Twitter

There's a big difference between "going to plan" and "burning to the ground". Do they know the inner workings of Twitter before and after Elon's takeover?

Lol, I have no idea if they’re one of the few people left there. It doesn’t take that to see what’s happening and take a pretty good guess at where they stand now.
 
Then why not actually do what he said he wanted, which was absolute freedom to say whatever you wanted? If he can fund it personally and actually gives a **** about it, he should do it. Instead, he says anyone who runs a parody account has to explicitly state they are parody or be banned. Anyone who makes fun of Elon gets banned. But for only $8 you can be whoever the **** you want to be (apologies to Thandie Newton). Tank Eli Lilly's stock price.

Twitter may exist in perpetuity, but if no one uses it does it matter? You can run a search on AltaVista and check out your friends on MySpace today - those still exist too. Is that what Elon is going for with Twitter?
It's his money. He can do what he wants with it.
 
No, all the people you choose to listen to say it's a complete **********. You think Elon has no idea how software development works....really? Again I'll ask, for the casual Twitter user, there is no observable difference today compared to a month ago. Maybe it's leaking, taking on water and will eventually sink and I'll come back here and tell you you're right, he ran Twitter into the ground.

His actions have proven he doesn’t know much about it. But don’t take it from me, plenty of public accounts on how projects work when he gets involved at all 3 companies.
 
I’m still trying to figure how how he’s “killing” it.

I’ve woke up the last 3 days and Twitter is still running. But if I were to read Twitter I woulda thought it was dead 2 weeks ago.

Advertisers aren’t going to pull out. Especially when usage is at an all time high right now.
 
What's the full self driving fraud?

He didn't always have wealth so I don't know what you are talking about. Yeah, the guy that built Tesla and SpaceX is dumb and just got lucky. The guy that built the biggest electric car company in the U.S. and the biggest rocket company in the world just got lucky twice. That's what you're going with? Anyone else could have done it easily if they had his money......that he made by building Tesla and SpaceX.

Right. He’s so dumb he has made over 200 billion dollars and built a space company and took a car company from nothing to being one of the biggest electric car companies in the world. Yeah he is dumb right. So comical. Yet apparently we are fan boys because we step back and look at the situation and say he is pretty smart. I don’t like Bill Gates . I am also not dumb enough to say him and Basos are not smart.
 
There are observable differences.
The very fact that Musk seems to think the blue check is just some show-off thing for the elite that he can sell to anybody for $8 a month - instead of what it was, a way to ensure that an account is exactly who they claim to be - is 1) a huge observable difference that’s affecting real people in real ways, not to mention costing corporations real money in stock valuations, and 2) a shining example that Elon is putting false right-wing grievances ahead of actually making the service better.

Then there’s the banning of accounts because they’re mean to Elon, or his stated plan to hide tweets from accounts that don’t pay him his $8. He’s like the paperboy from Better Off Dead.

Tesla was nothing?

Advertisers are already pulling out en masse.

Viewership isn't the only thing advertisers look at. Raw viewer counts haven't meant anything for a long time in advertising. Ever noticed how you don't see "normal" advertisers on porn sites even though those sites have huge amounts of viewers? Advertisers don't want to be associated with that as it would be perceived to hurt their own brand value. Just like they don't want to be associated with social media sites that are unmoderated cesspools or where trust is burned to the ground (trust in authenticity being the reason verified accounts existed in the first place, but again, Musk was too ******* dumb to understand)
