What did elon do wrong in Twitter

[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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. He's also involved in other ventures such as Solar City and co-founded PayPal.

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.

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.

What this thread tells us is that most people here do not have the same thinking process as the accused.
No one here has held 190+ Billion $ worth of shares/values and else.
People in that dimension do not fear losing the status of the richest person on earth.
They couldn't care less if their fortune loses 50% one month as the chances are quite high to recover a month later.

Well I hope we are all ready for the new email that Elon Musk is doing. Now there is going to be Xmail to compete with google Gmail.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-13117105/Elon-Musk-Gmail-rival-dubbed-XMail.html

I have seen something about it, besides Xmail there is talk about Xpayments. Elon aims high. I think he is doing great, somewhere I saw that they are recording a record number of visitors and that number is constantly increasing compared to some other social networks. 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.

[WillyAp]

Elon lives in a Bubble, payments strictly over the US,
You don't own an account or happen to own a LLC based in the US you're out.

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

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.

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.
