X, formerly known as Twitter.
It’s Elon, the “freedom” activist (as long as freedom is only for him, lol). It’s always everyone else’s fault basically.
His tweet doesn't seem to blame anyone for anything. They took a shot at generating revenue, MS and Sony said no thanks, and he said he'd look into the situation. Maybe he will come back all fire and brimstone and blame MS and Sony. But seems like he's planning to reverse the bad decision or why bother looking into it?
Shitter...spelled Xitter
1. Musk is a clown.
It was never worth 44 billion in the first place lol. And now that its private, any valuations are in Musk's melon.
What was propping up that value was sick, twisted ideology and fake users. They lost monetary value, but none of what was lost was real value. The company was way overvalued.
Id rather him own it than whoever was there after dorsey. They were actively removing tweets and banning people at the behest of the fbi and doj. Hell the gov wanted to make a truth and saftey council and got so much backlash they did this instead. The last twitter ceo and "social inclusion czar" (or whatever newspeak term they used) was going full on as it gave them reason to censor. This came out as the Fbi files report.
Does he really know? Last I heard, he wasn’t even in charge of X/Twitter anymore. Yes, he owns it but another person is the CEO?
Seems to me that's what's killing Twitter now.
What? You are aware that Elon Musk usually bans anyone on twitter that is critical of him?
I'm sure he's aware of how the API pricing was going to affect various companies. He probably just has a change of heart about axing the whole gaming community from it.
The platform is the most censored it has ever been under Elon. If you so much as just disagree with him, you are shadow banned. He also takes requests from heads of state to censor certain views.
It fucking terrifying when you read some takes here. The education system in this country has seriously failed.
He put a puppet CEO in place because it helps sheild some of his antics. She is running fuck all...oh, maybe interference and thats about it.

Depends, Are you a Musk stan?
You honestly thing Elon's motivation for buying twitter was that he saw it as a money making venture with his touch applied?
Were you there in the past 10 years? It was REEEE on steroids.
Musk is one of the few people that can't be called an idiot... eccentric? yes, but an idiot... only and idiot would call him that.
I'm not saying I thought he should buy it, im just explaining why it was ripe for him buying it and trying to "turn it around".
5 years ago you wouldn't have both sides of the debate discuss and argue on the platform, it would be one dimensional.
How is this better for the casual user though? I gradually lost interest and stopped using it when Musk took over. I followed nothing but gaming-related stuff but every time I signed in I was greeted with video's of beheadings, people screaming politics, and conspiracy theorists running rampant. Not to mention I keep seeing posts from people who I do not want to see even if I blocked them. Being able to buy the checkmark made all of the 'official' pages lose credibility as well. Oh and then there's the OF girls posting nsfw pictures/video's in the replies of every popular tweet which was never ever an issue to me before.
Stop dead naming X, you bigot
It depends
Except him trying to make a profit wasn't at all his motivation. If it was dude would have approached it rationally and with 15 billion in hand...not fucking meme joked his ass to a 40+ billion dollar boondoggle.I'm not saying I thought he should buy it, im just explaining why it was ripe for him buying it and trying to "turn it around".
Ohhh...both sides.
You mean the only period in time in which Twitter was profitable? The period of time right before Elon bought it and the value cratered?
You use the "Following" tab and follow people of interest. I use it for sports and gaming and thats all i see
thanks for providing nothing of value to the conversation
