Is Elon fukking up bad with the twitter thing?

I dont know much about it, but he kind of seems to be fukking up with this twitter thing.

As the head of a big company like that, he sure seems to be doing some off the wall type of chit.


I mean, I like that libs heads are exploding, but...


Thoughts?

Yeah I don't know what the end result will be, but this first phase will likely become a case study in future businesses classes as an example of how not to do things

Who will even use it anymore?

I mean I was already unmotivated to use it the way it was, as twitter was always the worst social media platform. Now you gotta submit your government ID to them and chit to get an account? just lmao

I mean it's funny af watching it all from the sidelines but the entire thing just seems retarded. Also with Trump sticking to TruthSocial the hilarity of Musk potentially letting orange man return to the platform got ruined and that was always the big draw of the whole thing anyway

Its like, he waited till the business peaked, then dropped a ton of cash on it. Only got one way to go now.


Id love to see the business plan. How much was he wanting to expand it and how?

He probably is fukking up in the sense that he’s being reckless with his behavior when the position calls for a more diplomatic approach.

However I don’t fault Elon much because the bigger issue seems to be the latte liberal Silicon Valley soy boys who work for Twitter quitting en masse due to his leadership. Not to mention the media’s onslaught of character assassination and the rest of big tech and Hollywood turning on him for going against the grain.

I think Twitter will hold on. Tech companies are going through hell right now anyway. Many are down 70% on their stock prices YTD. All of them are laying off employees. Twitter is only getting the focus because of Musk.

Who would have guessed that a mega-rich oligarch LARP buying a social media company at gunpoint because the deal he meme'd actually went through even though he tried to back out of it (lmfao) without any tangible plan other than "muh free speech" (on which he of course caved immediately to Jewish interest groups who made him promise that "antisemitism" was not included in free speech) would go off half-cocked?

Wait till you hear about the Cybertruck OP.

My guess is Elon was informed by the custodial staff that large batches of chia seed speckled cumcumpter scented fart porridge were being blasted into the office toilets on too frequent of a basis and they were struggling to keep up with the clogging so this is all a tactical maneuver to improve the functionality of the plumbing but again just an educated guess here so take it for what it is worth ok

i honestly think he bought it just to make it fail. hes got plenty of money, what he paid for twitter is drop in the bucket. he is also feeding on the liberal tears. trump is laughing all the way to the bank on this one.

Wasn’t misc harping on about how tech employees need to bend over to their bosses and come into the office, be micromanaged, accept working 60+ hour weeks and stop being soyboys”?

Musk thinks he’s the boss but Twitter just showed him he isn’t

His antics work at Tesla and spacex becuase they’re niche companies where the employees don’t have as much lateral leverage. Twitter? Any competent dev there can leave and easily find another job. So they did

Rumor has it now that twitter is down to 238 employees after elons most recent ultimatum lmao

44billion definitely isn’t the drop in the bucket considering his wealth (Tesla stock) tanked since the twitter deal went though and the interest on his loan is 1bn+ a year. he needs to figure out a way to make twitter profit that much annually to not come out at a loss and is failing miserably

I think Elon's fukking insane when it comes to worker rights but he's right about twitter. Twitter was the perfect honey pot for him to fire everyone and show it can be done with a handful of people.

That's really his main motivation here. He's pushing for a very stripped down ideology for workforces.
