I think it's only signaling that he's not above that. The worse is yet to come. In his first week owning twitter we're already seeing full force what a twat (pun intended) he is.
It'll only get worse, much worse

It's like literally 6 quid (100k IDR} for family package of 6 account. Including for my parents and inlaws which aren't very tech savvy.
Plus i got to cancel spotify (sadly) because i got Youtube Music included.
Why not.
Kinda sucks when you're watching gym train aling only to be interupted with ads halfway
Spotify is the one I actually do have, and I never even considered using the ad-supported version, so I see your point. Well, I do have some streaming services too, and for those I would also never consider paying less for an ad-supported one, or honestly even a free one.
There was a lot of hype about this in India around half a year or more ago but I don't think it quite took at all here. Not sure how it's been doing globally though.
It's an exaggeration to make the point they the actual backend design on twitter is EXTREMELY straightforward. Basically pointing to the fact that what musk has spent the money on is the name which is now extremely tenious based off public opinion of him. I'd suggest you lack nuance in how you read things and are looking for an argument but as I said Conor, carry on. You've already gotten more out of me then you deserve based off your responses. You're welcome.
I literally specified that this would be the barrier to entry in my initial post?
sorry for wading in here, the brand is valuable but the user-base is equally if not more important to his acquisition
on the wider point Twitter's infrastructure is quite impressive, they've scaled up massively since the early years and are able to handle massive amounts of TPS without many growing pains (or not many that I remember, at least).. I think you might be underestimating how valuable that infrastructure is (literally hundreds of thousands of servers)
I'm thankful that we live in a meritocratic knowledge-based economy, so that the smartest are rewarded for their accomplishments.
Also, Musk has filed a form showing he sold more Tesla (TLSA) shares. Roughly $4B worth.
The whole Twitter purchase has been a frustrating experience for all Tesla shareholders.
So blue check mark is now for everyone but grey check mark is really now the new blue check mark and blue check mark is really twitter blue but raised to 8 bucks a month and there's still a hierarchy of check marks that not everyone is privileged to have... What a fecking moron
This is what I don't understand. I'm sure there are investors with 10s if not 100s of millions of dollars (heck even billions) invested in TSLA, and they risk losing a ton of money if Elon keeps dragging it through the mud with his mouth. Do these investors tell him to shut up? Or the people around him? Or have TV shows warped my mind as to what 'the investors' will do? You'd think the high up ones that have the most to lose aren't just going to sit around and watch their fortune burn away
Just tried it. It's weird.
Why don't they just give them a different checkmark? Twitter Gold or whatever you want to rename it to. And let the people already verified keep their blue checkmark.
If the verified want this new premium service then give them two checkmarks.
Surely that's doable?
They do provide this feedback some publically and others privately. Elon does his own thing as is clear by now. They are also long term investors and have probably made millions already so Elon has some slack.
the cult of Elon has been amazing for the stock price historically so that will have bought him some leeway, but for sure there patience will be running out
and yeah 100% they'll be giving him feedback, most will do it privately as they don't want to FUD their own investment
Been tweeted out by a few disparate sources plus Elon himself.
I dont have twitter, could you show it out of curiosity to see the exact words, please?
Sure, might not tonight as I am fading fast & am more invested in the election outcome, but I will get it to you.
e - went to a commercial break & I was able to find it real quick…
Could be an innocent troll, but why delete it? Definitely wasn’t a drum up by Tribel.
Thanks a lot for getting it, appreciated
Though im of the opinion that is far from saying that he wants to buy it.
And i add: thanks got for musk. Will give us a few months of distraction while we re waiting for the build up for trump 2024 campaign. Maybe they will team up.
So the president has to be from US. Does the VP, also? I guess in case the president steps down, but do anyone from the cabinet?
President - yes, VP - yes, Speaker of the House - just has to be a naturalized citizen for at least seven years before running for a seat (I did not know the Speaker proviso until three minutes ago).
It could totally happen.
Speaker requires a lot of actual work.
Noting tat a CEO of 3 major companies and other minors cant do
In all seriousness, sure it does, but presidency too among many other outstanding qualities and there you go trump
A being a GOOD speaker (like i guess any member of the government)requires a lot of work. A bad speaker...and musk would be up to a task to be a center of attention
Because its a money grab on those trying to be twitter famous and they want the blue tick. This is all about paying to be higher on the search results and I can't imagine that's going to be a good thing for quality.
fecking inject it slowly into my veins
Tesla was on the way down before the Twitter debacle.
Like everything from Mr. Smart it is an idea he thinks is brilliant in his mind, yet in reality is stupid. See Vegas "hyperloop" or neuralink.
The company is strong and will only increase (in revenue, profits, cars sold etc). The stock will likely go down because a) it was insanely overvalued, b) recession.
