90% of twatter employees just lougne around and do nothing. It was like a big ass party for a company that just loses money.

elon has been acting like a petulant manbaby for a long time now
no surprise he's running Twitter into the ground. and for someone who LARPs about free speech, firing people for correcting your nonexistent programming knowledge is pretty laughable. thankfully at his other companies there are real brains doing all the legwork

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

Per his own words he wants Twitter to act as the anti-thesis to this media monopoly and has the goal of the platform acting as the place for citizen journalism backed up with verifiable factual information. If a large amount of the population adopts Twitter as the place to find real news vs. news that serves the powerful that should definitely drive usage. And, as posted ITT, usage is way up already.
He also intends to add more functions to Twitter to make it the "everything app" equivalent to wechat in China IIRC which includes a payment system, something that he has some familiarity with.
Think about the games that are being played with peoples' money by the powerful. Imagine an alternative place to store your money and to conduct transactions. One that isn't under the direct control of state power or the international bankers.
Will he be able to make that vision real? IDK.
But if you can see it then you can see it. And if you can't, oh well.

I think it's a little early to call it a massive failure and people are jumping to conclusions. Takes a long time to rebuild something properly. Need to get rid of all of the employees who could potentially have access to sensitive information and want to work against you or take it elsewhere, rehire, and start rebuilding.

I just made a twitter 2 weeks ago and realistically speaking he doesn't know wtf he's doing. He just bought it to claim he's "for the people" while being totalitarian in the weirdest way possible. I want to believe but he doesn't know what he's doing outside of tweeting edgy sh*t lmao
Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; and if it is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.

If twitter was still publicly traded, the price would have tanked and I'd be buying shares, srs. Tesla had some really dark days, too. I'm not an Elon lover by any stretch, but historically, betting on Elon to succeed has been a solid path to making money.

Completely agree on the second part I've quoted though. Yeah, he started with money, but his drive is next level and it's very impressive what he's been able to accomplish. Hope he succeeds with Twitter.

Can't believe how DUMB the analysis is everywhere.
He bought it for power? Everyone's going to abandon it?
Elon's strategy with Twitter is obvious imo, based on 1) his history in payments processing (x.com and paypal) and digital currency memecoins, 2) what he said from his own mouth.
It's an established brand and platform that every celebrity uses, and he's going to glom onto this to make it a western Wechat.
He'll integrate payments so e.g., you can tip posts, but more importantly, can make payments generally (e.g., Revolut).
People will abandon all other payment platforms because of the social/addictive aspect of Twitter, and will abandon all other socials because you can get paid on Twitter.
He's going to revive Vine and replace TikTok which will soon be banned in the US, and again, integrate payments.
Eventually he'll integrate ride sharing via Tesla into the "app of everything".
Nobody will stop using Twitter.

@ hating Elon for "no reason", there are plenty of reasons people may dislike Elon depending on their personal views and it's likely safe to say most of those reasons originate from his inclination towards tweeting stupid things and then often deleting them in regret.
Dude has a long and storied history of posting stupid chit, he truly can't help himself

Hope Elon, the world’s richest man, who has his own space program for fun, reads this thread for the valuable advice from the top 50 misc CEOs.
I’m really impartial to the whole thing, but stepping into a company and making such drastic changes isn’t as easy as it sounds boyos. And it’s not even, what, a month in?
Seriously, stop listening to CNN

You're giving this deal way too much credit -- these are texts between Elon and his ex wife Talulah Riley (TJ in the texts) made public during the Twitter acquisition court case

His desperation was put on full display with his first attempt at recouping his losses with the paid verification system that was easily abused. If Elon was level-headed and knew what he wanted to do with twitter, he would not have rolled this out as quickly as he did. But, he was cucked into buying twitter and is sweating buckets thinking that hundred of millions of users will pay $8 and this would recoup his 44 billion loss.
A lot of employees took Elon's generous 3-month severance pay instead of working like slaves. He did not have to do this but he has fck you money and those employees should be grateful tbh.
Sure, there are a lot of microtransactions that can be implemented with twitter. I guarantee you that if Elon read your post he would immediately roll out every one of those changes you suggested because that is how desperate he is. 44 billion is a large fkn number. Elon isn't thinking clearly because he was cucked against his will to buy twitter when he was just memeing.
I can see twitter evolving in the ways you mentioned. But in the interim, Elon is being a doofus and is thinking of ways to quickly recoup his losses and not thinking long-term.

- gets the employees to quit so he doesn't have to fire them and cough up severance packages. Can now outsource their jobs to India.
- watches all the liberal celebrities leave in protest, taking their bot/paid followers with them. The bot/alt/faketivity problem is solved for him.
LOL at thinking he's fking up.
