What did elon do wrong in Twitter

[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.

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.

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?

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.

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,

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.

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]

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.
Its not practical, doge on the other hand does not fluctuate that much.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Install ublock extension and open X there. It does a good job in blocking ads.

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.

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
