What did elon do wrong in Twitter

[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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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?
