What did elon do wrong in Twitter

[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.

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 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.

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.

-snip-
He invested heavily in buying Twitter. And of course someone like Elon Musk won't buy something without careful planning.

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.

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.

[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.
