Elon vs twitter

[Mifune]

Wow... just wow.

This is a newly released text stream having to do with Elon Musk and Twitter.

The names and people involved is simply amazing.

Didn't seem like any bombshells to me. About the same synopsis asthe article I read earlier.

Pretty funny how done Jack Dorsey is with the company.

Will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

I love how Joe Rogan just randomly keeps popping in hyping up the conversation lol

[Mifune]

it's not about bombshells... unless you are looking from a technical perspective.

This is what I do for a living. This should be a contract dispute. Was the acquisition agreement governed by California law? Under NY law they should be looking at the agreement itself, which was likely heavily lawyered on both sides, not at text messages and tweets

I agree and don't either.

But what scares me is billionaires having to much control of information/communication.

I don't think a Muskwitter could be worse than Meta/Facebook or Google.

True, but we can take that power back by not using the platform.

This is what you claim about every topic, and particularly anything related to crypto or tech. Save some time and do the confused, thinking, or goodbye emoji

I wish the 230 million "subscribers" would consider that.

I mean it seems like a dead end company. It’s like ok; a public forum to post one’s text messages but to put them out to the masses (well because it’s like we don’t exist unless others see). Where does it go from there. More characters, more emoji options like what. I can see why anyone would have second thoughts buying that. Kind of like the hype with peloton, it’s like it’s Nordic track folks and that’s been around since the 80’s and oh yeah most don’t like exercise.

I don’t understand how the company has any upside. Facebook is taking a major dump, people are not using it like they used to. I foresee twitter being the same.

I mean with publicly traded companies growth is always the expectation and there is increasing competition for this nonsense. It used to be the best and Brightest minds worked on solving real problems. The companies are well i their way to destroying civilization.

Unfortunately too many of these platforms have already become way too popular and way too many people have chosen to use them.

Can you provide a synopsis? Since you’ve already reviewed.

Seems like an interesting topic, but I’m certainly not spending 19 mins watching this video.

I think it’s obvious to everyone that Twitter is using bots to up user base, advertising dollars, and influence to those of preference.

With this Musk essentially stuck it to Twitter exposing their artificially inflated user base/ad revenue from his prior back and forth with Twitter/Dorsey. And Dorsey wanted Elon to bail the company. Have to love immature billionaires with too much time on their hands.

So if Elon is so wise and all knowing why did he agree to buy Twitter in the first place? Sounds as though he had buyers remorse if you ask me.

Indeed. But as others have said, the contract is the main issue here.

Agree.

The toothpaste is out of the tube, no doubt. No way it would never happen but think of the immense shockwave generated if everyone stopped using FB & Twitter just for one weekend. People could take the power back from the tech giants but instead prefer to point & blame others rather than changing their own behavior. Much easier that way.

Deleted my FB and instagram a while back and can’t say I regret it. Never had twitter or Snapchat. My contemporaries probably think I’m a “nobody” and a “loser” now, which is great, as I wouldn’t have it any other way

[JasoninDenver]

What’s twitter?

I don’t think he is all wise and knowing. Perhaps he had a beef with Twitter and wanted to expose them. Perhaps he wanted to be a social media mogul. Who knows

Agree. And the fact that younger generations are on their phones all day and half the night.

I wonder what the percentage of people that are absolutely unable to put down their phones for 15 minutes and are still getting "notifications" every minute. The addiction rate must be staggering.

The fact that "news" is generated by these companies is pretty scary. And that these platforms are controlled by a handful of billionaires.

There’s no doubt he is just looking for a lower entry or a penalty in lieu of purchasing at contract price.

He agreed to buy and then the markets absolutely tanked. Using lawyers as intended to protect his and investors interests.

Perhaps, he just made a HUGE mistake, and should never have bid that much in the first place.
