Many people find the changes after purchasing twitter which is annoying. He fired most of the employees working there after the purchase of the platform which went viral on social media. There are many who have a negative view of their projects. After purchasing the platform, he wanted it to be resold, but it was no longer made available for sale.

Elon Musk is a world-renowned businessman, he must carefully review any decision he makes because wherever he invests, it is never an ordinary investment. Since he has purchased it, he must continue to make every effort to profit from it. He will try his best on how to make it more user friendly. X Twitter is now known as X. Of course, many expect it to rise again in the future.

From my understanding, Twitter is not a t-shirt printing shop, but a large business, industry, media, corporation and it will take years and many years before we can really judge what he did wrong and what he did right. I can use other industry giant as an example - Apple inc. There are two completely different companies with different approaches before and after Steve Jobs. Notice how people talk negatively about Tim Cook and his management, however, their products are still most demanded on the market.

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 have all the rights to criticize that troll mate so act as human, your points are all valid and that shows how stupid this person is, kicking many employees and replacing with bots? that is inhumane act because tweeter is performing well before he bought it  maybe the company sees an offer that they cannot refuse so they sold the company .
and about the hearsay of selling X? then that shows how or what kind of person He is.

If he bought Twitter from its former owner for such a huge amount of money, he must have done it with some important motive. When the social media Twitter was owned by the former owner, he appointed various officers or employees to his Twitter as per his wish, but since the owner has changed, new officers or employees may have been appointed based on his wishes and needs. If we thought that this was definitely a wrong move for Elon Musk considering that the new employee was hired on Twitter's current X platform, we'd be wrong. Elon Musk wasn't wrong in his decision and we certainly wouldn't look at his decision differently if he changed the name and changed various features after purchasing Twitter and more updates are coming.

Those of us who troll the performance of Messi, Neymar or Ronaldo or create memes about them are never at their level. Similarly, those of us who laugh at Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter or say that he acted like a fool by buying Twitter for such a huge amount of money, we are not Elon Musk's class of people at all. Elon Musk's thoughts will never match our thoughts. Elon Musk is a billionaire and he is one of the richest people in the world, but we can never think the way he would. The huge amount of money he bought Twitter with is a lot of money to us but maybe the money to buy Twitter is not that much to him and he must have bought Twitter thoughtfully. 

Since he is not upset about his two purchases, we should not fear that he has acted foolishly.

Spot on. He most certainly thinks long term. Most of the funds collected came from people/companies who trust him, they still do.

he bought twitter on a whim anyway, he probably trying to find a company that could raise his influence and win the trust of people through various means and twitter is definitely one of them even if it tanked in valuation its not gonna do anything, elon not gonna sell it so its really just unrealized floating loss for him unless he sold all his stocks he won't be regretting his own decision moreover its such a good way to advertise for his own company, even if the advertisers are going out of the platform he himself find a way to still make money through various means one of them is through the blue or gold ticker that arguably make scams and fake account more flourishing which definitely is its disadvantage but it does give profit to twitter.
hopefully though he can sort out whatever problem in the platform, many people are already tired with twitter and its current state nowaday as a den of scammers with their fake account purposefully created for phishing people.
if elon could overcome this problem, the valuation of twitter might increase again in the future it matters of his own decision to make twitter a better place.

After showing interest at one time but when he refuse to buy he has to face legal complications and he was forced to buy Twitter. But since he took over, Twitter has changed. Firstly Twitter's staff layoffs and changes in CEO and there various outlandish and unreasonable claims such as giving fodder to a Twitter user took a variety of motives which became a source of frustration for users. Moreover, there are many users who switched back to different platforms. But when he realized he expressed interest in making it user friendly again. Currently, Twitter's system is working successfully to stop fake accounts. The fraud trap that used to be created by fake accounts on Twitter has now been reduced to a fraction. His efforts are gradually working to make this platform more popular.

From my understanding, Twitter is not a t-shirt printing shop, but a large business, industry, media, corporation and it will take years and many years before we can really judge what he did wrong and what he did right. I can use other industry giant as an example - Apple inc. There are two completely different companies with different approaches before and after Steve Jobs. Notice how people talk negatively about Tim Cook and his management, however, their products are still most demanded on the market.

Twitter is relatively smallest social media compared to others but the users think the information shared is more credible than other platforms especially when it came from verified accounts. But Elon introduced verification for everyone for a subscription fee that backfired instantly and lost the share value but as of now other social media is following what he did for example Instagram took the same path of providing verification for payment and also they launched very similar in the name called threads.

Let us put it this way, he has his own plans when he decided to acquire Twitter. We may not understand his motives, but definitely, he has his eyes when it comes to long-term plans for this social media channel because the money involved is huge. Do remember, he is a businessman, so we can't question his ability on this matter. Who are we to judge his decisions? He achieved something in this life that very few people can. So we don't need to be very pessimistic with his decisions.

As the new owner, he has all the privilege to do what he thinks is best for his company. Now, if people are against with him, then get out of the company and find a new job. Or better yet, buy or create your own. But we can't tell a person that he is doing something wrong with his company because we have no idea about his future plans and all the other things related to its developments.

Elon Musk's target public are the choleric political militants and jokes/memes enthusiasts. This way he grabbed the interest of people from all ages to his social media. Political matters bring a large public from 40 years old on, plus the fake news, conspiracy theories are really popular among the 50 years old and above. On the other hand, those memes made of scrappy and scribbled cartoons, without context on many cases, are popular among the teenagers and youngs. In the end, it's a very unproductive social media sustained by polemics, exchanged insults, lies and distorted conceptions of life, which inevitably takes anyone who consumes its content for too long into a severe depression.

Elon Musk himself finds himself in such polemics quite often. Just now he is playing the 'justice paladin' role by confronting a major judiciary member from brazilian supreme court on X for censorship and power abuse against brazilian citizens. These news keep the platform active and users engaged.

Well did you see Elon Musk did say they will have the new Robotaxi in 4 months from now. There is not going to be any pedals or a steering wheel in it.

It will be a self driving car and not the new model 2 car he was talking about. For me he does not care if he lost so much money from twitter he is making lots from all his cars.

Well now this is something that Elon Musk did do good for twitter. It is planning to launch a tv app for videos.

It will be for uploading videos to the app just like on Youtube. It is for the idea to make twitter a free-speech 'video first' platform.
