Mindwalker Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Twitter's New Trump Musk grew his Twitter following even faster than he multiplied his Covid-era wealth.

Week Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 We aren't even a full week out from the start of this thread. How are the Musk-believers feeling? I'll also note, that the difference in net worth between Musk and myself has shrunk in the last week (TSLA down -11% in the last 5 days.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNTIL YOUR AS RICH AS MUSK YOU CANT CRITICIZE HIS BUISNESS DECISIONS PEASANt. Seriously though From what I see they’re trying to castigate the economic woes as due to the woke mob pressuring advertisers to not be on a site where verified users can just do blatant Holocaust denial now.

DMC Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Another thing Musk spectacularly failed at this week: appealing to Independent voters to vote GOP. Dems actually won Independents by 2 points. The last time the president's party won independents in a midterm was 2002. Soooo..Elon Musk ~ 9/11.

Ran Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 More proof that Twitter is not real life and mostly an echo chamber. All the conversations that are happening there that allegedly "shape the narrative" mostly aren't for the greater populace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorshach Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Well, so far it just look like Musk really, really, really, really, really has no clue as to what Twitter is and how to run it. Possibly the worst takeover I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxus Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 It seems to me that there's a lot of brainstorming going on at Twitter and that a lot of different ideas are being thrown around and when some of these ideas leak they get treated as "big change in Twitter under Musk".

From the start, Twitter has two ways of making money -- charging users or charging advertisers. He continues to alienate both. Trust is difficult to earn and easy to lose.

The best thing for Musk and his new company would probably be if he just stopped posting. I doubt they would have seen so many ad departures if he could just shut the fuck up for a few weeks. If he had any self-awareness he'd be very embarrassed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree -- the ad departures started after he announced his bid. I imagine they've accelerated as he's been tweeting through it all. Threatening to go thermonuclear by naming and shaming is probably not a good move to prove yourself as a reliable, stable partner either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
