Just like a year ago it was considered an essential part of modern discourse and society. The media was heavily dependent on Twitter. Now, Twitter has lost a lot of influence.
If Elon had simply kept his stupid mouth shut, he wouldn’t have been forced to buy the company, let alone for such a high price. Once purchased, if he had been less of a maniac and just managed Twitter in a boring way that maintained the status quo, then it would still be better off today than it currently is. Everything Elon has done has made the company less valuable and driven away users.
I dont understand this sentiment. When Jack Dorsey sold twitter he wanted it delisted so someone could make it more publicly owned. He thought Elon could do that and so it was sold. Its essentially the opposite of what Reddit is trying to do.
If Elon comes in amd says “this company needs to change or else it wont survive” i would believe that. People are essentially mad that the company doesnt have investor funding.
Twitter wasnt profitable and had net losses as it was losing hundreds of millions a year. Dorsey wanted to make twitter profitable while making it more inclusive and trusted. At the time he saw Elon as the best leader based on how he had led Tesla.
Dorsey only held about 2% of the company. The only winners on that sale were the investors. All i was trying to say is if Elon had done nothing, the only winners would have been investors.
You are implying that Dorsey picked Musk to take over Twitter. He didn’t. Musk tried to do a pump-and-dump like he always does and he fucked around and found out. He even tried to back out of buying it. You’re basically telling me to ignore the whole history of the lead-up to Musk’s purchase in exchange for some conspiracy theory involving Jack Dorsey that doesn’t even make sense.
Sure Dorsey didnt single Elon out but he did say during the takeover that he believed he was the right one. Maybe that was for money but who the hell knows.
Also, Elon tried backing out because the board refused Elons plans to get rid of spam bots. This was one for Elons major plans to revitalize twitter. Not a conspiracy theory here.

on purpose. by design. with intent.
But what if he’s just a fucking idiot?

@PatFussy People are essentially mad that the company doesnt have investor funding.

@BlackRose @NeutralFlame @phoneymouse
Sorry, you believe what Elon Musk says about anything at this point?
Dorsey sold Twitter for a reason. It wasmt money. You tell me why he thought Elon was the best option
Why wasn’t it money? Are you saying he isn’t a greedy billionaire like all of the other tech CEOs?
