What did elon do wrong in Twitter

[Iroh]

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.

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.

Well now Elon Musk is arguing with the new Community Notes on twitter. it did come after Elon Musk made a tweet about how he does not like Windows 11.
He did say he did not want to make a Microsoft account. But his computer would not let him use it if he did not make the account. https://mashable.com/article/elon-musk-arguing-community-notes

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.

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.

He is a genuine business executive and always does everything he takes over because it is done with very good planning, as was the case with Twitter, which started with changing the logo and from unpaid to paid. 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.

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.

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.

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.
