considering adding an edit button to Twitter". This has been a highly requested feature by Twitter users for many years.
On August 23, he tweeted that he is "looking into" ways to make Twitter more profitable.
On August 22, he tweeted that he is "excited" about the future of Twitter.

But I can't see what he said on Twitter because there are many Elon Musk accounts, and I can't determine which one he's really using. All I know is that he is doing everything to make Twitter apps transparent to the communities here.

Maybe Elon thinks that when it becomes more transparent to people, he will be more embraced and trusted in this matter, so he thought of this style that he is planning. And if there is something that Hel did wrong, perhaps it was the subscription for every Twitter user, in my opinion.

Twitter has become even more boring after being acquired by Elon Musk. I never imagined Elon Musk would dare to take a policy that seemed too forced, firing most of the employees and then replacing them with Bots was not a good idea. Bots are not able to think like humans, bots are just human-made robots that are no smarter than humans. The main thing that is the most boring in my opinion when the logo (Blue bird) which is very iconic with Twitter is replaced with the symbol or the letter "X", I feel there is something different with Twitter after the logo is changed.

Major changes that occurred on Twitter to make user interest in Twitter began to decline. If Elon Musk doesn't try to restore Twitter to its pre-acquisition identity, then he will feel the failure of the strategy implemented. Elon Musk must not be selfish with the rights he has on Twitter, he must realize that without using Twitter he cannot develop. So, comfort and convenience must always be prioritized so that Twitter users increase. That's how to do business properly.

[Catenaccio]

Wait a minute I used to think online is the next generation if your not going online your toast but elon musk just lost funds in Twitter trying to take it fully online.

Online, Twitter is always online since it was deployed to use except when their service is down technically that barely happens.

Fully online, what's this?

He sacked almost all the employees ,replaced them with bots and now he is trying   to sell it .

Other big techs have to sack their employees to reduce cost of operations after pandemic effects become worse and the world has been in a economic recession.

Sell it, I did not know Elon is going to sell X.

But what went wrong Twitter usage is really going down I think the app is more boring . What do you think we all know elon this might be another business Strategy right

If it is boring, you can stop using it and use Threads, Facebook, Nostr or stop using social media.

The whole Twitter deal seemed crazy to me when Elon Musk paid so much money to buy the company. Couldn't be just build a better company from scratch with such kind of money? Anyways now he owns that huge company that is only losing money for him and Zuckerberg is trying to build the new company. Firing a lot of staff, cutting down cost and trying to rebrand the company seems like the equity 101 on how to make a company profitable and sell it on. However, the big investors usually keep the companies 3-5 years to really turn them around and sell them. It takes time for the financial statements to reflect the new situation and also for growth projections to be improve. I don't think there is anybody interested in buying Twitter right now at a higher price than what Musk paid. He is probably stuck with it for quite some time.

[retreat]

We're not billionaires so we don't know what super rich people like Elon Musk are thinking. Maybe for us what he did was wrong, but maybe it would be right? the proof is that until now only a few twitter users have left Twitter, some are trying to get used to themselves with the changes made by Musk. So no matter what Musk wants to do with Twitter, all of us here cannot call it wrong, because we are not billionaires and Twitter owners.

[Hispo]

In my opinion he has committed and continue to commit a series of mistakes which have decreased the value of the company. The most obvious problems are the fact he tried to rebrand Twitter to "X" , when the blue bird logo and name were already part of the popular culture, they were pretty much established, but he did not care.

It would be as if Coca Cola decided to rebrand to "F", it does not make sense to ditch a name and logo which already worked very well.

Also, his plan of not allowing users to block others would only discourage regular users to spend more average time logged in, nobody wants to use a social media where there is no control on what you want to see or ignore.

Why not criticize him? He has dismantled large parts of what made Twitter great, because he overpaid for it without having a plan. He was a rich billionaire that used twitter to spread whatever ridiculous messages he had day to day. Sometimes they took moderation action that went against him and only by owning the platform could have make sure that would never happen again. He put an offer out there, not expecting for it to be accepted, but because he overvalued it so highly it was. At that point he took several steps to backpedal, but had no legal way to back out of the offer and would have been forced to buy it from that point on. So now he is stuck with a platform which is probably worth less than half what he paid in the last year and is just running random experiments on it at this point - like it's his personal project and not used as a valuable communication device around the world.

[Jatiluhung]

He invested heavily in buying Twitter. And of course someone like Elon Musk won't buy something without careful planning. I think Elon's journey with Twitter is still very long. I can't even say whether every step he took on Twitter was a mistake or not. Well we don't know that. Because we don't know what Elon's plan is behind all of that.

But I feel that Twitter users have recently started to increase again. So I think Twitter or X are still in pretty good shape. But if I want to give my opinion about Elon's actions on Twitter, it is that he was too hasty in making changes. Which makes users who are not used to leaving this platform. But there must be a reason behind it all. Because as I said, Elon doesn't seem like a careless person. He must have big plans that he must do immediately.

There is no truth behind OP's words. He's spamming probably to bolster his posts and activity. First, it's not Twitter anymore but X. I also haven't heard about Elon Musk actively selling X. It's also fake news that Elon removed all the former employees and replaced them with bots.

People are quick to call Elon's acquisition of Twitter a failure. I guess most of these people don't even know that Twitter was already a losing company before the takeover. So it's dumb for the new owner not to make huge changes otherwise the company will stay having a negative net income. I actually believe that Elon will turn X into a successful company soon.

Platform X is owned by Elon and he has the right to do anything with it. But it's hard to understand how many people are trying to criticize or berate Elon like this or that...they think he's wrong but while they're just normal users and nothing of X. Those who criticize or disparage Elon only lead me to believe that they envy him because they don't have what Elon has.

In my opinion, if anyone feels this social network is boring and degraded, just exit and delete the application. Elon does not beg or force anyone to use X. These people should create their own social networks instead of whining and complaining about products owned by others.

Nobody really cares about that, and we just have to avoid him if we don't want to be in the loop of the game he often engages in. For example investing in Twitter or memecoin which is often manipulated. There is no benefit whatsoever that we can get other than being a victim. We have to be aware from the start that if you are not a player with big money, don't go into the assets they hold. Regarding the workers who were fired and replaced by robots, don't you see that they have eliminated many jobs, maybe some are still unemployed because of their policies. Like it or not, Elon Musk doesn't care as long as he is still profitable and can control his desires, then we are just puppets. Therefore it is better to avoid things that involve him in the business world.

[bakasabo]

First, before discussing what Elon did wrong to twitter, we must understand what is righr for twitter? You dont like that employees were fire, but what if bots are more effective? You say that the app is boring. But it has barely changed. We still write post and insert pictures and smiles into it. Like 3-6 years ago. Turns to be that it was boring before Elon bought it. Right?

[blockman]

From the time that he acquired it and did a lot of talk about it publicly, that's when he started doing wrong about it. And with all of the adjustments, layoffs, and humiliating them publicly, that's the continuation of it. This gives the chills that whatever you do to others, it will also be back to you.

Nobody really cares about that, and we just have to avoid him if we don't want to be in the loop of the game he often engages in.

Just for the clout and some info, many are concern not because they're concern but because we just wanna know what's happening and what will be the current situation of it in the future and that is because it's a big corporation and one of the most known companies out there.

true with the massive layoffs that elon is doing, quite literally he did massive layoff without any delay I guess karma bites him but right now though it seemed that he's already found a strategy to get back all that money he previously spent in acquiring twitter though its at the cost of losing twitter users but the blue ticks and gold ticks badge has proven to be quite effective strategy that its even getting replicated by instagram.
in this regard I understand elon frustation about meta trying right and left copying whatever he has right now that even he tried to have fight in cage.
though right now thread, the imitation of twitter has never being discussed anymore the trend was rather shortlived honestly and maybe its just gonna be failing and people would latch onto twitter again like before.
after all people are already more familiar with it.

We can say that it's actually karma for him but even with that, he's still a rich guy that can do pretty much everything crazy that he wants. I remember when he fired one of his software engineers and then later on, he needed him back again so he offered him the job again. I don't know what would happen if the SE accepted the job again or put him on his ignore list. If he's willing to sell it lower than the acquisition amount, he's not really doing business on it and just wants to liquidate it because of frustrations through his mishandling and mismanagement. But I doubt it that he'd take a lot of loss and will just allow it to happen or maybe he's too desperate to do that.

I think it's all media BS.
Since Elon bought twitter, that app is 100x better.
I remember before, i never saw content i want, never got ads i want, doesn't matter who i follow, i had bunch of garbage and bots on my home feed!
After Elon bought twitter, i really see what i want to see, i get what i want.

I think he set long term goals because in my eyes that app is far better, bots are long gone, politics is not pushed on surface as before and content makers can now earn money from ads revenue. win-win

[mu_enrico]

Elon doesn't need the Twitter app, so he threw out the old management. He only needs its users... Remember how he negotiated the price when he discovered so many bots on Twitter? Twitter's value is significantly affected by how many active users are on the platform, not by how much money it makes. Now, suddenly "X" has the same amount of Twitter users. Shortly, he'll make another feature for X, not just for social media. He mentioned a "super-app" IIRC, probably like WeChat.

[darkangel11]

IMO changing the well known name of twitter to X was a bad move. We all know that brands grow with time and almost everybody in the world knew what twiter was until the name was changed. Musk ditched a decade of PR for promoting his own brand, since he has tesla model x, space x and now X (social platform).
People don't care about personal brands, but rather notice the legacy. Musk has none and he's putting it all on the idea of creating one that's completely owned by him.

[Nwada001]

The only thing that I notice that people don't like about the decision of Elon Musk was that he took the decision of considering most of the old employees as irrelevant and showing them the way home, changing the name of the company that it's already been known for since its popularity, and making the Twitter platinum almost a compulsory thing for advertisers and big entities as they don't just need to pay for the 4$+ for normal platinum again but now 8$+ for all active features including the benefit of the blue badge.

The above are the things I think people saw as something wrong, which he has done, as the other benefits of buying the blue badge have increased the number of verified accounts trying to scam members on Twitter (X). But for the aspect of him phishing out bot accounts, which was dominating the space, I don't see that as something wrong.

And about the app becoming boring, I don't see it that way, as it's people like you and me who are the content creators on that place, and unless those making it fun stop posting, then I don't think the place is boring. And now that he has enabled paying content creators over their works, I think the place will be more fun than it used to be, as many other people will pick up interest in it as they will also want to earn from the space.

Well, I think that he is in for the long run... so he is probably trying to make a "super app". I saw his posts about "X-payments" and about "X phone". Elon is not where he is because he is stupid and makes stupid moves, he has some plans for sure, he surprised all of us more than once. So nobody knows what will Elon do, and how he will do something...  It's one of his strengths I guess, keeping the enemy clueless about his next move. I don't like Elon, but his bankroll speaks for itself, he is not doing anything just like that.

Doesn't matter though, I mean it's his business and he can do what strategy he thinks suit his new company. If he fires a lot of his employees and then give them money, then good for them.

Acquiring Twitter or X right now it's a good gauge how good Elon Musk is as a business. And with so many of his haters, for sure they are all praying that X would lost in the fight with Mark Z. But whatever, lesser of two evils?

[Accardo]

One of the mistakes of Elon Musk on twitter is that he decided to pay creators, it's good to the creators, but wrong for viewers or readers. The creators on twitter provide low quality information to earn the X ad revenue. Twitter is flooded with spam tweets from influencers seeking quick money. I'd say many people left twitter when he sold the verification for $20, but that won't be compared to the number of people that left twitter the moment he started paying verified users depending on the number of accumulated impressions. He is doing good by promoting free speech on twitter, but a lot of changes on twitter, like uploading long videos on twitter, also read somewhere that people can download videos on twitter, and the need to login before reading tweets on web, etc. He is a billionaire, so he tries anything he feels possible, not minding how twitter operated before he purchased the platform. I've not heard about his intention to sell twitter, not yet. That would have been a major headline news on blogs.

I have no confirmation on what are you saying and even you haven't posted any the references to the news but one thing I want to mention which I haven't mentioned anywhere on the forum because I haven't encountered a thread or posts relating to it even on my local thread maybe I missed up this topic.. The rebranding was a shity decision haha Twitter was great TwitterX or Xtwitter was also fine fore me now its "X" what should call when I want someone to open twitter should I say open X please haha? What a weird name.

Ohh I totally forgot He is by himself he is weird.. Just tries to be in the news.. Do he need i don't know but he always demand attention as most others in his class dont.

[Mr.right85]

In the end all humans and including us in the forum must get used to every job being replaced by robots and especially in several countries this has been tried on several vital aspects that force humans to evolve with existing technological sophistication.

I’m having difficulty coming to terms with a possible hard truth in this statement of having bots replace humans because still, there would continue to be bits incapability as a bit could only be limited to what’s it’s programmed to do. And of ciurse, there would be breakdowns from time yo time where you would have humans fix the bits.

It’s already happening that bits are fitting in some human rules in a bid for CEOs to maximize profit but, the road to a more improved system isn’t by bits but, human thoughts and problems faced in the society by humans.

I can’t imagine myself being a regular in a hotel where all the services are handled by bots, hell now. That’s a one in a life experience but, not something you’ll want to enjoy every other day. Human interactions is unmatched.

What happens is that he completely centralized Twitter and adapted all the rules and changes exclusively to himself. Obviously, people are not that willing to be part of his toy. Even when you have a lot of money, it does not necessarily mean that you are excellent in every branch of business, it will take a lot of time until he accepts that.

Regarding the further sale of Twitter, I haven't heard anything about it either, I guess it's just rumours. For example, somewhere I came across information that Elon's account is one of the most blocked on that network. I wouldn't be surprised if that's true, because sometimes he really irritates.

[blue Snow]

What do you think we all know elon this might be another business Strategy right

If I were you, I don't think too much about this guy, because all that he did was just for profit. He is a businessman who has a lot of strategy for marketing his project sometimes is full of blunder and make people think he is going to destroy them. As I know, twitter is away for him to market all the products he has. All people know that after he bought it. so that situation, the people want think it's a strategy to grow his Twitter, but a strategy to raise his name in the world and popularize all his company.

every product has something that called product life cycle. the product life cycle has many different types depend on the product. twitter can be considered as a product, in 15 july 2006 Twttr was released by Odeo and the name has changed into Twitter. it's been about 17 years since it launched. every product which reach the peak of its popularity will become less and less popular day by day. if the company don't make something different that attract new customers then the product will lost it's popularity. In my opinion, Elon Musk is doing a good decision to buy twitter because it's already become a big news and can make him more popular, it also make his other company become more popular, it is the good thing for him. the good thing for twitter is that he already changed the name into X which will give X an opportunity to keep it's popularity, he also trying to increase the revenue for X. I think there is nothing wrong.

It’s already happening that bits are fitting in some human rules in a bid for CEOs to maximize profit but, the road to a more improved system isn’t by bits but, human thoughts and problems faced in the society by humans.

I can’t imagine myself being a regular in a hotel where all the services are handled by bots, hell now. That’s a one in a life experience but, not something you’ll want to enjoy every other day. Human interactions is unmatched.

Like it or not one day we will live in that environment where every job will be handled by robots and just like some hotels that have implemented such a service. Unfortunately we will lose interaction and we live filled with incompatibilities, but that is the development of technology that will continue to evolve. When humans are weak and cannot adapt to these conditions, what happens is that they lose all hope of working in sectors that were previously worked on by humans and completely taken over by robots.

Back to Elon Musk and I think he will try to make X platform more than just social media and will make other new features as well. Something that is done by him has a good marketing value because that's why he is considered as a person who has influence with firmness and belief, you can imagine a design that he does the result will be much more successful.

The fact that he didn't, there was no proper planning for it. Musk bought Twitter after being sued in court. And a little I suspect that this has something to do with the interests of politicians so that the court scenario requires Elon to acquire Twitter as soon as possible. cmiiw

I'm not aware that he wants to sell "X" formerly Twitter, after rebranding it, that doesn't make sense to me. Cutting of employees to replace it with bot, that sounds like a cheap upgrade for him, but of course we as an employee does not like things like these happening, but as much as we don't want to see that happening more in the future, but bots are more accurate than humans.
He can't be the richest guy in the world and recklessly spend billions away without trying to fix the old system and opt on reselling it, I simply don't believe that because he sees something in Twitter before he deices to purchase it in the first place.
We still can't underestimate the mind of a a very rich businessman.

[adaseb]

He is a smart guy, he bought it for a reason. Especially since he overpaid for it. Twitter price was mostly sideways while tech bombed during that period. He could of paid 33% or 50% of what he paid. Or he could of just paid that $1B fine and abandoned the deal. But he still went ahead.

He made huge changes. He let go of some much of the work force. And yet the company still functions. Which tells you that twitter was just burning money all those years.

 

[Tytanowy Janusz]

Those who criticize or disparage Elon only lead me to believe that they envy him because they don't have what Elon has.

I honestly don't think it's jealousy. More in my opinion, it is ignorance (combined with an underestimation of the complexity of the world) combined with a primal need to look for simple causality, combined with an overly high opinion of oneself.

[michellee]

Maybe Elon has started to lose his income from Twitter so he decided to fire almost all his employees and replace them with bots. By using bots, he has clearly cut the cost of employee salaries and only has to watch how his bot works to manage Twitter.

And if he wants to sell Twitter after making many changes at Twitter, that's up to him because he may not be interested in managing Twitter anymore. He may have already thought that Twitter was not giving him much income. We also don't know Elon's plans for Twitter so we can only guess.

It could be his strategy to sell Twitter and to get attention from the people who use Twitter. We also don't need to pay much attention to what Elon is doing because it has nothing to do with us and we only know what he does from the news.

Well I was starting to think that he was not serious in the first place in Twitter anyway, like why would he try to take over it in the first place? Gain fame? Sure it is all about money, but he could possibly had did it to more "serious" platforms.

People were saying that he was just trying to destroy Twitter, not really trying to make it better. That's just sayings, but I am not really sure though.

I didn't hear anything about his selling Twitter or X as that is what it's called now, and what makes you think that Elon Musk is responsible for the platform being boring? He is not controlling the user accounts and posting content from his side. You could say that he might have made some decisions that might have become the reason for a lot of people leaving the platform but that number isn't surprisingly large in my opinion and it might improve again later on.

I don't know about anything else, but there is one thing that I believe shouldn't have been done and it is to allow everyone to have a blue tick by paying a certain amount of money as a fee for it, it was better when they used to decide who should have that tick as it used to represent that an account having that tick belongs to someone who is famous and earned it.

It is true that what he does has nothing to do with us nor benefits us, he is in business for his own profit. But it's not uncommon for him to be the subject of discussion because he's the richest man in the world and his manners and words often create disagreements. But on the news he's selling Twitter, I've never heard of that and I don't think that was his goal. I guess he has bigger plans with twitter in the future, such as the race to the white house?

[Majestic-milf]

 I think at the end of the day, whether the purchase of Twitter was a bad idea or not, or it's not going to be a promising and profitable business venture, he'd still recover if ever Twitter goes bust. Plus he must have learned early that in business, you win some and lose some.
Twitter was total chaos after his takeover but that just defines what most business magnates are made of; to be ruthless and unfeeling as long as it takes in profit, right? Let's believe he's got a plan up his sleeves, but then again, always bothering ourselves with what plans he has next is not something I'd be worrying my head about because even though he's a major player in the crypto market, I doubt he'd be seeking the opinion of anyone before doing what he wanna.

Well, we don't know the real reasons behind all of Elon's actions, who bought Twitter and then made some pretty bold policies. And he also cut the number of employees for the company. As if he had actually thought of everything since he had not bought Twitter. My guess is that he has wanted Twitter for a long time because maybe having a social media platform with a lot of users is one of the things he needs to have to continue with his plans.

Let's see in a few years what will happen to X. And speaking of the symbol X, this is not a new plan either. But it seems that it also has a bit to do with things in the past regarding Elon.

we can only speculate here and well we are free to think and judge about this. But the real answer belongs to Elon.

[Sayeds56]

Elon Musk's approach to twitter is an interesting case to study and analyze, however it would be premature to establish any opinion about twitter before its substantial upgrade reaches completion. I understand that his team is working behind the scene to integrate this social media channel with automated bots and a potential payment infrastructure facilitating global transactions for good and services. There is a possibility that he could potentially integrate payment system based on crypto currencies into the mix.

I think buying Twitter in the first place was a mistake Elon Musk made out of arrogance. He was too hasty in bidding on Twitter, when he wanted to stop buying Twitter, it turned out that he was sued by Twitter officials so he was forced to buy Twitter.

To be honest, I don't think Elon Musk will be successful at running Twitter. I hope Elon will release Twitter soon and Twitter will be held again by people who are suitable in their fields. In some ways, Elon Musk is a smart guy, but I don't think that's the case for the future of Twitter

[DeathAngel]

I don’t think he’s done anything wrong. I think he has reinstated free speech mostly which is a huge positive. There will be no Twitter induced election interference this time which again is a huge positive. I think we will see that as a business, with the Twitter Blue initiative that it will be a far more profitable business which is uptikately the main goal for Elon.

This is part of the challenges of Twitter. Elon musk to me was hasty to try to cut down cost by laying off old hands whose wisdom and expertise was highly needed. He wanted to introduce himself as being capable to run social media with bot system just like his background of SpaceX and Tesla. So he needs to retrace the all business idea to make profit rather than the primary public interest of Twitter, before Elon musk Twitter was barely known with all the financial news around it. He needs to take a clue from Mark zugerberg on this.

Elon is just a wise guy. One of the most wisest in the world and I do not doubt him any moment. When Elon came into bitcoin and dodge, we saw the impact it gave to the cryptocurrency market. When he took over twitter there was wave, even if he wants to sell twitter, he is intending to make another wave. When I heard the news of Elon and  Mark, I know he is about to do something.

Op, everything is going bot way, we must embrace it now or in the future.

[goldkingcoiner]

Elon doesn't need the Twitter app, so he threw out the old management. He only needs its users... Remember how he negotiated the price when he discovered so many bots on Twitter? Twitter's value is significantly affected by how many active users are on the platform, not by how much money it makes. Now, suddenly "X" has the same amount of Twitter users. Shortly, he'll make another feature for X, not just for social media. He mentioned a "super-app" IIRC, probably like WeChat.

Elon Musk is an attention-begging, gigantic egotistical narcissist who pretends to be furthering technology even though he has not invented or achieved anything worthwhile. He is basically a version of Steve Jobs, who, while being very talented when it comes to hyping people up and taking their money, has not been able to hold on to a single one of his promises. His rockets fail, his mars mission will never come to pass, his cars are fancy-looking junk that people only buy so they can brag about buying them. And now he aquired Twitter and has no idea what to do with it. All he wanted from Twitter was the attention of the users.

[Emmanuelex]

It's gotten that bad? I wasn't aware of it. Ever since their annoying updates I have stopped keeping up with the app and every news that really has to do with it. I think Jack made a huge mistake by selling the Twitter platform to Elon, because since he took over, he just ruined a lot of things about Twitter, now a lot of people started to dislike it. Anyways, I'm not entirely off, because I still have audience on the platform tho', but I'm not that much active as of before now.

That's my case too: I wasn't very active for the last year, but it is now months since I logged in for the last time. We, as users, focus on features and benefits we obtain from different social media platforms, but in my opinion we should also care about the changes in the politics of these platforms and behave accordingly. I have nothing against efficiency, but the social impact of the measures explained in the OP should be taken into account when making the decision of which platforms use and which not.

Yes, he is a loud talker who is constantly vying for the spotlight. Isn't it simply excessive?

Exactly why did he purchase Twitter? Whose focus? Everyone is aware of the significance of this fact. Observe the Teslas. You have to question if they are purchasing a vehicle or a brand that has been oversold.

However, we should also discuss Steve Jobs. Even though he was a maestro of hype, at least he delivered. Elon? Many of these lofty promises remain unfulfilled.

What is the upshot? You must be wary of whom you put your trust in, particularly when it comes to so-called "visionaries." Occasionally, the performance is more important than the outcome. And I have yet to see Musk's major achievements. However, who knows? Perhaps he's not as great as he believes he is. Who knows?!

To be honest, I don't exactly understand what you mean, but all the same, my simple reply would be that Elon owns Twitter, he bought it with his hard-earned money, and that I believe gives him the full right to do whatever he wants or wills with the app, him sacking people is not a concern if you ask me, I mean every business out there are looking for effective ways to cut down cost and also generate more profit at the same time, so if sucking people was one of his ways to achieve that, we can't blame him, he is just doing what he thinks is best for his business, after all, we are talking about billions of dollars here which he spent from his pocket to acquire Twitter, it is only normal for him to do whatever he thinks is right so as to get that money back as quick as possible and also generate profit for himself.

So for me personally, I do not find anything boring about Twitter, and to be honest still, nothing has really changed from the week which are used to be before, aside from the blue tick which can now be owned even by scammers .

[Razmirraz]

Only Elon Musk knows what he's going to do with the future Twitter continuation. The goal of acquiring Twitter is part of the business. He, who is a reliable and successful businessman in several areas of his business, will try new luck with Twitter. Major changes that occurred internally and externally led to various kinds of speculation from users as you say "Twitter application is more boring". This is only the assessment of a small number of users after the changes occurred to Twitter, but from a different point of view there are still many Twitter users who feel comfortable with the new policy taken by Elon Musk.

Elon musk has a plan, he always has a plan and all that he's doing is only leading to his master plan that he has before he decided to buy the social media. Elon musk is a genius and he has already rebranded the platform to X which will be a host to all of his plans and he has also started paying content creators which means X will be filled with more content creators as they search for ways to make money from the social media and this will make him more profit from the social media.

When Elon musk bought twitter he noticed that the social media was been operated on losses and he has cut down on all those expenses and now the platform is generating revenue from those individual that want to verify their twitter badges or become content creators.

[Sayeds56]

As in my previous comment within this thread, I had mentioned that Elon Musk is working on a comprehensive plan to add crypto currency based system in twitter (X). Today news piece has surfaced, reveling that Elon Musk has successfully obtained license in three different US states for this intiative.This significant positive development has led to remarkable surge in Bitcoin price. In just one day, its price increased approximately $1500.

[Wimex]

Considering that changes in business strategies and companies' approach are common in the business world, and Elon Mosk is also known for making unusual decisions… It makes the idea of automating certain aspects of Twitter using bots might have been an attempt to improve efficiency... But clearly it didn't work that way and ended up bringing consequences. The perception of the inherent decline, I would say that it is because better platforms have come out, I personally have never liked Twitter... It is one of the most toxic places on the web. Lastly as to whether this could be another business strategy, it could be quite possible, we have seen that companies are often looking for new ways to innovate and differentiate themselves in the marketplace, and dramatic changes can generate attention and renew interest in a platform. …only time will reveal the true intent behind these decisions.

He really have a plan, when he bought Twitter he's already an idea what to do. We all know that Twitter is the most used app worldwide that connects people internationally so many users equal to many opportunities. Even these kind of reactions he'd already expected when he planned to have any changes in Twitter. Remember when he put a payment to just have a checkmark for any users with checkmark? If you've forgot to pay you mark will be gone and of course everyone also hated that idea it's like a ripoff just to get money from people. But we all know those mark also gave them benefits such as advertisement as well. Even crypto related and business are roaming in the Twitter so I think in the very future he would put a business thing in the Twitter and of course the fee so Twitter would still run.

[ChiBitCTy]

I'm honestly amazed at how well Elon Musk has done in his life because for all the smart decisions he's made, he's made an equal (if not higher) percentage of dumb moves.

I think he regrets buying twitter...or should I say "X".  I HATED twitter before he took over, and I like it even less now that he has taken it over.  I deleted my account.  It's just such a shit show, and I honestly don't think he has any real idea how to run it.  He's a narcacist who wanted his own platform to blab away all day long (which he does) but I don't think he fully through through his purchase.

[Iroh]

He replaced the employees he had let go with bots? That’s news to me. I also don’t think Twitter usage has gone down as I think more people have, for a while been encouraged to join with the prospect of earning from the app. Asides all that, I do think Elons handling of the app has been not so good. If X, formerly known as Twitter hadn’t been as popular and used as well as doing so well before the new owners came along, X would have been by now been dead.
Before Elon bought the app, his engagements with other users was barely noticed. But now, he’s actively spouting his thoughts and opinions while his ass kissers eat it all up as truth.

[Pierre 2]

I feel like Elon Musk's only mistake along the way was him being too edgy for CEO or owner of such billion dollar worth business. He could keep generating money through twitter ads by getting good with advertisors - but he loved being as edgy as teenager - its costs him billions of dollars. But I don't personally think he did anything financially wrong except this. I think late move to give money back to users with most viewed posts was actually good move that will turn twitter (or x com) into youtube of texts. Elon Musk is wise guy in my opinion.

[Cryptomultiplier]

If you have really paid attention to this Elon Musk story and why he purchased Twitter, you would get to understand better that he has been trying to own his own social media platform from way back before he even got spaceX and Tesla.
He is working to remodel Twitter to an everyday app according to him, and in trying to do such good, more damage has to be perpetuated to enact the idea he has in mind.

What Elon did wrong was to not start his own social media platform from scratch and build up, instead he opted to redesign an already existing idea. In 5years time, we would clearly see the results of what he is doing right now.

he's indeed sometime too much in making decision but i guess thats what make him enigmatic you just don't know what his decision will be and they are mostly out of the box.
take a look at the badge subscription that they have, now its even being imitated by the other platforms.
elon sure is trying to manage twitter differently compared to the previous executives of twitter so I guess thats why he has made some bold decision in regard of this billions worth platform.
surely in the future there will be more and more interesting decision coming from him that i'd expect gonna change the tide of the current condition, but we don't know whether he gonna suceeds or not.

[ancafe]

If that happens, which is not far from impossible, the only way for people to survive is to look at it as an opportunity and find a way to live among the changes given by technology. As much as some people want to live far from the grasp of technology, it is now close to impossible as technology keeps on evolving and we keep on finding ways to rely on it.

There are negative and positive sides of existing technological developments, especially when it is associated with the understanding of people who live in rural areas. Let me give an example: In the past, people in my village went to the fields to plant rice, which was entirely done by humans, but with technological developments, human involvement in planting rice is no longer dominant because technology already exists. The positive value of human labor is no longer drained for the process of planting rice until the harvest arrives because it is greatly helped by the presence of technology. On the other hand, the presence of technology does not provide benefits for small farmers because they have to incur much higher production costs, so that their yields are no longer worth the capital spent.

Discussion has gone a bit outside of the OP so I want to draw a conclusion, human life continues to innovate with the presence of technology and we are required to be able to adapt to it. Elon Musk is typical of a sophisticated generation in running any business and even though he is no longer young, some people say he is selfish or too arrogant. But to look successful, maybe some people need to follow the steps and methods that are done because sometimes their thinking is very precise, anyone can try to adopt their mindset to achieve success.

I agree, If he made his own social media platform from scratch a lot of users would not have such negative feedback. I believe it is the comparison of old users' experience and what they are already familiar with in comparison to Elon Musk's changes that is causing such negative feedback. When reading most of the negative tweets regarding the changes applied by the rebranding of Twitter to X, users find it inconvenient as some of the features they enjoy are being removed and those they could not care about are being added. It's like taking them away from their comfort zone.

On the other hand, in relation to why Elon even bought Twitter and your answer to it, here is an article that showcased Elon Musk wants to build his own social media platform in early 2022 due to Twitter being a hindrance to free speech: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/03/28/elon-musk-says-hes-considering-building-a-new-social-media-platform.html

[icalical]

Elon getting too deep in his own crusade to create the platform that is ideal in his opinion, he doesn't listen to his employee nor his users. Changing the name to X, changing the feature name to Repost, implementing Verified Subscription and a lot of other things. Most of users and the former twitter employees is against that, but he didn't care.

But all that being said, I and probably most of other people would still use twitter, since the alternative is worse.

But all that being said, I and probably most of other people would still use twitter, since the alternative is worse.

If you also notice that, it means he is making good use of it and has succeeded.  one thing I see is people complaining, criticizing, booing... but in the end still use Twitter and still spend money to sign up for a blue tick.  so it can be said that he does what he wants and doesn't listen to anyone is completely right, right for him because it brings profit for him, not right for us because we have to spend money to use Twitter.  But as you said, we have no alternatives, and who is winning?

Wait a minute I used to think online is the next generation if your not going online your toast but elon musk just lost funds in Twitter trying to take it fully online. He sacked almost all the employees ,replaced them with bots and now he is trying   to sell it . Don't mistake me I'm not trying to criticise the dude but i don't get why this happened for real his plan was nice trying to reduce cost of work . But what went wrong
Twitter usage is really going down I think the app is more boring . What do you think we all know elon this might be another business Strategy right

I'm not sure what your sources are but this information is wrong, they are not facts but you can prove me wrong with the right source to read through. We all know how he wanted to buy Twitter back then and on realizing that it contains more than 40% of users are bots, he decided to drop the deal but somehow, the deal later went through. After he took over as the CEO, he found out that some employees were not needed, some jobs could be done by a person and he found out it was done by 5 people, he had to cut down the cost of the operation to bring twitter to the mainstream.

In addition, Twitter has been rebranded to X which we don't know why but it could be trademarking it to suit its parent company SpaceX. He has also decided to introduce revenue for content creators through their monthly impressions to bring more people to twitter, so I don't understand what you are talking about.

Yep as far as my experience with the new Twitter or X, they still has the best algorithm, and it keeps getting better. Everything that appear in my For You page is always relevant and it always keep me for scrolling for more. And to be honest, I don't really care about the Logo, Repost/Retweet term, and something like that, as long as it still gives me good content I would still using it.

Those who are trying to criticize Twitter's change of Logo or brand name because they have no better reason to blame Elon. It can be simply said that they are people who don't like him no matter what he does to make things better. One more thing, Elon bought Twitter with his own money which means he has full authority to do anything with it. Those who don't like Elon's changes to Twitter, I think they should buy Twitter instead of complaining everywhere.

I also don't really care if it's X or Tw, I just know that it still gives me what I need like before, even better than before. What about their stock falling or Twitter's revenue falling...what does that have to do with us?

However, this does not explain the significant decline in Twitter's revenues since the completion of the purchase deal nearly a year ago, knowing that the platform had not been profitable for a long time before Elon Musk came to it. There is a significant decline in the demand for using the platform, whether from ordinary users or from advertising companies.
Even Mask's action to impose fees on the account verification logo did not help increase revenues and encouraged many to leave the platform for other platforms with less advantages.

[isaac_clarke22]

I think it's all media BS.
Since Elon bought twitter, that app is 100x better.
I remember before, i never saw content i want, never got ads i want, doesn't matter who i follow, i had bunch of garbage and bots on my home feed!
After Elon bought twitter, i really see what i want to see, i get what i want.

I think he set long term goals because in my eyes that app is far better, bots are long gone, politics is not pushed on surface as before and content makers can now earn money from ads revenue. win-win

Well it's kinda meh for me. I kinda agree with your part that it was like a pit for bots and just bunch of garbage posts due to how easily one can write a bot for it and just do mass posting. See those unnecessary follower you get in your news feed? Yeah that was one of the issues, and good thing that it isn't happening as much as it was before. No more of those "fake singles in your area" following your alter account.

I just hated that it became like subscription based now for some badges and ticks. I know it might not cost that much for people in US, but still I am not fan of that feature.

Right now, Twitter remains one of the best social media platform, if you don't like it then that's you, you are free to leave and try others, you said Twitter is boring? That's a big fat lie, the most boring social media platform I know is Facebook,  I would choose Twitter over Facebook anyway.

Twitter is very useful for me and my crypto journey, I activate every notifications on all the projects on my watchlist so that I can stay up to date, and the moment Elon Musk changed the name to X, I knew that crypto payment through Twitter platform is coming.

Have patience, you will take all your words back, let's wait till after Bitcoin halving, I believe that what Elon have in mind will play a big part in the next bull run, do not underestimate that man, I repeat, Elon Musk shouldn't be underestimated.

[Unbunplease]

Elon Musk bought a pretty expensive toy - and now he's trying to realize its possibilities. I think he will have everything ready in time for the upcoming bull run in 2024-2025 and will more than recoup his costs. He has a powerful tool to influence the opinion of the cryptocurrency world. And what he does wrong and impulsively will soon be corrected.

[kojektea]

If it is really successful now without careful planning for its business competitors, maybe making the Twitter company completely online was a mistake even though Elon Musk could do it. If we think about how to fight against Elon Musk's competitors in the future, employees who are replaced by bots could even be more sophisticated than Elon Musk's. he's probably thinking about this.

[Cling18]

If we think about how to fight against Elon Musk's competitors in the future, employees who are replaced by bots could even be more sophisticated than Elon Musk's. he's probably thinking about this.

He'll surely regret replacing those Twitter's long time employees with bots because we all know that bot has limitations and couldn't reach human intelligence. Elon has been really competitive and took everything as a business without concrete planning. Some people are now switching to other platforms since Elon took the ownership of it.
However, we all know how tricky Elon's strategies and we can still expect that he'll still do everything to recover and make profit again especially when the bull season approaches. He knows how to take advantage of everything.

[Gyfts]

I feel like Elon Musk's only mistake along the way was him being too edgy for CEO or owner of such billion dollar worth business. He could keep generating money through twitter ads by getting good with advertisors - but he loved being as edgy as teenager - its costs him billions of dollars. But I don't personally think he did anything financially wrong except this. I think late move to give money back to users with most viewed posts was actually good move that will turn twitter (or x com) into youtube of texts. Elon Musk is wise guy in my opinion.

Political activists drove out advertisers from the start. It was a losing battle.

Though I agree his "edginess" (I'd refer to it as billionaire eccentrics/mannerisms) didn't help. Twitter was not profitable prior to Elon's purchase. Setting aside his mannerisms and some mistakes with rebranding twitter as "X", he overpaid for a platform that isn't easily monetizable. Operating costs are too high, revenue is low, the results were predictable.

Whether he do go after for profit or just simply that a common decision that he do have in mind then it there's no way on doing that because we know that there are things which we are doing will really be basing up with
our own interest and just really liking on doing so but come in mind that buying Twitter/X now isnt something cheap? This is why its impossible that he wont really be minding on getting back those ROI's
knowing that this guy is a businessman and a billionaire on which it is really that impossible that he wont really be thinking about returns and ROI's on which it would really be that a common approach.
On the time that you would buy up something then it would be that pretty normal that you do have the full rights on how you would do mold up things whether you would retain those old system or would really be
applying your own which its none others business on how you would really gonna do or handle up your own company now. People getting used to into that old Twitter management but since it does have that
new owner then it would be normal for those kind of changes and this is something that you would notice it out and its up to you whether it pleases you or not.

[Baki202]

If you have really paid attention to this Elon Musk story and why he purchased Twitter, you would get to understand better that he has been trying to own his own social media platform from way back before he even got spaceX and Tesla.
He is working to remodel Twitter to an everyday app according to him, and in trying to do such good, more damage has to be perpetuated to enact the idea he has in mind.

What Elon did wrong was to not start his own social media platform from scratch and build up, instead he opted to redesign an already existing idea. In 5years time, we would clearly see the results of what he is doing right now.

Owning his own social media has long been a goal of Elon's, and he already has one. He also has plans in place to leverage the platform to increase his income, and he may soon begin producing phones. It is evident that Elon is working hard to realize all of his other aspirations as well. and I believe that Space X, which has used up a lot of money but Elon is still so passionate about the project and I admire his spirit of perseverance, is one of the biggest undertakings that have got him fired up.

His mistake was buying Twitter to begin with, Twitter already had problems and it needed an expert to try to revive it and make it competitive again, instead Elon bought it and for him it was his new toy he could do whatever he wanted with.

And while some decisions were what you can expect a new owner to do, like reducing the number of employees in order to become more profitable, there are many other movements that were questionable, and as such it would not surprise if at some point he had to sell for a loss.

Twitter was indeed already getting problems and a lot of issues from its users way before Elon Musk decided to buy it. For example, there was the brewing community of alternative accounts posting 18+ contents that can easily be accessed by minors just by seeing retweets from pages they follow. Moreover, there are also increasing numbers of scammers and hackers that filled Twitter, causing a lot of accounts to be deleted.

However, when Elon Musk bought Twitter, he did not even address these already existing issues and problems but instead made changes that received mixed reactions from the platform's users. Some of these changes include having the paid verification plan (premium Twitter account) that allows paying Twitter users to own the blue checkmark in their profile, have prioritization in conversation and search, post longer videos in 1080p quality, and more. Another significant change was his policy of banning links to other social media platforms like Instagram, however, this policy was immediately removed due to backlash from millions of users. Lastly, and probably the biggest overall change, is the rebranding of Twitter to X. Some users find the new look cold and impersonal, as the bluebird and former UI design of Twitter looks friendly, fun, and warm, while the black and simple X one shouts cold and too professional.

Now, I'm sure Elon Musk did think about these changes before he applied them, having his own reasons for even coming up with these ideas. However, from the backlash he is getting from a lot of users, I believe it was indeed better if we had built his own social media platform from scratch instead of buying Twitter that a lot of people already have an established opinion and experience using.

Your views on Twitter being the best social media platform is purely subjective. To some, Twitter is crap and Facebook, being the biggest and  most used social media platform in the world would seem more engaging. It solely depends on the preference of the individual.
Twitter, admittedly has been helpful for a lot of people in various ways as I also find the app useful in keeping abreast with information I find useful. Also, long before Elon changed the name to X, users could accept donations from their followers and subscribers from various methods, bitcoin included.

I don’t think anyone underestimates Elon. He’s successfully running several big companies that seems to be doing fine. But his engagements on the app has made people not to take him serious and that’s purely on him.
I’m curious on what exactly made you have the belief that Elon has some sort of plan that would play a big part in the next bull run.

[mindrust]

Elon did nothing wrong.

He kicked them useless employees because they were doing more harm then good. They were democrat sjw’s and let’s be honest nobody likes them other than the other democrat sjw’s. I like the current state of twitter more tbh. It is a lot more entertaining and even DJT sent a new tweet lately which means x is on the right path. Elon did the right thing buying twitter. Now he can promote anything he wants without any fear of getting censored by any democrat fuckwits like Dorsey or zuck.

[summonerrk]

I have never met the news that Elon is going to sell X, which used to be Twitter. If you have a link to this news, then please share it. I also don't remember seeing the news that most of the employees will be replaced by bots, and it seems strange to me, even if it's true.

I read the opinion of one of the still working top managers, and in general it became clear that the employees of X are dissatisfied with the work of Mask:
The main reason is that he does not listen at all to the opinion of those who have been developing Twitter all these years, but makes decisions on his own. He often promotes his ideas, of which there are clearly erroneous ones.
That's what she said in the interview.

This is what he is preparing to upgrade for the social network Twitter, a full-featured social network that is essential to us. So what is Elon doing wrong? We don't even need anyone to praise him for what he does, but feel it through our own experience. He is trying to bring the best social platform for us to use for free, but I don't understand why so many people are always annoyed with everything he does.

I want to ask, who are complaining about him, do you use twitter? Or are you using Mark Zuckerberg's Threads? . The worst social network I have ever experienced.

[Pingrapole]

I personally think Elon did nothing wrong Because people talk a lot before every job. Those who have successfully demonstrated success in business or running an organization will firstly encounter different things. It can be a kind of advertisement.Elon is not an ordinary guy, he has been successful in everything he has tried to do, so I don't think Elon Musk's decision will be wrong. At the end of the day, he is expected to succeed.Many things are heard now which are nothing but rumors. After a few days, it will be understood whether he is successful or not.He doesn't sit back after hearing various rumors, he edits Twitter in different ways, different elements, different versions so that the idea that people have inside is crossed, and it goes on very successfully.We have heard for a while that he will sell Twitter, but he has not yet done, so He decided to sell X because we should know that there are more users I think that in order to manage well in any organization first it should be revealed on the employees of the organization because if there are more senior officers in the organization the progress in that organization is less because they are, It is very important to include newcomers in spending more precious time in leisure
Although it may be temporarily downgraded, experienced people are never defeated and will eventually succeed
Last but not least, I personally think Elon is selling Twitter That is completely false. Maybe the owner, officer or employee of the organization didn't even think about it, but we are thinking because we want to know more about the wrong or misconception or try to say it is not really correct.Knowingly it is not right to say anything and I think he did nothing wrong.

These planned changes are actually good, one platform for almost everything we want and need for online socializing. However, I think the reason why there are people who have negative feedback or opinions in regard to Elon Musk is that they are avid fans of the old Twitter or are just plainly against Elon Musk for some reason. Granted, we cannot please everyone, especially after the big rebranding of Twitter that everyone was already used to, but if they can only see how much Elon is changing the game they'll notice how unlike other social media sites he actually asks for opinions and is making big changes that makes Twitter more useful and handly for its users.

I don't know about everyone else but as far as X is right now, I'm liking most of what I'm seeing.

Elon Musk is a known business man who has loads of ideas on how to drive a business to success but I do not consider his approach to twitter the best as it has now become more restricted than it used to be and also somewhat different from what Musk initially intended for it to be. First was that he wanted it to be censorship free and free for all but now, the regulations in twitter is more than there ever was or intended.

I think Elon is trying to recoup his investment but he might be going about it the wrong way.

So true. Without having to be praised, Elon continues to make progress with Twitter. There may be a lot of news spread by Elon's competitors that makes Elon's good name sometimes questionable. But in reality Elon is a hard worker. He works more than he talks. And a few moments ago when the Threads application was launched. We see a lot of negative comments on Twitter. Many say that Twitter will lose the competition. But take a look now. Twitter even already has a license to pay with crypto if I remember correctly. So if Elon wants Twitter to be able to launch a crypto payment system then he just has to do it. Because it looks like he already has permission.

elon selling twitter?  where is the official news that contains this news, Elon Musk deliberately bought Twitter because he saw Twitter as the most exciting social media platform and has active daily users in the world, different from other social media, so he won't sell Twitter easily,
but regarding Twitter users after the rebranding to X it went down, quite a lot was reported, even the decline became 4%, from what I noticed, Elon is currently trying to keep his users active on X aka Twitter by creating paid accounts for the content creators or accounts that have great appeal (influencers) and I don't think Elon is doing anything wrong about the business he is running, I just support him in his expertise in managing business and seeing opportunities but in the crypto world I hate him lol

[uneng]

Now, I'm sure Elon Musk did think about these changes before he applied them, having his own reasons for even coming up with these ideas. However, from the backlash he is getting from a lot of users, I believe it was indeed better if we had built his own social media platform from scratch instead of buying Twitter that a lot of people already have an established opinion and experience using.

I believe what he did when bought Twitter was to buy a wide community of toxic internet users. He wants to be in direct touch with these people, because he knows how to feed them and keep them active virtually inside an environment they feel it's safe and confortable for them, while they generate traffic, engagement and lots of polemics through fake news, retarded memes, demotivating or extremist ideas and opinions regards the world.

Twitter or X is a pool of useless informations posted in real time which can lead someone to waste their whole day or life scrolling their feed with the content I mentioned above. Not that another social medias are much different from that, but I guess X has an extra pinch of sadism others lack, thanks to the 'genius' of Musk.

From a rational and unscrupulous point of view aiming only financial and influence gains, he did nothing wrong. It's working greatly for him...

[panganib999]

Actively joked about buying twitter, when the executives are calling him out of his bullcrap he flinched, but they pressed on and even attempted legal charges against him which forced him to buy Twitter. Tried so hard to make money off of his most stupid purchase ever, that he started charging people for something that was exclusive and free back then which caused utter turmoil and chaos from fake accounts trolling the whole platform. When things died down he went ahead and made yet another stupid decision by rebranding twitter to X all because of his "X" obsession back in the days of Paypal and cause he's suffering from midlife crisis, which tanked the twitter valuation making it even more impossible for him to sell twitter should he decide to.

He basically trolled himself all because he wanted to look cool on the internet.

I don't think Twitter (X) is too toxic a community, I've met a lot of gaming communities that I could call really toxic.
On the contrary, the Twitter community is one of the most influential in the world. And this is true, because ministers of different countries and presidents have been registered there, and there are also many official accounts of different campaigns that make quite official statements there.
Therefore, this is a great investment for Elon Musk, he has gained the power to manipulate in a place that allows him to manipulate the most unpredictable place on earth - the cryptocurrency exchange.

On the contrary, the Twitter community is one of the most influential in the world. And this is true, because ministers of different countries and presidents have been registered there, and there are also many official accounts of different campaigns that make quite official statements there.

That is why it's toxic: it's full of politicians and their followers spreading agendas and fake news to turn citizens against citizens for political gains and benefits, reaching a huge public.

I understand there is a positive aspect on this for presidents and ministers, that is to share news in real time with the country, but I think the negative aspect overcomes the positive one, because greedy people don't have any ethics or respect for the truth when they only seek for power at all costs. So the volume of garbage and lies posted there surpass the volume of worthful posts.

In the world we have today, ignorance and idolatry prevail, and X has become a perfect tool for spreading both...

[Kakmakr]

I think one of the major mistakes that Elon Musk made with Twitter, was to try and monetize it too quickly. (Subscription option) .... because most people see Twitter as a "free" service. 

He also fired too many experienced people too quickly to make a statement.    His motivation for this seemed to be to "clean" out the people that apposed his vision.... or those that supported the "old" Twitter. 

The re-branding was also not necessary, because Twitter is a well-known global brand and it is a waste of money to market the new name. 

[Haunebu]

Elon Musk is an overrated dude and he has literally proven that again and again. He is very intelligent for sure, but he is not some sort of celestial entity who turns whatever he touches to gold or something.

Twitter is one of those examples where he messed up big-time by trying to do something different which didn't sit well with the mainstream audience. His arrogance clearly screwed him over in this case.

Also, what the heck is X? He comes up with idiotic names for things/people. Twitter is way better in comparison.

Alright, this is more like a hate post for Elon Musk now. Yes, he made some questionable decisions but I really don't think everything he did after buying Twitter was bad. According to Elon Musk he chose the name X cause it is a symbol that pertains to imperfection that makes everyone unique and as the social media platform is use to present and express one's self then it's like stating that you can express your unique self there. Nevertheless, what Elon names Twitter or X doesn't matter as he owns it and it is not new that businessmen who buys already existing products and companys rebrands it to create a new image for them. If you actually use Twitter/X now and you are one of the million simple users of the platform who just likes to tweet and stay updated regarding news and whatnot, you will not feel the changes Elon applied (aside from the UI being darker and the name).

See, what people don't see is X is still in the midst of changes and a lot of updates have yet to be settled. Elon Musk bought Twitter for a reason and to do something with it, we all just need to see and wait.

[Crypt0Gore]

I am in no position to judge someone like Elon Musk, because since the day I was born I've never build anything that's useful for the masses, I always laugh at people who judge those who are 1000 levels above them, like what the hell?

It's too early to call someone like him (Elon) a dumb person because people like him always have their plans and goals, while worrying about if they do something wrong or right why not worry about ourselves?

It's only those who have done something for the world can talk about Elon Musk, you can't be a empty barrel and come out in the open saying that this man ruined Twitter or something, line what the hell did you know anyway?

[xSkylarx]

Elon did nothing wrong.

He kicked them useless employees because they were doing more harm then good. They were democrat sjw’s and let’s be honest nobody likes them other than the other democrat sjw’s. I like the current state of twitter more tbh. It is a lot more entertaining and even DJT sent a new tweet lately which means x is on the right path. Elon did the right thing buying twitter. Now he can promote anything he wants without any fear of getting censored by any democrat fuckwits like Dorsey or zuck.

This is what he is preparing to upgrade for the social network Twitter, a full-featured social network that is essential to us. So what is Elon doing wrong? We don't even need anyone to praise him for what he does, but feel it through our own experience. He is trying to bring the best social platform for us to use for free, but I don't understand why so many people are always annoyed with everything he does.

I want to ask, who are complaining about him, do you use twitter? Or are you using Mark Zuckerberg's Threads? . The worst social network I have ever experienced.

Why do others always want to spread hate? You are very right why we keep complaining about the updates, and that update you posted is really good, which is less hassle to us because they don't require now numbers. Again, I don't idolize Elon, but his work is great, and he is the kind of person who wants humanity to have comfort. I rarely use Twitter as I am on other social media platforms, but I do sometimes question why we are using another app for messaging since it can only be added to one app, which is what Elon is doing.

[Haunebu]

I have no idea why anyone in their right mind would think that X sounds okay when Twitter is the perfect name for it. He gave his kid an absurd name which goes to show that he isn't great at naming stuff.

Also, billionaires like Musk don't really need reasons to buy anything in this world. Think!

It hasnt fallen yet, to turn a ship around you must first come to full stop.  Its quite possible in 'fixing' any apparent flaws in the business it might be that he has to risk this appearance of failure at least.  I think its been said the platform continues to gain users, its only the doubts of advertisers that promotes the idea he has failed in some way.
   I should add its not just quantity but the demographics of your userbase that can bring an advertising premium, I would probably use that to judge Elon Musk's tenure and if his emphasis on quality vs bot traffic he complained about is true.

As long as there are still many users for the Twitter platform, the social media platform will continue to run and I also agree with you on this because when a platform has not stopped operating and there are still many users who enjoy using it, it means that Elon Musk still cannot be said to have failed in this matter. Even though advertisers say otherwise because they also want to make it easier to stick ads in order to be able to make profits through the platform.

thats true but I doubt that the platform itself is gaining any users though, its more or less the same or even less userbase than it was before acquired by elon for the simple fact that elon is trying hard to get rid all of those bots accounts that might affect the platform itself.
but I do somewhat agree that to turn ship around you must first come to full stop in this case elon has given good business decision that helps him tremendously in term of gaining that money that was spent for acquiring the platform through method of subscription to their twitter plans, added with the fact that he's trying to give back to the community by giving some kind of money earning method for those influencers.
good solution coming from him I guess, despite the fact that there are bad critiques about the decision he's making right now.

Honestly, I don't understand what people who are a little cynical about the changes made by Elon on Twitter are saying. Even though so far I think Twitter is planned to be a much more useful social media. Not just a place to vent and advertise products. But it will also become a social media that supports cross-border payments. And even now Twitter users can also earn income by becoming premium users. The point is that many positive things have also continued to emerge after the changes made by Elon. It's just that not many publish it. I think people have to start being careful what they say. Because indirectly they can defame the good name of the Twitter owner himself. talk about reputation. Recently Elon Musk or X is also suing the ADL for defamation.

First, before discussing what Elon did wrong to twitter, we must understand what is righr for twitter? You dont like that employees were fire, but what if bots are more effective? You say that the app is boring. But it has barely changed. We still write post and insert pictures and smiles into it. Like 3-6 years ago. Turns to be that it was boring before Elon bought it. Right?

Elon bought and owned it so he knows what is right or wrong for it. We can't do much about his decisions and if we don't like it, then we are free to leave. I only don't know if what do you mean by " what if bots are effective "? But the bots effectiveness can depend on the ability of the people who deploy them. Ever since Elon obtained Twitter/X, a lot of things have changed and it doesn't stop there.

Elon is doing his best to produce a lot of profit out of it and maybe to make it look better for some users? For me, I love the old Twitter compared to this new one ( X ) but like I said earlier, what can I do? Nothing, but I still continue using it.

Yep, our opinions don't really matter to Elon as he can do anything he want since it's his company. Elon is fond of AI, bot and other autonomous technology and it's pretty obvious (Tesla). I think the way that twitter work nowadays is fine and not much changed in user experience aside from the payment for that blue check. No matter how Elon change the twitter, for sure we will still use it unless we will change platform. I wonder why there aren't any twitter like crypto social media that is actively being used nowadays. I believe that there's a lot of project that has a social media products, why aren't anyone that had succeed so far.

It's only those who have done something for the world can talk about Elon Musk, you can't be a empty barrel and come out in the open saying that this man ruined Twitter or something, line what the hell did you know anyway?

People who frequently utilize the application could also have opinions about how good or bad the app has gotten. You don’t need create something useful for the public or to solve the problems of the world to have opinions of how something should be run.
For you, Elon may have done something good for the world, it should be noted that his actions are first in his best interests. He’s a business man after all and would obviously want to profit from any venture.
Even empty barrels have the freedom to express their views.

[ichsan ardi]

Wait a minute I used to think online is the next generation if your not going online your toast but elon musk just lost funds in Twitter trying to take it fully online. He sacked almost all the employees ,replaced them with bots and now he is trying   to sell it . Don't mistake me I'm not trying to criticise the dude but i don't get why this happened for real his plan was nice trying to reduce cost of work . But what went wrong
Twitter usage is really going down I think the app is more boring . What do you think we all know elon this might be another business Strategy right

there's nothing wrong with twitter now i think elon must have a strategy behind all of this there must be something big why i say like that let's look at it backwards mark launched thereads a rival application twitter but i think people just fomo after the trend ended the average person I'm going back to what I used to be, namely Twitter

Something we need to pay attention to is that Elon made a breakthrough that most people see as being very brave to take risks, but I think it is a way to make a profit in the future, because he is a businessman, and that is something that sometimes our minds can't think about. like what he did, in fact he could become one of the richest people in the world, it shows that the basis of his thinking has been recognized, we can only predict and wait for what he does to bear fruit later.

Also, billionaires like Musk don't really need reasons to buy anything in this world. Think!

But he does have a reason, he stated it before (https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/why-elon-musk-bought-twitter). You see Elon isn't just a random Billionaire, he's a businessman who invests and buys things for a reason. A successful businessman like him has plans, they don't just randomly buy stuff because they are rich, and that's what separates rich from successful. If Elon Musk doesn't have a reason to buy Twitter he wouldn't put much effort into rebranding it and applying changes to it, he can just let it be and sit there knowing the world knows he owns it. You all need to realize that we are talking about a businessman here, who despite already being a billionaire, still wants to earn more. As much as I disagree some of Elon Musk's decisions I always keep in mind that he's a well-known successful businessman and he knows things we don't know, like for example: his plans.

And actually I feel that X(Twitter) will be even more in demand when the platform fully supports cross-border money transfers. Because of Elon's plan on X (Twitter) I think it's a pretty big plan. So it would be natural for him to make some seemingly odd decisions after he became the owner of Twitter. And X (Twitter) is increasingly receiving Remittance Licenses. for example, X (Twitter) recently received a money transmitter license for payment services in Mississippi. That's what I read from WatcherGuru.

Though I totally agree with your opinion that someone who hasn't done anything in life shouldn't criticize others, I believe everyone has the right to voice their opinions when they see something happening, and having a discussion about what might have gone wrong isn't really a very bad thing. He is a billionaire, a very successful businessman who has earned his worth all by himself which makes him a self-made billionaire that is on top right now.

However, who says that billionaires don't make mistakes or make wrong decisions? They do, they are normal human beings just like us, so if they make a mistake and people discuss it, I don't really think there is anything wrong with that as long as people aren't saying anything immoral.

Billionaires are also human and making mistakes is inevitable. Yes, we can discuss with each other and voice our opinions, but don't look down on them, gloat or consider them stupid if their plans don't work out. I completely agree with what Crypt0Gore said, we can't even take care of our lives and our loved ones so we have no right to criticize Elon or anyone else who has a life better than us.

Many people are laughing at Elon for buying Twitter and causing it to decline...but they should look at themselves and see what they have better than him and what they have done. Or just people who don't have a stable income and like to criticize others.

This is a forum and we have the right to discuss and share all issues, but we need to know who we are, where we stand and what we have. Don't pretend to be smarter than others when our income and life are not equal to anyone else's. There are many humble people but it's hard to understand how there are so many people who have nothing but are so arrogant. This world is so colorful  .

Of course billionaires can make mistakes, it can even be argued that it is some of those mistakes that leads them to their path of success. It is also normal for people to discuss and critically analyze their actions and decisions. However, what is not right and normal is acting as if these billionaires are stupid and we are better than them just because they made a questionable decision or did something that does not fall with our beliefs or understandings. Constructive criticism is normal, especially for public figures like Elon Musk, but the public should understand that Musk is a person too and isn't here to pleased us all.

This is evidence that successful individuals must continue experimenting and researching to ensure their products remain competitive and proven. You might perceive Elon Musk's recent setbacks as a decline in revenue, but on the flip side, there's an argument that if he develops a robotics-based project, he could potentially become a pioneer who disrupts the international career landscape.

Failure serves as fuel on the path to success, and as long as Elon Musk's finances remain stable, he will persist with ideas that are even ahead of our time.

I'm more intrigued by what novel creations a genius might conjure using Twitter as their experimental canvas. Could it possibly yield something more valuable than Twitter itself?

[Casdinyard]

A lot. As many people have already mentioned, Elon Musk was kind of forced into buying twitter, he initially joked about it, which the whole executive board of twitter, dying as they know the platform is, called him out upon and made him buy the site.

Twitter is already dying even before Elon came in, he just made it more apparent and even forced people into paying for a dying and bleeding platform just so he can cut back on his losses. Twitter blue that was supposed to not even be paid and only exclusive to people who are recognized worldwide suddenly became easily accessible leading to chaos and panic ensuing, a couple of other shenanigans like actually changing Twitter to X all because of a shtick he couldn't let go ever since his early days at paypal, and a lot more that I just can't list cause it's going to take us a whole day to finish.

Elon Musk may not have killed Twitter, but he's going to be the catalyst to its end. There's just no better alternative to it as of this moment cause Threads is basically useless and Mastodon is more on the crypto side of the spectrum which is not necessarily something that sits well with all people, but soon as one comes up it's going to be over for the blue bird or in this case, the black X.

as we put it, the end justifies the means. we don't know yet the future impact of what he is doing right now, but for sure, he has plans. of course, not to be bankrupt as he is a businessman. we may not understand his route today, but may be in the near future we will see its importance.
i don't think he will be choosing path that will destruct his investments. and if nothing else, his money is on the line, so whatever he decides to do, he will be the one who will suffer or reap the rewards.

Exactly, it's as simple as that. Elon Musk is a businessman, billionaire or not, he will not be doing something that will cause him to lose profit. He is a well-known businessman which should be one thing we need to keep in mind despite a number of confusing and questionable decisions he had made when he bought Twitter (now X). Elon Musk has a plan but we have yet to know and understand what it is, and we honestly don't need to (at least in his case) as we are not a part of it. We have to remember that we are just outsiders in his world, we just so happen to know what is shown to the public regarding him, his investments, and some of his decisions.

Especially in the last two years, Elon has made great manipulations in financial markets using Twitter and has increased his popularity considerably. He bought Twitter because he is the richest person in the world and earns more money while increasing his popularity through this social media. Although there has been no good progress for Twitter after this purchase process it has been managing the platform with the decisions it has been making for a long time.

I haven't seen any news about him wanting to sell Twitter and I think this claim is unfounded because it is just a rumor with no source. If there is a news source that you think is particularly reliable about this situation I would like you to share it with us.

Well he indeed used Twitter for promoting any coins he want such as Shiba which really manipulated it's price and many people invested at it. Not only due to he is rich that's why he bought Twitter, we all know that Twitter is the most known platform worldwide and it has many users so just a simple Tweet there's a lot of people could get the information. I think he's just slowly progressing for people to not be overwhelm from the big changes of Twitter to becoming as X, cause by just simply changing the logo and it's name there's already a lot of comments about it what more if the entire Twitter. Just wait for it, for sure he's planning again for manipulating something with the use of X or he will announce big news.

At first, he was just using this platform to pump some cryptocurrencies as you mentioned but then he also did some subtle things to increase the value of the company's stocks. Because he shared such posts about the prices of both cryptocurrencies and stocks many people started to follow him and his popularity continued to increase day by day. Of course, the only reason he bought this platform was not that he was the richest person in the world but having strong capital was a great advantage for him to be able to buy a Twitter. Being the sole shareholder of the Twitter platform was one of the factors that contributed the most to his ability to make changes as he wanted on his own today.

If we look at today's usage platform X with its new name has become a platform where many news are shared instantly and it's gaining more users every day. As you mentioned, this will of course make a great contribution to the announcement of very important news and similar content here in the future.

In summary, Twitter, formerly known as X, has begun to transform into a multi-use platform rather than a social media platform.

I can't say for sure whether Elon Musk got it wrong or right.  But his sudden purchase of Twitter and appointment of himself as CEO was quite surprising.  Also my opinion on staff changes is that no job is permanent for anyone, it keeps changing.Also we can predict that the next generation will be mostly dominated by bots and robots.  I don't know exactly. There must be some reason behind it. Maybe Twitter is not what it used to be and it's boring because of that or some other reason.

Wait a minute I used to think online is the next generation if your not going online your toast but elon musk just lost funds in Twitter trying to take it fully online. He sacked almost all the employees ,replaced them with bots and now he is trying   to sell it . Don't mistake me I'm not trying to criticise the dude but i don't get why this happened for real his plan was nice trying to reduce cost of work . But what went wrong
Twitter usage is really going down I think the app is more boring . What do you think we all know elon this might be another business Strategy right

I don't think there's anything wrong, what is certain is that someone like Elon doesn't have a plan, which is almost impossible. Even though the planning is strange, creative people and geniuses are different.
Geniuses definitely survive first. There are 2 choices:
1. If he fails he learns and improves
2. If he succeeds, he gets his next level goals
When you are afraid of failure, success will become a dream.

So in my opinion, firing almost all employees, even firing the CEO, was not a mistake or making a hasty decision, it was done because we had taken into account what would happen in the future.

Elon didn't buy Twitter because it was a sensible and strategic business acquisition. Ego bought twitter because he is an egomaniac that used it to spout numerous conspiracy theories and his own crazed brand of dissociated billionaire trash. He think's he holds revolutionary ideas, but in reality he has been surrounded by yes men for so long that he no longer has any boundaries and has built up a distorted view of how he thinks the world should operate, mainly based around authoritarian leader style behavior. He simply wants to control the conversations on his most popular podium for spreading his diseased messages, and the only way he has complete freedom to do that is by owning the platform. It's great in a way because he threw away tens of billions worth of his wealth in the process of buying it.

[Captain Corporate]

Personally, I use Twitter almost every day for many hours, so even if he screwed it up, I unfortunately keep using it. Secondly, the "pay to enjoy" style wasn't there before, even though many people could say that "it's his company and he has the right to charge people if he wants to" it still doesn't change the fact that what was once free, becoming a priced thing will of course anger a lot of people, its just how it is. There are also technological issues, like videos getting stuck, replies not loading, or analytics not working, the latest is they removed repost names as a popup but instead, a new page, who would think that is needed? So there is some stuff, but unfortunately, I still keep using it.

I think Elon wants twitter to be a place for Open AI to work, especially to deal with rampant bots. Regarding his appointment as CEO and dismissal of employees, in a company there must be a culture that is formed, and when that culture does not match the vision and mission of the owner or owner then maintaining it can actually be a problem for the company's future.

Ordinary people like us will definitely say: this is crazy, even though the reason is like that. However, to Elon Musk: oh, I'm not done yet. For me, a strategy like this is a common thing that makes us react more, be confused, mysterious, and which is definitely an advantage, it's just that humans have different points of view.

In a direct answer to your question about "what mistakes did Musk make in Twitter?" I can answer you simply: The biggest mistake Musk made after the platform purchase deal was that he appointed himself directly as its CEO. All the decisions that followed were because the owner of the platform imagined himself capable of running it despite his lack of the necessary experience. And if he really intends to sell the platform today, then this may be the wisest decision, confirming his inability to continue management without the necessary experience.

I don't think Elon musk lacks that experience in running the defunct platform twitter as you claim, to me he's running it the best way any other CEO given the privilege would have ran it. It just that there's much competition regarding social media platforms with plenty discussion engagement social platforms here and there. Human love to try new things when they just developed same happened with twitter now X when it first launched so we shouldn't expect it to continually hold an increasing number of active users as before in the face of new emerging competitive social platforms.

Not really seeing those changes that much but rather it is really just been ran off with a new management and having a new name and some alterations in functions but in overall it is really just the same.There might

be users who had really that decided on leaving the platform but for sure there are those new sign ups and as long it would be continue to up and running then it would really be that typical on the business must go on.
Not really that totally shocking if people or the community around would really be having those negative words or criticisms basing up on how Elon did make such decision on how to ran off that former platform Twitter now called "X" which its none of our business on how he would really be doing it because its his company then he do have that full rights and decisions basing up on what he do have in mind.

There's no such thing about being wrong since its your business and you do completely own it, which its understandable that if it do needs some tweaking then do it and we know
that Elon is unpredictable when it comes to sudden changes which it isnt really that shocking anymore.

[ingiltere]

Twitter has never been a super app. Writing something in 140 characters and then leaving it has always seemed ridiculous to me. Why would we need a platform just to write short sentences? The most important feature of Twitter was that it had "trending" words. However, this was quickly manipulated and became useless.
It seems strange to me that people still use Twitter. Bots dominate whole app for some time. Elon Musk paid too much for Twitter and I'm sure he regrets it now. These types of applications reach a certain peak and at that time the creator makes good money by selling the application. The buyer becomes the last sucker. Elon is the last sucker here.

[blockman]

Personally, I use Twitter almost every day for many hours, so even if he screwed it up, I unfortunately keep using it.

As long as you're enjoying using it and you've got networks there, whether he ends up doing something bad or not, you'll still going to use it. Especially for the business accounts there that have been with their brands, nothing will stop them in using it. It was allowed before to use them without even logging in as you can see contents but it looks now they have disabled that feature and you need to be logged in.

the "pay to enjoy" style wasn't there before, even though many people could say that "it's his company and he has the right to charge people if he wants to" it still doesn't change the fact that what was once free, becoming a priced thing will of course anger a lot of people, its just how it is.

So there is some stuff, but unfortunately, I still keep using it.

It's because that you've been used to it, was the pay to enjoy is like the blue badge or there's some other else with that? I have used it way way back before and a lot has changed since I've checked them out.

[fruktik]

Well he indeed used Twitter for promoting any coins he want such as Shiba which really manipulated it's price and many people invested at it. Not only due to he is rich that's why he bought Twitter, we all know that Twitter is the most known platform worldwide and it has many users so just a simple Tweet there's a lot of people could get the information. I think he's just slowly progressing for people to not be overwhelm from the big changes of Twitter to becoming as X, cause by just simply changing the logo and it's name there's already a lot of comments about it what more if the entire Twitter. Just wait for it, for sure he's planning again for manipulating something with the use of X or he will announce big news.

He is the owner of this social network and has every right to do with it whatever comes to his mind. Almost all restrictions on any actions have been lifted. Before the purchase there was no such freedom, but now...
For those who like to quickly make money, it is recommended to carefully follow Musk’s publications. At any moment, he will throw out a post about some crypto project and the price will fly up at a rapid speed.
To be honest, I don’t like this kind of activity. There is an opportunity to say goodbye to your money just as quickly. This has already been observed. Let everyone decide for themselves what they want.

[asyakashi]

Elon has always been smart when it comes to business. I'm afraid to criticize Elon Musk now. Even though it looks like he suffered big losses because he wanted to replace his employees with bots on Twitter, he actually sold Twitter. I think this is part of the strategy that we don't know about. because what I know is that this person is even able to raise the price of meme coins like Dogecoin to become a big coin. let's wait for the next surprise from Elon Musk.

[dothebeats]

So there is some stuff, but unfortunately, I still keep using it.

The "pay to enjoy" style as you called it, also known as premium subscription, has benefits other than having the blue check mark to identify your account as verified by the platform. However, I agree with you that there have been a lot of changes in Twitter (now called X) that are questionable and made my formerly lovely time using the platform pretty boring and frustrating at times. I have also been using the social media platform almost every day for hours on end for about 5-6 years now, and I can say that it was never stable anyway. Twitter was full of issues even before Elon Musk bought it, from tweets not loading and troll accounts everywhere that took way too long to get banned, and even updates that they have to take back because of users' negative feedback, Twitter was never a super app or platform, at least not against its other social media competitors. So if you think about it these issues that are coming out of the surface have long been there, they are just more prominent now because of the rebrand and how Elon Musk now owns the platform.

Elon Musk is accustomed to leading projects that have no competitors and where the possibility of making mistakes is more likely, but there are always opportunities to rectify since the market is almost devoid of competition. Musk's decision to buy the Twitter platform would not have been the least wise if he had appointed management specialists, because the "social media" market has old competitors who control all the details of the field and it is not easy to keep up with the pace of development it is going through. Nearly a year has passed since the purchase deal was completed, and the platform has declined at all levels, whether revenues or degree of demand.

Twitter was a good and standard social media and it was not used by all classes of people like Facebook. Twitter was mostly used by celebrity businessmen such people. And yet Twitter is considered a good medium for crypto project promotion. So Elon Musk's decision to buy Twitter wasn't a bad one. But I don't think it is very logical to change Twitter's name and logo to X. This decision may have been a wrong decision.  Due to this, the popularity on Twitter has decreased a lot.  But I don't know what Elon Musk's main purpose is.  But since he is a brilliant businessman, he cannot be trusted to make any wrong decisions. Maybe this is also a good and secret strategy of his. Through which he can beat Facebook

As you said, we don't know what his real intentions were when he decided to buy Twitter, so how can we easily assume he's making a mistake with Twitter? We never know what other people think, so how can we judge others so hastily? We all know Twitter is a social network for businessmen and politicians, and the fact that he succeeded in bringing former President Trump back to this social network to prepare for the upcoming election, so that was a mistake or the right decision?

In business, a temporary decrease in sales is normal, we should not rush to judge them as failures when they only lost money for 1 year. I want to know, have any of you ever started any businesses, because people are pretty quick to conclude that Elon and Twitter are failing? I don't have any judgment because I'm just an ordinary person and he is the richest person in the world, all I can do is watch the developments to learn a few things.

in my opinion I think he assumed a role he wasn't really prepared for. Although he made lots of changes that led to the significant reduction of active users, but in other to salvage the situation he upgraded the application X to accommodate content creators, paying users with high interactions but that's was a medium to boost the users on the said application, so far this medium hasn't really proved to make any significant difference but its a move in the right direction.

[mich]

Well we can say this Elon Musk did alot wrong with Twitter. He has lost so much money with it. And there is advertisers who do not want to advertise anymore on Twitter.

And now it got a money transfer license in Arkansas. So Elon Musk is losing money right now. And we have to think that he has some plans in the future.

[DeathAngel]

In my opinion Elon has made Twitter (X) better. He has returned free speech, somewhat. You are less likely to get banned or silenced for having views that aren’t left wing & woke. I enjoy the platform more since he has taken over. Also the guy is one of the smartest people in the world. He will turn Twitter (X) into a money making machine. There are already rumours he will implement a peer to peer payment system on the app later in 2024.

[bakasabo]

Those who are leaving here answers with what Elon did wrong to Twitter, you should specify that this actions were made only in short period, but in long term period we cant predict the future of Twitter. The fact that market value of companies is lower than it was when he has bought it, does not show that he did something wrong. For example we have cryptocurrency whos prices went down for 50-90% from ATH in 2021. We did not call all those projects as fails, did not we? I would say that there are a lot of questions and misunderstanding towards decisions he has already made after purchase, but it is to early to talk about fall of Twitter.

[0t3p0t]

Maybe Elon has plans and we all know he is an ambitious guy he is not contented with just one idea and that guy is not afraid of failure so I think he is preparing for something that is why he did that to X formerly "Twitter". No one knows his plans really, do you?

[gunhell16]

Maybe the only thing I'm really not in favor of is that there was a subscription every month for everyone who uses his Twitter apps; I just don't know if it really worked. Because when I heard about this, I didn't really use Twitter anymore. Did the monthly subscription really continue? We also have KYC; is it mandatory?

I haven't used Twitter apps for over a year now. What I do is peek every now and then without opening an account; I just find out what's on the Twitter apps.

[STT]

The assumption is Elon did something wrong when its more easily observed he did something different and thats all you have to do to cause trouble.   He thinks its worth it but also true is its likely he overpaid for what was there including the fake accounts and so on, he paid for all that;  its not really the case that the mistake was perfection existed beforehand and now its been ruined.    The comments will vary by the userbase which is diverse, free users to many professionals I know rely on twitter for fast communications, trading for example but probably a few industries. 
   I think Elon's aim is to retain the paying base and the free users will either follow or drift elsewhere but arent his main concern especially.   The main reason not to assume failure is the time frame is too brief, most of it is the deflation of the exaggeration to the worth of twitter which is not the first instance I've seen that.  HP is suing the owner of their purchase to the point he may be jailed for false accounting, tech is highly variable to say the least.

Advertiser like disney he can do without it. There are thousand of companies wishing to advertise on X.
Most here use the BBC tenor against Elon handling of twitter, its his by christ sake, he can run it in the ground.
Not more than 20 to 30% is actually his money,

https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/how-will-elon-musk-pay-twitter-2022-10-07/

I bet he used that deal also to have some cash for himself. Most of the so called wealthy have mostly values in shares and holdings.

[btc78]

Some advertisers seem to have lost faith over twitter or elon musk but what is most important is that users of twitter are still increasing by second so i do not think he is in deep trouble with twitter at least for now

I do think he has implemented some features that are really good and useful i hope he brings back the close friends feature and i hope he gets to develop it even further

To have a free speech might be better but there are still plenty of new things that I dislike, such as there are now annoying ads. And then there are now premium/paid features. Maybe you can say that I'm just a poor boy because I can't afford them. I actually can but I'm no way of paying for something that I can use freely on other social media sites.

You are right that he is turning Twitter into a money-making machine, but does that sound great to you? How much is the cut you will get from their sales? Elon is one of the smartest but sometimes he is also dumb. Apart from the Twitter side, and others, he also hates BTC and then he supports meme coin over it.

[WillyAp]

he also hates BTC and then he supports meme coin over it.

I doubt he hates it.
Hardly anyone of the mass payment like stripe is taking BTC. Its too slow and in the time you pass it on you could be 2% up or down.

Elon is a control freak, but one that has had a few lucky breaks when it came to business. He made a lot of money from his stake in Paypal, which allowed him to buy many talented people and fund different ideas. If he wasn't such an arrogant and stuck up asshole, he might be a role model for how to be a billionaire with some of the pioneering companies he has backed. However he definitely has an ego problem and isn't anywhere near as smart as he thinks. He also doesn't like when people question him, so when he decided to make Twitter his soapbox and was rich enough to buy it, it meant that nobody could then talk badly about him over there. However he never had a plan beyond that and spent way over the odds to buy it.

[shinratensei_]

Maybe Elon has plans and we all know he is an ambitious guy he is not contented with just one idea and that guy is not afraid of failure so I think he is preparing for something that is why he did that to X formerly "Twitter". No one knows his plans really, do you?

hes quite literally stated that he's planning to use his platform twitter which now named X to start out a super app for financial that could replace bank but we don't know how serious he is when he's saying this thing.
but we all know that maybe if his X is failing it could be his other resort to revive the platform again so to not waste his previous billions spending for the platform itself.
its kinda obvious that with past experience of building paypal and also right now with him having twitter, he truly intends to make something sort of digital banking that directly integrated with social media since thats what most people are using anyway.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Don't mistake me I'm not trying to criticise the dude

Coulda fooled me.

I had high hopes when I heard Musk was seriously going after Twitter, since I couldn't stand the platform and its left-leaning, censorship-heavy ways.  But it turned out that he really had no fucking clue what he was doing, didn't have a plan, and once the purchase of the company was made, he seemed to step back and grin gleefully at the pile of wreckage he'd just created.  So instead of making Twitter a better social media site, he just paid a lot of money to take a giant dump on it.

This is what you get when you have too much money and the nature of a troll.  Ugh.

[NotATether]

Doge has about 1% of the users as BTC (metric pulled straight outta my ass) so it doesn't make sense for Stripe to adopt it either. Why support payment methods that most people don't even use?

Here is a list of payment methods that are NOT accepted by most gateways:



And wire transfers are not on this list but they are not accepted either. Even Paypal is not accepted in many places despite its size. And that's not to say anything about Venmo, CashApp, Zelle, etc.

I enjoy the platform more since he has taken over. Also the guy is one of the smartest people in the world. He will turn Twitter (X) into a money making machine.

Yes that's the biggest thing that Elon have done. There were a lot of banned accounts during the pandemic time that they reactivated. The timing of these changes is also good for the upcoming US election since mass reporting for the sole purpose of silencing the ops isn't going to work.

There are already rumours he will implement a peer to peer payment system on the app later in 2024.

That would be awesome.

To have a free speech might be better but there are still plenty of new things that I dislike, such as there are now annoying ads.

Wait a minute I used to think online is the next generation if your not going online your toast but elon musk just lost funds in Twitter trying to take it fully online. He sacked almost all the employees ,replaced them with bots and now he is trying   to sell it . Don't mistake me I'm not trying to criticise the dude but i don't get why this happened for real his plan was nice trying to reduce cost of work . But what went wrong
Twitter usage is really going down I think the app is more boring . What do you think we all know elon this might be another business Strategy right

Elon Musk has spent so much to buy Twitter, he must try to make profit from it. He initially adopted a layoff strategy for the employer after buying all of Twitter's shares to cut costs, but the general public didn't take it positively. There are other things that he realized and tried to sell shares. He took various decisions including changes in various features of Twitter which reduced the popularity of Twitter. Moreover, he also had a plan to take money from the users, but when he realized that it would not be good for his business, he backed out of those plans. But currently he is progressing positively I think he will have no more problems now.

Money making machine? It would really be just that normal that he would really be definitely be trying to make things cope up when it comes to revenue.Yes, it did make
some criticism on that part specially on that blue and gold checkmark but it was really that being accepted afterwards. The thing i do like on such change on the time that he had owned Twitter
is that shit project profiles are easily that been banned or restricted or cant be accessed on which it is really that very helpful into those people who are really that a fan on investing on shitcoins
on which it did really turns out that this one is really that a good way or method on making yourself that being safety with those frauds.

Elon did wrong to Twitter? Its none of our business on what are the things that he would be doing into his own company. Its his and no matter what the things that he would really be
planning to integrate then its up to him. Its his company and he would really be that held responsible on the things that could happen along the way
so it would really be just that basing or depending on up.

[iv4n]

Here is a list of payment methods that are NOT accepted by most gateways:

Its about Elon hating Bitcoin.
Crypto has competition and that is good.

Why does Elon hate Bitcoin? It's a new moment for me... Today I saw some news about Twitter becoming a payment app as well, and that Elon will consider Bitcoin as well.

I don't cheer up for Elon or Twitter here, I don't have any interest in that, but what he is doing is a bit crazy and until now nobody could predict his next moves. I guess we need to give him credit for being "unpredictable", and in a "money-making game" that is a good thing. He is making more money and he keeps his spot as one of the richest persons in the world. So his moves count, one way or another.

One of Elon Musk's bad decisions was to change the name of Twitter to X. Due to which the Twitter platform has lost many users. But people are slowly starting to accept it now. Elon Musk is a very smart businessman, so he thinks about what he does, although he prefers to take sudden divisions. But he succeeds in most of his decisions. And corrects all his mistakes. So Elon Musk has nothing wrong with Twitter right now

I think that you're wrong about twitter being boring.

The thing is that social media general is gradually becoming boring because with the so many economic challenge that is hitting the world globally, people don't really give a dime on what's really  going on in that space, everyone is seriously about their business and only comes online once in a while to to clear off their head.

Even with this, twitter is still very active and functional, nothing on twoter is basically posted by her staff, twitter users are the ones responsible for how active or boring it is and if you think that twitter is becoming boring and you are concerned about it, maybe you should post more in it so it wouldn't be boring.

This buyout option was meant to be a gamechanger and keep the scammers at bay but it has backfired and the blue tick mark has lost it's significant. Twitter should first try and figure out a way to block all these scammers or increase their algorithms to identify the scammers or something like if a topic or post looks suspicious should be validated, there is a lot which can be done but a lot of efforts should be made by Trust & Safety, Engg & Product team and they got keep doing A/B testing and figure out a sustainable fix.

[Patrol69]

It is natural that when the ownership of a platform changes, its rules and staff will change. Before Elon Musk bought Twitter, the owner of the Twitter platform used to hire experienced HR executives at his discretion, but after Elon Musk bought Twitter for a huge sum of money, he definitely hired better employees than before. Elon Musk feels that the current employees he has hired are more experienced than the previous ones and the current employees will do a better job than the previous ones to increase the popularity of the Twitter platform. Since Elon Musk bought Twitter for a huge amount of money, he must have certain plans for this massive platform, and he is probably moving forward with those plans.
It wouldn't be surprising if there were more new rules on Twitter in the future.

Sounds easy but its not something that would really be giving out that precision on fighting with those scammers and fraud accounts no matter how they would really be making out that assessment but at least im showing that they are really that more active or really that having that close monitor comparing into that former Twitter management when it comes to those accounts which are basically that being used of scamming
or fooling people. We've seen that there are tons of fake project accounts had been blocked or shut down on which i could say that this is way more better than into those previous
management or simply into its owner. If ever people doesnt really like on whats the current things happening on Twitter now then you arent that forced on making
use of such platform.

Just like on what some members on saying on here that its none of our concern or business on how Elon would really be handling out his own company.Yes, you are free to make critcisms or words on whatever
you do have in mind, it would really be just that still depending on you whether you would really be agreeing or going against their decision, this is how business works on which there
would really be changes which it might give that kind of interest or would totally going against it.

Well I do think the best thing we can Elon Musk is doing. The new community notes makes it for people to be lesser chance of being scammed.
Some of those community notes have been very helpful for me. Because sometimes we do no know if what we are reading is real or not.

I could forgive Elon Musk for almost anything he was doing with Twitter but changing its name and logo? That I can't forgive. I mean that hideous X instead of the iconic cute little bird!

[bluebit25]

I could forgive Elon Musk for almost anything he was doing with Twitter but changing its name and logo? That I can't forgive. I mean that hideous X instead of the iconic cute little bird!

It's also interesting, "X" is a simple and mysterious symbol, so the name and image are not too much of a problem, we all see Elon's very unpredictable personality, he likes to experiment a lot. and thinking is always unpredictable.

Since X has policies that I think are quite harsh on users who have only been spamming before, it has helped somewhat bring about a cleaner environment in space. I remember when X paid for my area with subscribers to share revenue with the platform, most of the news was sweet and positive, what a marketing process, and indirectly create jobs. But there are still many problems that I feel like the fraud problem cannot be completely solved, but I can't blame Elon because he still has too much work to do, I also see some moves that he is making starting to get interested in crypto .

[STT]

I could forgive Elon Musk for almost anything he was doing with Twitter but changing its name and logo? That I can't forgive. I mean that hideous X instead of the iconic cute little bird!

At present they have both domains referring to the platform but Twitter is just a better name.   Literally they created a new verb, how many companies can say they altered the global lexicon with a new word which is also their brand name; that was real value its hard to argue he didnt destroy part of that value with being X instead.   However X also is unique and true to the extreme brief meta of twitter as it started out.   Theres only a few one letter domains allowed, most of the alphabet is banned but this and only a couple others pre date that rule so is some value.  Personally I would have kept that bird, agree tbh

[JeffBrad12]

I could forgive Elon Musk for almost anything he was doing with Twitter but changing its name and logo? That I can't forgive. I mean that hideous X instead of the iconic cute little bird!

well he shell out billions already to acquire the platform, let man do whatever he wanna do after all it seems he has some ulterior motive of transforming X as a platform into some super app that he said gonna replace traditional banking, well elon musk said it himself.
but I believe that after seeing twitter going down in valuation so much as well as losing some advertiser in the platform then it apparent that elon want to turn around the table trying to implement some new thing transforming twitter from just a mere social media into something thats more valuable overall even making it digital banking app in the future. its kinda apparent that he just couldn't let his billions down the drain.

[mich]

Yes and I do this too I see myself still calling his X by name of Twitter. It is just not a big thing for us to worry about. We can still call Meta Facebook too it is the same thing.

I don't know if any of you posting shit bout elon even use x, I don't see anything wrong with x as a social media platform, and how does reducing workers to save up more money seem to be a bad thing or be the cause of low x usage. I don't think any of this is facts, from where I stand, my phone, i still see my x notifications popping up, good threads to follow. Unless your the one with boring features on your app 🥲, maybe it was built different.

[JayTrain]

Interesting turn of events with Elon Musk and Twitter. His strategy to go fully online made sense, but perhaps the issues arose from a decline in interest in the app itself. For example, I started using it more often as crypto enthusiasts frequently check it – it's one of the main social platforms for cryptocurrency. And, to be honest, I don't feel much has changed with Elon Musk coming on board.

[mich]

Well Elon Musk does continue to make us all feel wrong. Because now he has received a money transfer license is the state of Utah. And now it is the 15th state to give this to him.

He is now getting closer to make Twitter his goal for transferring money peer to peer on Twitter.  https://www.reuters.com/technology/elon-musks-x-receives-money-transmitter-license-utah-2024-01-15/

I think that you're wrong about twitter being boring.

The thing is that social media general is gradually becoming boring because with the so many economic challenge that is hitting the world globally, people don't really give a dime on what's really  going on in that space, everyone is seriously about their business and only comes online once in a while to to clear off their head.

Perhaps you are the one I should not believe now. As inflation is bitting and the economy is not good in most countries, social media has never experienced a setback but an increase in activities. If you can prove this wrong, maybe you should post the proof. The money to do a regular internet subscription is not an issue with most people, and in my country, the subscription of some people that they can manage for a month can't feed them convincingly for a single day. So why now deprive yourself of the internet subscription when it is nothing to you? What most people are concerned about is how to be financially free, not that they are in abject poverty that will now make social media a taboo to them.

However, the X (formerly known as Twitter) has reduced compared to when Elon Musk started with it but got better a bit when he relieved himself and Linda Yaccarino took over around the middle of last year. She has been doing excellently well to keep Twitter functional but it can't still be like that time before Elon Musk purchased it. Musk on his own has a lot of enemies, or should I call them haters, so immediately he took over, tens of millions have said goodbye to X and have never returned. This could be attributed to his overbearing attitude and arrogance.

[pinggoki]

He became the CEO and then fired half of the workforce that's making the Twitter function as normal as it should and then realizing the mistake then rehires them, the moment that he suddenly became a megalomaniac on that platform became a nail in the coffin for the people to hate on him not to mention that he's not funny anymore, most of the memes that he's posting looked like it's forced. And also the fact that he named Twitter into X, that added more gasoline to the flames.

[kaka_Shipai]

Everything.
He actually started dealing with it like a business man, and put the price on everything. Even the tweets are now with a price tag.
He might get successful with that, but it has changed the whole theme of twitter. Now its more like a client-seller relation then the social media.
And the biggest blunder i think was the twitter logo. It was such a cute logo and an iconic one, which was changed by x.

Under Elons supervision twitter has gone through a lot of changes, so it is normal to observe some anomalies in the twitter environment. But I want to admit that twitter is more popular than before in terms of free speech. It is also the most popular social media platform within the crypto community beside discord and telegram. So not sure twitter is taking loss in revenue or not but what elon is doing is working fine till now. We can wrap up a conclution after few years. Lets see twitter can hold its position with its compititor or not.

i agree to this opinion to some extent, elon does do wrong by just going into the business oriented direction (well its a business from the start anyway otherwise he won't spend billions) and give price tag to everything, but it does speed up his money recovery, now twitter earning is compensated from that after losing so many advertisers back then there's no other way to earn money with the platform other than go into that direction, not to mention after elon bought twitter the sentiment against him becoming worse and worse and often he's labeled as a villain by some people.
even right now accessing twitter even to look at some thread require account sign in which might inconvenience to many people it just giving that gesture that elon himself just want to try to increase the userbase of twitter so to make money out of it.
the one thing that he fails though in getting rid of the bots in the platform.

He became the CEO and then fired half of the workforce that's making the Twitter function as normal as it should and then realizing the mistake then rehires them, the moment that he suddenly became a megalomaniac on that platform became a nail in the coffin for the people to hate on him not to mention that he's not funny anymore, most of the memes that he's posting looked like it's forced. And also the fact that he named Twitter into X, that added more gasoline to the flames.

yes he did fire so many people when he bought twitter but i think he has also replaced some work force with more competent ones, but we don't know for sure whats going on though its all just speculation at the end of the day but yes he become megalomaniac after owning twitter or is he already one even from the start? who knows.

[fruktik]

What's wrong with social network "X"? The winning back of positions after drawdown and purchase is quite successful. Musk will soon become a little richer. This is a natural development of events after the acquisition. It is necessary to organize work in the company properly. Yes, it took a lot longer than planned, as I understand it, but the result is obvious. I would now wait for a corrective movement and look for a good entry point into a position to buy shares.

It can take time for a company or stock to gain value. The market has its own mechanism. Elon bought Twitter and did not reach the expected value. That doesn't mean it won't be a more valuable company. Some things take time to happen. Maybe it will not be as expected and it will lose even more value, we don't know.

We can talk about different things every day about the value of an application that has no alternative, but as I said, I think the value of this application, which has no alternative and is among the most used applications, will increase over time. Maybe I'm wrong, we'll see over time. I do not give any advice in terms of investment.

As you said, I think this situation after purchasing is very normal.

[Ravichnadra]

Well - Now Twitter has become a Po*n. hub. He allowed anyone to post anything there was no policy.

Elon musk should fix it and also remove bots.

[mich]

And now there is a new account on Twitter. It is called X payments and people think it is the new payments that Elon Musk is tlaking about.
If it is for crypto then I think we are going to see Doge first. Now they have all the money transfer licenses so it is going to be not so long more.

[Mate2237]

I didn't hear such news in the social media and even in the national newsline though I am not a fan to X. X blocked my account when I strongly believed that I didn't do anything wrong so I am not seeing and hearing any news from X or formally known as Twitter. But recently I heard that Elon Musk using AI in must of his works.

And one thing I noticed is that people are using X more than when it was in Twitter.  And guy was telling me that it is because of the payment people received when your likes or impressed are more than  one million. Well I am not interested in that stuff. So I don't even bother to open another account.

Twitter is no longer publicly traded so you won’t be able to buy any shares unless you know Elon personally. I'm not sure it will ever be a good buy again even if they do become listed in the future. I see a lot of ads for crypto scams, which is likely not a sign of having healthy revenue. They will have to look at other sources of income besides ads. There is speculation regarding X Payments, but seeing how poorly Twitter is being run I wouldn’t hold my breath that it will live up to expectations.

Well now Elon Musk is going to be building a 'Trust and Safety center of excellence in the state of Texas. He will hire 100 full time employees to enforce child safety laws.
It is because he was criticized for cutting back on trust and safety operations. The announcement was made just a few days before CEO Linda Yaccarino is going to meet with the Senate Judiciary Committee for online child safety.

Elon musk try to eliminate people he thinks he don’t need on Twitter anymore and have replace them with people he feels is competent enough to handle the new idea that he have to bring to the platform.

When he started doing the new changes on Twitter it appear that it Twitter was losing value but from the way it’s going now the now X is doing well and their a lot more of engagement their on X which was formally known as Twitter lot of features and have been made available and the influencer their are now being paid for making a contributive post on X and if you have enough engagement you might likely start earning from it.

early 2024 OP was online but did not respond about the data and facts between elon musk and twitter, has OP realized that what was written was only an invalid issue and until now twitter is fine and even more advanced. If elon does that, of course there are benefits that are taken, one of which is more efficient and faster in terms of access and system maintenance, I admit that twitter is superior and can be said to be the best and stable. There are rarely cases that harm account owners or everything that is caused. In terms of ui/ux ellon is very smart to pack more extetic. I don't see Elon struggling and taking his own path in continuing Twitter, the fact is that Twitter is still the most comfortable and easy to access, which is what makes me different from other social media.

X(twitter) is no longer a public company but is private. It's true that X is in some trouble not making enough money to sustain itself as many of its traditional advertisers has boycotted Elon. But Elon has a record of turning a dying company to a leader and twitter still has a huge userbase and Elon Musk has deep pockets to run X for years without a profit and try different things.
There are news of X going to implement an in app payment system that would also accept crypto as a depositing option. With different, innovative and radical experiments X could really be the all in one app for the whole world.

agreed with this, twitter even after acquisition still the most polished social media there is, right now mabye the valuation tanks but so does with meta's stuff, literally facebook, its crappy UI/UX these days are no help to the users, if I were to choose a social media i will definitely choose twitter because its just better also more modern, the recent meta released platform thread even getting forgotten by people.
twitter under elon is fine, he just did some company efficiency improvement by maybe firing the unstrategic position but overall its good sailing with twitter.
even more obvious with the fact that people can't get enough of those glowy badges for the sake of elevating their account worth.
its really good strategy that even instagram imitates it if im not mistaken.

Well Elon Musk is not the richest man in the world any more. And it is not because of the things he did wrong for Twitter.
He did lose more then $18 Billion cause of the price of tesla stock dropping. So now he is worth $204.7 Billion. French billionaire Bernard Arnault and his family is worth $207.6 Billion.

I would say that it's pretty common in tech companies to see employees only working for 4 hours a day and play the rest of the time on Playstation or do some other fun activities. If you go in warehouses, you'll see people working every second of their 8 hour shift. So, this brings you a clear picture that people in Twitter were having more fun and less work, so, Elon fired most of the staff and instead of fun, every employee is now pushed to work during their shift.

I think that the stupidest thing that Elon did with Twitter was badge subscription service. You just pay and get verified mark, that leads to many scams and also doesn't make any sense, it was way better without them.

[Miles2006]

I hardly use X formerly known as Twitter but I observed something earlier last year the app has lost the structure ever since Musk bought Twitter, although not everyone will judge what Musk is doing and sometimes things have to under go changes, bringing his own policy is accurate but it seems the policy has started affecting the app just like advertisers and marketers are reported leaving X and by the look of things it seems Musk doesn't need them due to his influence and money.

thats indeed the implication that comes after elon just decided to make badge payable now many people are taking advantage of it not to mention twitter is by far the worst place ever for scamming case, there are simply too many scams there, every tweet literally filled with so many scams and yes most of these scams even go as far as buying some badges, i do agree that its really bad situation out there in twitter, even elon attempt of blocking bots that are sometime used for scamming seems useless.
personally i've worked in the it field and I think elon just trying to maximize that work force paying lower allocation for salary for the employee when pumping that working hours up.
overall its just really difficult situation in my perspective not to mention those many advertisers that abandoned twitter due to certain problems.

[3kpk3]

Anyone with a half-decent brain knows for a fact that Musk messed up royally with Twitter(X is such a stupid name btw) in more ways than one and only his fans would say otherwise frankly speaking.

The losses that he incurred from this site probably won't even put a dent on his wealth, but it certainly made it pretty clear to everyone that he isn't some perfect genius. No one is!

[smelody]

Legendary people have various kind of tachnic for increase of business. Elon is one of the legend of world. He is the CEO and lead designer of Space X CEO and product architect of Tesla Inc. CEO in Neura link and founder of The Boring Company.
His thinking about twitter may ahead a long although seems negative but hope it will be getting positive in future. as a businessman he will not thinking without business and business. After bought twitter he change most of the strategy and logo its was his prudence.

[Moeda]

Wait a minute I used to think online is the next generation if your not going online your toast but elon musk just lost funds in Twitter trying to take it fully online. He sacked almost all the employees ,replaced them with bots and now he is trying   to sell it . Don't mistake me I'm not trying to criticise the dude but i don't get why this happened for real his plan was nice trying to reduce cost of work . But what went wrong
Twitter usage is really going down I think the app is more boring . What do you think we all know elon this might be another business Strategy right

When Elon Musk first changed the name of Twitter to X, since then Twitter has looked unattractive. Twitter is synonymous with tweets, Twitter is not synonymous with X. In fact, I have criticized that since Elon proposed the name X for Twitter. And until now we are not used to saying X as the name of Twitter.

This is the same as us inviting people to change the name Bitcoin to Bigcoin. Even though the name has changed, our habits of referring to Bitcoin are difficult to change.

In terms of using robots or bots, I don't think it's as perfect as what humans do. Bots are human creations, of course those who create are greater than creation.

In my opinion, he is too ambitious with media platforms, he even asked Twitter users about the Facebook platform whether it was suitable to buy. Maybe he thinks that by controlling the media, he will control the world. That's just my assumption.

What is less interesting in my opinion is changing the concept of the blue tick as a sign that an official account can be purchased. So that anyone has the opportunity to get a blue tick. Previously, blue ticks were only available on government accounts, accounts of world figures, and accounts that had a lot of followers through a verification process, not instantly.

But is anyone still willing to buy it again? My assumption is no. Aside from the high price, there are a lot of changes already happening to the X platform.

Elon musk try to eliminate people he thinks he don’t need on Twitter anymore and have replace them with people he feels is competent enough to handle the new idea that he have to bring to the platform.

When he started doing the new changes on Twitter it appear that it Twitter was losing value but from the way it’s going now the now X is doing well and their a lot more of engagement their on X which was formally known as Twitter lot of features and have been made available and the influencer their are now being paid for making a contributive post on X and if you have enough engagement you might likely start earning from it.

to be honest, i'm still used to the term twitter, rather than the term X. one of the mistakes that elon musk made in my opinion was changing the name of twitter to X.

but with elon managing the x platform, i see X.COM becoming more futuristic and it is even reported that the ai grok chatbot will soon appear in premium X user accounts.

elon is a visionary person, he doesn't choose X carelessly, he made a big breakthrough by buying X from its old owner but a lot of adult content was uncensored on the x platform, in some countries this is a concern.

[mich]

Well now Well Elon Musk received a money transfer license is the state of Nevada. That is the now 18 states he has this license in.
I do think it now is a only some time before we see money transfer on X. He been talking about that and we will see what he does have planned.

[Fuso.hp]

Elon Musk bought Twitter for such a huge amount of money that he must have had some plans of his own for this Twitter platform due to which he has laid off many executives and employees. If the platform is improved by the features that Emon Musk is currently adding to Twitter and the new rules that he is adding, we cannot criticize these things. Twitter is completely Elon Musk's own platform, so he can take any decision here. If we Twitter users don't like these new features or new updates, we can't use his platform, but we have nothing to say against his decision, nor will he change these things even if we do. If instead we were to buy such a platform for that amount of money, we might try to design our own platform like Milon Mask is currently doing.

[YUriy1991]

Its Just only experiencing a momentary decline in popularity due to a change in ownership, I think there is a lot of great potential that Elon has thought about in the future on Twitter before. Indeed, reducing employees also has other unfavorable impacts, but the use of Bots may be seen as helping in disseminating information quickly on more strategic tasks and about cutting company operational costs and that is normal in a business entity.

[Bitstar_coin]

I think the biggest havoc Elon did to twitter is the monetizing of the blue/golden check. This is the greatest mistake he has made with that platform imo. The amount of scam account in twitter impersonating big project with their bought blue/golden check is alarming. Nowadays, people needs to be extremely careful not to click on any phishing link trap set by those fake accounts.
In your time line, you can see several fake blue/golden check account advertising airdrop, if you are too foolish to click on them you will get drained. I don't get why Elon will monetize the blue/golden check and make it affordable for every small town scammer to scam people.

Yes, there are many fake and clone accounts on Twitter now that have a green verify badge. Thus many scammers are cheating and are able to cheat many smart people. It was not right for elon to do this for money. This indicates that those scammers are being supported. He is very smart businessman and he can do anything for his profit one of which is to add such features on Twitter. I don't understand much about business. But I think these things can reduce musk's Twitter user a lot more

[Assface16678]

Even before Twitter is not a good social media platform, as there are many scammers out there or alters, which is inappropriate for the people who're going to Twitter, more like Twitter is the dark side of social media where anomalies and sex-related things happen, I don't really understand why Elon Musk brought Twitter and removed the employees. I guess he's trying to prove something like bots can replace people, which is not good to him. If he becomes more into AI, then someday he will want the world to be run by AI and ruin the lives of other people as they have been removed from their jobs. But now that Elon Musk is selling Twitter, maybe because he doesn't have interest in it anymore or he doesn't get much profit from it. As it can be seen, the usage of Twitter keeps declining, and we also notice that there are no updates in the social media.

definitely, it just give a way for those scammer to look legitimate with just few dollars and they could scam grands just by paying the golden ticks alone its ridiculous honestly.
twitter honestly though could solve this problem by creating some kind verification badge where twitter themselves verify and give special badge even with the need of paying for subscription i think legitimate company will definitely abide to the rules to get that verified badge but it will also render the other badge useless and that means people aren't buying them anymore.
thats why twitter are so eager to keep the badge like this.
personally it just make checking thing in twitter a lot more complicated not to mention that twitter is literally full of bots nowadays.

[EFS]

I think the declining use of Twitter has little to do with Elon Musk. Twitter was already an outdated social media application. Writing in 140 characters wasn't a genius idea. I can even say that it became too popular. But now that new ones are more popular instead, it has started to be forgotten. It's now fashionable among the new generation to shoot videos, not to text, so Tiktok blew. Instagram and Facebook even Youtube are turning to short videos. It doesn't appeal to me, but young people like them.

[mich]

Well Elon Musk is now on Twitter making new Tweets. A new 1 he did was called 'x the everything app'. It is the reason he is getting all those licenses in the US.

Indeed, reducing employees also has other unfavorable impacts, but the use of Bots may be seen as helping in disseminating information quickly on more strategic tasks and about cutting company operational costs and that is normal in a business entity.

The decrease is because it could also be because, on a free basis, it has to be paid for, so that the blue tick that was previously given to someone with a certain popularity can now be used by someone who doesn't have any reputation, thereby reducing the value of the blue tick. Reducing employees in the new management with a new structure is a normal thing and will automatically recover; apart from those who have a reputation for development so far, if they are replaced, it will definitely have an impact. I agree; Elon already has the prospect of what will be developed with Twitter, which has now changed to X, Elon's experience in business is spectacular.

[STT]

 

Writing in 140 characters wasn't a genius idea.

Ironically less is more, that was its strength somehow and it is surprising I agree.    With technology I think we all know it can be too much, is the amount and quantity of emails you get daily really a positive.  It quickly becomes too much to handle and ignored, just spam rubbish you never actually pay attention.  The reason is clear, your attention and time is money its effort and you only have a limited supply in a day.  In this context it explains why the limit to twitter communications initially and even now is valuable.
  Can Elon Musk build on the central ideas that made Twitter something valued as a new product, I think in part he has added something.  I personally like the community notes idea of misinformation being guided and source linked by the community in response not just one way broadcasting an opinion undisputed.    I dont agree taking away the bird symbol was a positive but I never rate just brand label as the most important thing, but I preferred it personally.
  Practically if he can keep adding functionality then it should be a positive experience, both for users and even his quite over inflated investment.     For profit I can see it taking him 10 years to sign off as a positive, I hope he really wanted to buy it because he is stuck with it now.

No one can deny that Elon Musk is truly a genuine businessman and always makes the latest innovations for the benefit of developing the companies he owns [Tesla, Space X, etc.]. It is inevitable that, up until now, Elon Musk's ability in his business has continued to develop well, and many people want to join.

It could be that many people are unsympathetic and have a negative impression of the actions taken on Twitter, which has been changed to X . Maybe a lot of employees have to be reduced for the purpose of this renewal, or there are ideas for efficiency; only he knows. But it is clear that the real change now is from free Twitter to paid X, not to mention the blue tick doesn't have to be a public figure anymore, which is actually the main characteristic of the old Twitter. This is what many people regret about this change.But business is business, so Elon is of course the one who determines the continuity of X in the future.

Elon emphasizes freedom of speech so much and it seems to attract a lot of people...

Well, I think that many people will move from Gmail to Xmail, somehow it seems to me that some people are fed up with Google and their shady business. Maybe I am wrong about that, in any case, I think that Xmail will be strong competition.

[teamsherry]

To me Elon is doing quite well for Twitter, its his company why should you interfere, I don't remember him asking money from you to buy Twitter so what he does with it its his business, and I don't see any fault in what he has done so far, reducing the cost wasted on workers, branding Twitter with a better name X, he has even added more features, I even head some persons are earning off X right now.

First of all, it was mismanagement.

Elon Musk acquired Twitter for $44 billion and he had no concrete plan on how to execute his plans on making it a global platform. In fact, he used this platform solely to address his issues and problems which made it somehow political rather than a platform for free spech.

Second, it was poor planning.

In addition to what I have mentioned above, Elon Musk literally eliminated like half of the executives and employees of Twitter who mostly worked there for years. With such poor planning, he lost majority of its users on the first month and the trust that people had with Twitter was gone. He focused too much on projecting his own plans on Twitter that it somehow self-destruct when it became a political platform rather than a social one.

Lastly, the re-branding.

Sure, Elon Musk wanted to re-brand Twitter and named it to "X" but it just destroyed the image further. People mostly know Twitter as Twitter; in fact we even call it Twitter despite it being re-branded to X already. With its name already established, it somehow ruined further its reputation that led to its downfall continuously even as we speak currently.

[Bobrox]

Its very nice ideas from Elon Musk how to make new branding started from twitter become X and right now he has ideas created many competitor such as Xmail then any potential with Xpayments. Actually Elon Musk looking advantage by acquisition twitter and become his advertising way in the future for promoting his new brand or product.
Elon Musk not stop in twitter platform only, he has many ideas in the future how to develop his product and take advantage from twitter become advertising way without spent much money more advertising his product on other platform social media.

If xmail really true launch to public I believe many people will try to see how advantage and secure with xmail than gmail have been operation before, I can't wait with Elon Musk brilliant ideas in the next time which one platform social media will acquisition after twiiter?

Actually I feared it could come crumbling down but I gotta say the dude is really good at business. 𝕏 (twitter) now has a lot more traffic than it used to. That feature he brought in which people can make money from the revenue generated in their tweets really pull attention. He’s really trying with what I’ve seen so far and I’m not sure any platform will ever be able to get where 𝕏 is today.

[STT]

He is at least trying to do something new, dont spend this much money if you dont have some ideas to put forth and a general plan to methodically improve the product.    The biggest thing to note is he did try to sue his way out of the purchase in some regrets so this thread is well founded, Elon himself saw some mistake in the site and the price he paid and its hard to argue with that.  Going forward I think he is doing something, success or not that will take years to properly conclude beyond just quick fire criticism which is there always no matter what really.



I dont really find this kind of thing anywhere else, an advert can pay to be there but the users themselves can call out its failures right there on the advert.   That alone must scare the advertisers for an idea that could propagate elsewhere, its their worst nightmare possibly.  Imagine Coke advertising and people pointing out just how much sugar is in that product sometimes and other drawbacks to plenty other products, they are right to be very critical of something they are afraid of no doubt.

For contrast YouTube again allows broadcast of adverts, you pay a fee and its sent out.  Those adverts can be criminal not just misleading but actively attacking their user base in a criminal way but its all automated and promoted without question.  The method being accounts that harvest users for funds then disappear afterwards, faking legitimacy in a variety of ways.  Nothing clever, similar stuff we get in emails every day and Gmail does attempt to filter this but YouTube currently is doing the opposite at times.  If I was going to be critical of YouTube or X in this regard, its clear Google is failing massively at times.  Of course you can report, there's a process to review suspect activity and it can take days to occur which is a schedule suiting criminals just fine.

I don’t know. Couldn’t he have picked a more suitable name for the social media app instead of just going with X? Choosing between the name Twitter and X, I would go with Twitter over and over again.
As for asking for money to buy the app, he didn’t personally ask me lol. But it’s obvious he’s trying to recoup some money from users following the verification mark that can now be bought by anyone having $8.

And yea, a lot of people are now earning from the app. We’ve got so called “independent journalists” going about peddling misinformation and outright lies so they could also cash in. These folks don’t care about pushing the truth. Rage baiting tweets and lies are what would bring in the views and clicks which in turn,  equates money.

Elon is indeed smart and will continue to innovate on X so that it remains popular and generates income for its financial coffers.

I'll start to use it once he's able to integrate X with crypto payment and have an exchange there. That's what I am waiting for it because it was like given as a rumor that he's going to make it as a universal or powerful app.

But I think that him and his team are working on it silently. Well, he's literally not working for it but giving ideas and just checks from time to time. You know, the typical work of CEO and then his workers are the ones being pushed to deadlines and being pressured to hit them on time.

Honestly, Meta has that metapay or some payment processor already rolling in Brazil cmiiw. So, he's got to do that asap.

If Elon Musk is indeed planing to carry out some implementations for processing payments through Twitter/X, then he is very likely not to include Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies on it, because it would require to be watched by regulators and have more licences to operate in the most important markets of the world, like the United States and the European Union. In the case he even wanted to make a built-in exchange, then it would be worse for him, since authorities would say he is facilitating money laundering, helping criminals and cartels to get their money into the system thanks to Twitter/X, not even mentioned the additional paperwork and KYC which would be require for Musk to do all those things.
Telegram is the kind of applications where scammers lurk around seeking for victims, however, Twitter does not stay far behind and adding payment options to it will encourage scammers to steal and social engineer all the money as possible off the hand of the people of Twitter/x.

As far as I am aware, the only measure taken by Musk which have been publicly applauded by the average user of the social media was dropping the support for the NFTs completely.

I think he can capitalize on the idea about having an approval recently with the Bitcoin ETF spot, he can lean on that matter if there are questions like that about those transactions related to possible illegal trades.

But you're right that it's gonna be a big matter but he's Elon Musk. He's influential, got money, got companies that do serve the country itself that's adding massive contribution to their economy so, he's for sure going to be given that favor as much as he want.

Anyway, we'll see if that's going to be done as that's likely the rumor.

Even though the blue tick has its pros and cons, in the end it can go well and everyone cannot avoid business being carried out and included in area X now. I think it's true, he always innovate continuously with new features attached to X so that everything can have an impact on users and, of course, for their business. Many have tried to compete with X, but until now it is difficult to compete. X has become a trend in itself.

Actually I feared it could come crumbling down but I gotta say the dude is really good at business. 𝕏 (twitter) now has a lot more traffic than it used to. That feature he brought in which people can make money from the revenue generated in their tweets really pull attention. He’s really trying with what I’ve seen so far and I’m not sure any platform will ever be able to get where 𝕏 is today.

Is there really a con to using blue tick? I mean to the person who owns the blue tick. I don’t think there is. He’s has actually been doing pretty well on the platform. I saw a recent tweet where he was showing how to make audio and video calls on 𝕏 and that’s great. But people are complaining about bots and I see it too. I hope that he remembers that this is one of the things he also complained about and finds a stop to it.

Elon Musk now is suing OpenAI and the CEO named Sam Altman. He is suing them for breaching a contract cause they are not using the mission of the company.
It is to help benefit humanity. And not to make profit like they are doing.

Wait a minute I used to think online is the next generation if your not going online your toast but elon musk just lost funds in Twitter trying to take it fully online. He sacked almost all the employees ,replaced them with bots and now he is trying   to sell it . Don't mistake me I'm not trying to criticise the dude but i don't get why this happened for real his plan was nice trying to reduce cost of work . But what went wrong
Twitter usage is really going down I think the app is more boring . What do you think we all know elon this might be another business Strategy right

You can never understand, he is human not a god, and you in your stage can't compare yourself to elon musk, most times all what he did or is about to do will never make sense in the face of people like us until later, so don't judge what you don't understand.

What I don't like about Elon musk presently, is the upgrades that Twitter needs to reduce scammers and account hijackers, Twitter is the right social media for all crypto related projects but now it looks like a complete joke, it's better not to have an account on Twitter and be safe from crypto scammers, there is no way a newbie will be safe using twitter, the dangers on twitter is so alarming.
Apart from this I don't have any issue with Elon musk but it seems he don't care, it's left for new beginners to be careful with Twitter, that place is no safe for any beginners at all, ordinary tweets have dangerous links, and impersonators are so many.

In case some of you did not know: yesterday I learnt Twitter/X now allows people to call one another thanks to a new functionality in the direct messages, basically now Twitter/X allows people to use it to have voice and video conversations, that would be a good news for people who like to use Twitter/X. However, It has been discovered that those who participate in calls hostws on Twitter/X, get their IP addresses exposed to the rest of the participants of the call.
At first, I did not believe it was true, but it seems to be the case.

Honestly, I don't know how the team of Elon Musk would allow such thing to past through their quality control or their quality of code, in the case of being as bad as people says I would recommend all of you who use this social media to disable the option to receive calls in your private messages, otherwise, your IP address could become of public knowledge as soon as people decided to call you and you pick up the call.

Anyways, you all do your own research. 

[Argoo]

Elon Musk simply surprises with his statements on the X network in support of Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine.
He recently said that Ukraine will lose the war in any case, so it supposedly must conclude a “peace agreement” with Russia. According to him, this should have been done a year ago, but now thousands of children “died for nothing.” But he does not understand at all that having captured Ukraine, he will continue to destroy Ukrainians in various ways, and will also continue to seize neighboring states.

In addition, the billionaire argued that “in the eastern regions of Ukraine, the majority of the population gives preference to Russia.” The founder of Tesla and SpaceX explained that in this way it is necessary to support the will of people “who constantly live in conflict.”
Moreover, he voiced an unexpected formula for “peace” between Ukraine and Russia. In particular, he proposed holding another “referendum” and “recognizing Crimea as Russian.”
Back in October 2023, Elon Musk published a meme about Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky. In the note, he ridicules the fact that Ukraine needs financial assistance in the fight against Russian aggression.

Elon Musk even went so far as to say on the social network X that he does not see the point of the existence of the North Atlantic Alliance. In response to this, the President of Latvia, Edgars Rinkevics, noted on the X network that NATO does not plan to cease to exist, and the reason why NATO was founded, exists and will exist is Russia and other enemies of the free world.

Of course, Musk has done a lot in various fields as a businessman, including in the field of near space exploration, but it seems that he does not understand politics at all and behaves like a boy.

That feature was only recently developed, and while it's unacceptable, I think when they discover the problem, they'll fix it soon. In addition, X is developing many other features and utilities. It seems like Elon is turning X into a multi-purpose tool, not just a regular twitter social network.

What's more interesting is that 1 year ago, when he bought X and changed his name, many people criticized, laughed and thought he was sabotaging this social network. But then, the user base is still growing, X is growing more and more features are being introduced.

My personal opinion is that Elon Musk made a mistake changing Twitter's name to X. The new name sounds suspicious and seems constantly linked to something shady (if you know what I mean). It's simply a matter of personal taste.

However, I do think the platform's features have improved, especially the premium options. The ability to edit posts, write longer posts, upload longer videos, create communities, and even get verified (blue checkmark) offer significant benefits.

Additionally, if I'm not mistaken, Elon Musk plans to launch an X payment system this year. Overall, I view these changes as improvements.

[mich]

Well there is some big news that will happen this week for twitter. Elon Musk did take an other shot at OpenAi and did say this week xAI will open source Grok.
That is after he said some bad things about OpenAi.And the lawsuit that he did file against them.

First, before discussing what Elon did wrong to twitter, we must understand what is righr for twitter? You dont like that employees were fire, but what if bots are more effective? You say that the app is boring. But it has barely changed. We still write post and insert pictures and smiles into it. Like 3-6 years ago. Turns to be that it was boring before Elon bought it. Right?

Every business owners have the right to make any decisions to improve his or her business without seeking advise from people and, what Elon musk did to sacked his employees, I believe he have a reason for that which is best known to him because he will not be seating down and watching his business he used huge amount of money to established collapse.

I know that Elon musk is a talented investor that always pursuit what will bring profits at the end of the business like the way he purchased Twitter some years ago and developed it to attract more customers, you can see that the population of people using Twitter has increased higher.

Its none of our business on how Elon would really be doing into his own business. He had bought the company then he had the full rights on what he should gonna do and this is something thats out of our business.
Do anything wrong with Twitter? Yes due to some changes then there would really be those bashes and criticisms but people would really be having no choice and still that making use of this platform.
Come to think that Elon did add that check mark but still there are tons of people/org etc.. that did really willing to pay up and this do shows that people must adapt on whats available.
Thats how business should really be handled on which it would really be that subject to changes and if people do find these changes to be non relevant or something doesnt have sense then
they would simply skip out and look for another place but we arent seeing this anytime soon with X.

[Antotena]

I'm not sure if I'm the only person that has seen a trend in Twitter as of recent. When a Twitter handler with 100k followers and above or even more than a million followers tweet, they get these impressions and lots of engagement but I have notice an abuse going on because of Twitter revenue share with people that monetize their profile to earn weekly part of Twitter revenue.

What Twitter small accounts those is that they go under these huge account follower tweets and drop an unrelated comments on their post so that they can farm engagement from the tweets and get some thousands of likes. What they post is always unrelated to the original posts and tweets and I'm sick and tired of these guys, you can't even enjoy the conversations of comments again because of the spams and are busy farming engagements for Twitter bi-weekly payment and yet Elon hasn't not done anything yet about this.

Well now Twitter does have money transmitter license in 22 US states. Those states are Iowa, Ohio, Utah, Florida, Kansas, Oregon, Virginia, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, Missouri, Michigan, Wyoming, Arkansas, Maryland, Nebraska, Mississippi, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, and New Hampshire.

I also do think this is 'bullish' for investors that hodl Doge coins. Elon Musk did say he thinks X Payments will be live in middle 2024..

Well. I must admit that is something I did not expect to happen this fast. It seems Elon is actually serious about turning Twitter/X into some multifunctional application, time will tell whether he will be able to push forward to it and make it popular.
I believe this could positively impact content creators in Twitter/X. I have met many artists and illustrators which have had to suffer with PayPal for literal years and bow down to the stupid fees and Terms of service which are decided by that company, this could be a chance for those artist to easily profit off their skills and even get tips directly from their patrons and followers in Twitter/X.

I doubt Elon will include Dogecoin and Bitcoin in this payment system, at least not in the short term, he is likely to focus in Fiat. Regardless of the variety of assets in this incoming wallet, hopefully people will be careful enough not to fall for massive scams. This social media already has too many scammers roaming around and trying to steal either ones personal credentials or private keys.

[ChiBitCTy]

I really hope so many will wake up and see Elon for who he really is.  I cringe when people call him the real life Tony Stark (Iron Man).  The guys never made a hamburger, let alone a car or a rocket or a payment system..not shit.  Is he incredibly good at being a salesmen..one the all time greatest..but I think his ego talked him in to buying twitter, which was not a good investment, the place is still an utter cesspool of bullshit, hatred, racism, bigotry etc etc.  He is not the right guy to run that company. I just do not get the appeal in the man one tiny bit.

well to be fair the man got a fair share of his fame from founding spacex which kind of helps advance space exploration so I give him that, but some people also don't know that tesla actually is just a company that elon invested maybe due to sheer luck or he's a great salesman that he could make tesla booming when later he takes over as a CEO, and there are plenty of companies that he founded as well so I got it when people are calling him the real life tony stark but I do kinda agree with you that people in this case often times are over glorifying him, his twitter definitely a disaster of an investment where the company valuation tanks right after his take over right now just become a den of scams and phishing, but i think he also has that ability to gather the masses into his favour as seen by many of his cases that I followed he seem to be really good at making people picking on his side though not all people get easily swayed but he could get some symphathy easily maybe because he's already being labeled as the real iron man helps him in that regard though i suppose.

Musk is a co-founder of PayPal. According to Business Insider, Musk founded the searchable business directory Zip2 with his brother when Musk was 24. The brothers sold Zip2 for $307 million four years later. Musk used his $22 million profit from the sale to help start the online bank X.com.

Elon Musk is the best businessman and he knows how to do business. He has struggled a lot in life and has taken many challenges head-on, in which case he made a mistake by buying Twitter, we might be wrong if we say that. There must be some reasons behind his purchase of Twitter with huge amount of money which he is not revealing till now. Before starting a new business one has to invest a lot of money in that business and there are many losses in the beginning of the business. If the traders can accept the loss and hold on to their business, then later they achieve success in that business. Since he bought Twitter with this huge amount of money, one day he will surely reveal the real purpose of buying Twitter.

You would really be having that kind of boggled mind on why people has always that something that has to say on whatever the decisions made by Elon, as if they do really knows on how to handle up a business or company on which whenever they've seen that those steps and actions been made out is against into their interest then they would really be directly be criticizing it on which it isnt really just that
they would really be shutting up their mouths and let those owners handle their own business. They are smarter than you and its their company in the first place and its none of your business
on what they would gonna do into their own company.

It is really just that simple on which if you dont really like on how they do act out then you could really always stop on using their service as simple as that.

Have to agree thats a smart measure, you never really want to have people pay to play or for access to free speech.  There should be a better standard then that in a public forum ideally of course, I realize money makes business in plenty of other normal avenues but it did seem incorrect to go the money route on blue marks.

Good to see they can admit some mistakes perhaps, everybody makes them of course.   Also it was contradictory to what he said about advertising and how they would not be biased by the demands of big money companies,.  Quite admirable  though idealistic to the point of being unrealistic as everywhere there is advertising & its a kind of overt bias on purpose.
  In the West at least we do accept this deliberate bias as needed as part of capitalism but doesn't make it right and some of it is just lies to put it nicely.

 There's definitely an argument with two sides to it on this advertising question for pretty much every website on the internet.   Advertising on one kind or another pre dates Bitcoin for required funding in quite a bit of activity.

Today I decided to take a look to Twitter/X after a while without checking out the trends on there and stuff. As usual there days, I found Israel to be among the main trends of the day and I decided to check out what was going on exactly.
Eventually, after a while, I encounter someone who opened a thread about how the planet has a problem of pedophile Jews and how they use their power and influence to sexually slave children.
Those were about 6 posts filled with stuff which are very disturbing, not only because of the nature of what was being saying, but also because the huge amount of antisemitism being created and spread without anyone doing anything about it...
Like... I get the approach of Musk is to have a social media which is supposed to be as free speech as possible for people to express their ideas and opinions, but claiming Jewish people in general have tendencies towards being attracted to minors and act of it sounds like something completely different from what I would have expected to see in a place where freedom is key.

These are very wacky and strange political and societal times we all are living though, there is no doubt about it...

Holy shit I nearly had a brain aneurism decoding your post.  First off, lots of conjecture in your post, and lots of false statements. I think. Still not 100% sure what the heck I just ..read..I guess you could call it. I went to college and got a degree in business management, so I’ve got a slight understanding of how to run a business or how one is properly ran. I also know that Elon is absolutely an incredible businessman, but that doesn’t mean he runs his businesses the most efficient way and that he hasn’t done a shit job in many aspects, of tye businesses he’s been a part of , or owns (but never created on his own accord..space x is probably the best example of HIS company /business but it wouldn’t have been possible if not for major government grants and he doesn’t create shit..he just oversees people who oversee the people creating things. He’s got a lot of people fooled in to thinking he’s some real life Tony Stark, which couldn’t be further from reality. I also don’t use or support any business he owns. I don’t have a twitter / X account, I’d never buy a Tesla as half of them are shit, I wouldn’t buy is solar panels as they are ripe with issues etc etc.

Elon is one of history’s greatest businessmen, fact. Largely propped up on his fame and ability to fool people who only see things from a one perspective level. Bill Gates is an unbelievable businessman too..did he create Microsoft ? Did he create a false perception of whom he really is as a person? Dig a bit deeper my friend.

[Iranus]

I don’t have a twitter / X account, I’d never buy a Tesla as half of them are shit, I wouldn’t buy is solar panels as they are ripe with issues etc etc.

More importantly, do you have enough money to own a Tesla car? Don't rush to call them trash when the whole world is hunting them and is willing to spend hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars to own them. Reviewing a product that has been analyzed and reviewed by industry experts, are you a technical expert?

You graduated from college and are a financial advisor, but have you done anything that surpasses Elon? Because when we want to evaluate or criticize someone, we must at least be better than them, but if you only use words and words to criticize them, that only proves that you are jealous of them. When evaluating someone, people look at the results that person achieved and not just because you evaluate Elon, he is a bad person, and you are a good person.

Those of us who troll the performance of Messi, Neymar or Ronaldo or create memes about them are never at their level. Similarly, those of us who laugh at Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter or say that he acted like a fool by buying Twitter for such a huge amount of money, we are not Elon Musk's class of people at all. Elon Musk's thoughts will never match our thoughts. Elon Musk is a billionaire and he is one of the richest people in the world, but we can never think the way he would. The huge amount of money he bought Twitter with is a lot of money to us but maybe the money to buy Twitter is not that much to him and he must have bought Twitter thoughtfully. 

Since he is not upset about his two purchases, we should not fear that he has acted foolishly.

Criticisms would really be that normal but on the time that it already crosses up the line then it would really be that something understandable that it is really that out and something that viable or something right.

We do know that there are positive and negative criticisms but its true that when jealousy hits big time then this is where you would really be spitting out some non sense words towards a particular thing
and this time we are talking about Elon and on the ways he handled out Twitter which is now "X". Yes, we did see such changes but we do really know that still there are tons of users who do make use of it.
He had imposed that checkmarks but still there are ones who are willing on paying up for the subs.

Its impossible that these billionaires arent that wary on the actions that they are taking. They wont really be able to reach out such state if they werent that good enough
on business decisions.

Those of us who troll the performance of Messi, Neymar or Ronaldo or create memes about them are never at their level. Similarly, those of us who laugh at Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter or say that he acted like a fool by buying Twitter for such a huge amount of money, we are not Elon Musk's class of people at all. Elon Musk's thoughts will never match our thoughts. Elon Musk is a billionaire and he is one of the richest people in the world, but we can never think the way he would. The huge amount of money he bought Twitter with is a lot of money to us but maybe the money to buy Twitter is not that much to him and he must have bought Twitter thoughtfully. 

Since he is not upset about his two purchases, we should not fear that he has acted foolishly.

Spot on. He most certainly thinks long term. Most of the funds collected came from people/companies who trust him, they still do.

More importantly, do you have enough money to own a Tesla car? Don't rush to call them trash when the whole world is hunting them and is willing to spend hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars to own them. Reviewing a product that has been analyzed and reviewed by industry experts, are you a technical expert?

You graduated from college and are a financial advisor, but have you done anything that surpasses Elon? Because when we want to evaluate or criticize someone, we must at least be better than them, but if you only use words and words to criticize them, that only proves that you are jealous of them. When evaluating someone, people look at the results that person achieved and not just because you evaluate Elon, he is a bad person, and you are a good person.

Isn't it all about preference anymore? Talking about the price of a Tesla or even better a cyber truck is ridiculously expensive. The whole world isn’t willing to spend good money on a car that in my opinion, isn’t worth it. If you would take some time to read up on reviews, you’ll notice people are expressing several complaints.

One needn’t be a billionaire to criticize or have an opinion of the man and how he does things. And when  one openly states his opinion, it doesn’t equals jealousy.
It’s a bit weird seeing how people bend over to excuse the man and his actions.

I really hope so many will wake up and see Elon for who he really is.  I cringe when people call him the real life Tony Stark (Iron Man).  The guys never made a hamburger, let alone a car or a rocket or a payment system..not shit.  Is he incredibly good at being a salesmen..one the all time greatest..but I think his ego talked him in to buying twitter, which was not a good investment, the place is still an utter cesspool of bullshit, hatred, racism, bigotry etc etc.  He is not the right guy to run that company. I just do not get the appeal in the man one tiny bit.

I doubt that his fans never see him as he is though. I remember when i hadn't done any research about him, and i actually thought he had good pretty good pr. And i totally saw him as an iron man. Like did marvel as well, by putting him into iron man movie. But after he called that diver who was part of a team that saved those kids from a cave a pedo, i started to wonder what kind of man elon actually is. If he had shut up, he still could enjoy that legendary status, but then he opened his mouth more.

So i had to look more closely, and to my surprise, all i found was more smoke and mirrors. Man buys companies, and doesn't design anything. If anything he tries to act like steve jobs and order people around telling to cut costs and safety and just do stuff. He wanted to be be known as founder of tesla, even if he really wasn't, and some kind of rocket engineer even when he wasn't. His big ideas seemed to be childish and way he talks about science is just amazingly dumb. I have seen actual scientist explaining stuff and when people know what they are talking about they don't try to evade subjects and speak as vaguely like elon.

I had to sell my twitter account because of his bigotry and right now he is just retweeting extreme rightwingers and rumors with texts like "conserning" or "interesting" and no research or sources seem to be needed for the stats he is interested in.

Elon Musk is the best businessman and he knows how to do business. He has struggled a lot in life and has taken many challenges head-on, in which case he made a mistake by buying Twitter, we might be wrong if we say that. There must be some reasons behind his purchase of Twitter with huge amount of money which he is not revealing till now. Before starting a new business one has to invest a lot of money in that business and there are many losses in the beginning of the business. If the traders can accept the loss and hold on to their business, then later they achieve success in that business. Since he bought Twitter with this huge amount of money, one day he will surely reveal the real purpose of buying Twitter.

You would really be having that kind of boggled mind on why people has always that something that has to say on whatever the decisions made by Elon, as if they do really knows on how to handle up a business or company on which whenever they've seen that those steps and actions been made out is against into their interest then they would really be directly be criticizing it on which it isnt really just that
they would really be shutting up their mouths and let those owners handle their own business. They are smarter than you and its their company in the first place and its none of your business
on what they would gonna do into their own company.

It is really just that simple on which if you dont really like on how they do act out then you could really always stop on using their service as simple as that.
Lots of bashes and criticisms but still ending up on using it. lol

Not sure why you are expressing such a frustration with the tendency of people to criticize the decisions made by individuals like Elon Musk, especially in the context of business and company management. The OP appears to believe that those who are not directly involved in running the business should refrain from criticizing the decisions made by its owners as the owners are perceived to be smarter and more capable than the critics.

[ChiBitCTy]

When you run publicly traded companie(s), one being a social media war zone (Elon stated just that, well before knowing he’d buy it, and mentioned he expected to get in to battles when he logged in..he’s a very verbal /controversial troll., by design. He knows how to suck people in to his web of attention seeking) then you’re more than fair game to be criticized, analyzed and critiqued up and down, left and right, daily. As one should be when they’re no longer in full control of the companies and there’s thousands to millions of other owners that bank on you doing well, literally. You don’t go public otherwise.
.
Also no, I can’t afford a Tesla. I live in a box on the streets of Narnia. Signature campaign is what keeps me fed, also how I bought a wardrobe to get here. Could be worse.

You seem unaware of the millions of people working administrations, in the Government, Private Industry, Venture capital firms, health care, insurance firms, and 1000 of other companies collecting salaries of US$ 5000 + Plus some plans, leasing and all other. In that world you go to the bank and get a credit, pay 10% and finance the rest.

I'm not making excuses for him or anyone because it won't help me make more money or become rich. My point is, if we don't like someone or a product, we can ignore it, why disparage or criticize it when we don't have enough money to own it? Just like bitcoin, there are many people who criticize and disparage it, but that doesn't mean it's bad. Besides those who criticize it, there are millions of others who still think bitcoin is divine, including me and you.

Those who like to criticize expensive products like Tesla, Iphone...but the interesting thing is that those people are the ones who don't have enough money to own it.

If you think Elon is bad at managing X, you can buy it and manage it the way you think is best. Or if you feel Tesla is trash, invent the best car yourself to show the world, LOL.

he bought twitter on a whim anyway, he probably trying to find a company that could raise his influence and win the trust of people through various means and twitter is definitely one of them even if it tanked in valuation its not gonna do anything, elon not gonna sell it so its really just unrealized floating loss for him unless he sold all his stocks he won't be regretting his own decision moreover its such a good way to advertise for his own company, even if the advertisers are going out of the platform he himself find a way to still make money through various means one of them is through the blue or gold ticker that arguably make scams and fake account more flourishing which definitely is its disadvantage but it does give profit to twitter.
hopefully though he can sort out whatever problem in the platform, many people are already tired with twitter and its current state nowaday as a den of scammers with their fake account purposefully created for phishing people.
if elon could overcome this problem, the valuation of twitter might increase again in the future it matters of his own decision to make twitter a better place.

Many people find the changes after purchasing twitter which is annoying. He fired most of the employees working there after the purchase of the platform which went viral on social media. There are many who have a negative view of their projects. After purchasing the platform, he wanted it to be resold, but it was no longer made available for sale.

Elon Musk is a world-renowned businessman, he must carefully review any decision he makes because wherever he invests, it is never an ordinary investment. Since he has purchased it, he must continue to make every effort to profit from it. He will try his best on how to make it more user friendly. X Twitter is now known as X. Of course, many expect it to rise again in the future.

[bakasabo]

From my understanding, Twitter is not a t-shirt printing shop, but a large business, industry, media, corporation and it will take years and many years before we can really judge what he did wrong and what he did right. I can use other industry giant as an example - Apple inc. There are two completely different companies with different approaches before and after Steve Jobs. Notice how people talk negatively about Tim Cook and his management, however, their products are still most demanded on the market.

Wait a minute I used to think online is the next generation if your not going online your toast but elon musk just lost funds in Twitter trying to take it fully online. He sacked almost all the employees ,replaced them with bots and now he is trying   to sell it . Don't mistake me I'm not trying to criticise the dude but i don't get why this happened for real his plan was nice trying to reduce cost of work . But what went wrong
Twitter usage is really going down I think the app is more boring . What do you think we all know elon this might be another business Strategy right

you have all the rights to criticize that troll mate so act as human, your points are all valid and that shows how stupid this person is, kicking many employees and replacing with bots? that is inhumane act because tweeter is performing well before he bought it  maybe the company sees an offer that they cannot refuse so they sold the company .
and about the hearsay of selling X? then that shows how or what kind of person He is.

[Litzki1990]

If he bought Twitter from its former owner for such a huge amount of money, he must have done it with some important motive. When the social media Twitter was owned by the former owner, he appointed various officers or employees to his Twitter as per his wish, but since the owner has changed, new officers or employees may have been appointed based on his wishes and needs. If we thought that this was definitely a wrong move for Elon Musk considering that the new employee was hired on Twitter's current X platform, we'd be wrong. Elon Musk wasn't wrong in his decision and we certainly wouldn't look at his decision differently if he changed the name and changed various features after purchasing Twitter and more updates are coming.

After showing interest at one time but when he refuse to buy he has to face legal complications and he was forced to buy Twitter. But since he took over, Twitter has changed. Firstly Twitter's staff layoffs and changes in CEO and there various outlandish and unreasonable claims such as giving fodder to a Twitter user took a variety of motives which became a source of frustration for users. Moreover, there are many users who switched back to different platforms. But when he realized he expressed interest in making it user friendly again. Currently, Twitter's system is working successfully to stop fake accounts. The fraud trap that used to be created by fake accounts on Twitter has now been reduced to a fraction. His efforts are gradually working to make this platform more popular.

From my understanding, Twitter is not a t-shirt printing shop, but a large business, industry, media, corporation and it will take years and many years before we can really judge what he did wrong and what he did right. I can use other industry giant as an example - Apple inc. There are two completely different companies with different approaches before and after Steve Jobs. Notice how people talk negatively about Tim Cook and his management, however, their products are still most demanded on the market.

Twitter is relatively smallest social media compared to others but the users think the information shared is more credible than other platforms especially when it came from verified accounts. But Elon introduced verification for everyone for a subscription fee that backfired instantly and lost the share value but as of now other social media is following what he did for example Instagram took the same path of providing verification for payment and also they launched very similar in the name called threads.

Let us put it this way, he has his own plans when he decided to acquire Twitter. We may not understand his motives, but definitely, he has his eyes when it comes to long-term plans for this social media channel because the money involved is huge. Do remember, he is a businessman, so we can't question his ability on this matter. Who are we to judge his decisions? He achieved something in this life that very few people can. So we don't need to be very pessimistic with his decisions.

If he bought Twitter from its former owner for such a huge amount of money, he must have done it with some important motive.

As the new owner, he has all the privilege to do what he thinks is best for his company. Now, if people are against with him, then get out of the company and find a new job. Or better yet, buy or create your own. But we can't tell a person that he is doing something wrong with his company because we have no idea about his future plans and all the other things related to its developments.

Elon Musk's target public are the choleric political militants and jokes/memes enthusiasts. This way he grabbed the interest of people from all ages to his social media. Political matters bring a large public from 40 years old on, plus the fake news, conspiracy theories are really popular among the 50 years old and above. On the other hand, those memes made of scrappy and scribbled cartoons, without context on many cases, are popular among the teenagers and youngs. In the end, it's a very unproductive social media sustained by polemics, exchanged insults, lies and distorted conceptions of life, which inevitably takes anyone who consumes its content for too long into a severe depression.

Elon Musk himself finds himself in such polemics quite often. Just now he is playing the 'justice paladin' role by confronting a major judiciary member from brazilian supreme court on X for censorship and power abuse against brazilian citizens. These news keep the platform active and users engaged.

Well did you see Elon Musk did say they will have the new Robotaxi in 4 months from now. There is not going to be any pedals or a steering wheel in it.

It will be a self driving car and not the new model 2 car he was talking about. For me he does not care if he lost so much money from twitter he is making lots from all his cars.

Well now this is something that Elon Musk did do good for twitter. It is planning to launch a tv app for videos.

It will be for uploading videos to the app just like on Youtube. It is for the idea to make twitter a free-speech 'video first' platform.

And now Elon Musk has been ordered to testify in sec investigation. It is for his $44 Billion purchase of twitter. 
It was after  the sec did sue him in October for not going to a interview for a investigation. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/musk-ordered-resume-testimony-sec-210036746.html
