Musk Acquires Twitter

[Orygun]

Right- It was a charity gesture to lose tens of billions in order to “save free speech”! Unless it was speech that kinda made him mad. Or was mean to him, or caused corporation’s share price to plummet.

You’re talking woke, ergo not making sense.

So if twitter goes completely belly up…what replaces it?

Twitter contends with onslaught of fake ‘verified’ accounts, advertiser pullout, bankruptcy

All the more reason to fire progressive socialists from Twitter. You don’t really believe Musk verifies accounts personally, do you? The left is clearly trying to sabotage Twitter from within by verifying fake accounts set up by other leftists and setting up lawsuits. It’s called lawfare and the left has been doing it to restorationists for some time.

You are mistaken… they aren’t verifying accounts anymore. They are just taking money for a blue check.

The blue check is no longer a verification of authenticity.

I doubt that Musk is losing this much money on purpose.

So do I. I don’t think making or losing money on this venture is his prime concern. There are much bigger issues at stake here than money.

$44 Billion isn’t just a little bit of money.

Musk could set a few million on fire and be okay… $44 Billion though… that isn’t walking around money.

It is a very bad attempt at monetization that is backfiring because trolls exist on the internet.

Musk was publicly warned that this was a thing that would happen if he took away the verification process.

This is a great article that summarizes the chaos Musk has created with his changes

Twitter Blue verification was a complete disaster in exactly the ways...

Its a lot of fun watching this chaos but I doubt advertisers are impressed.

Of course he has to make money. Its not just his money. He has a mix of 19 investors who are wanting to see a return on their investment.

His biggest investor has proclivity for bone saws.

Maybe, maybe not. But it’s not a public service. If he doesn’t make money, your “bigger issues” remain unaddressed

You keep doing this, he isn’t on the hook for 44 billion, there are numerous other investors.

Which is why he it needs to be a moneymaker. Twitter and Musk need advertisers far more than they need twitter. He needs to install competent leadership and step away from the micromanaging he is currently doing. These first few weeks have been a bit of a ■■■■■■■■■■■■

Interesting to see he said he will pay content creators 10% more than Youtube. Not sure Twitter has the infrastructure to rival Youtube. I am sure Musk will also be looking to see how he can get some of that sweet sweet ad revenue away from Twitch.

This is an actual Elon Musk Tweet that he later deleted.

I don’t think that his investors are amused at such antics.

It’s like they forgot he tried to withdraw from the transaction and was threatened with lawsuits of he broke the terms of the deal…which he would have by withdrawing.

I suspect this new claim of Musks will be proven incorrect.

Maybe Musk should GOOGLE it! I think they may send a tad more traffic.
