𝕏 / Twitter / X, the Social Media Platform Formerly Known as Twitter / "MUSK OWNS TWITTER"

[Oxyjen]

Throughout his entire career he's been stumbling from one company to the next. He's wealthy on paper but almost all of it is tied to stock options and holdings, with low liquidity or insulation from a bad class action suit, market crash or interest rate spikes. I think he's at a point where his wealth is "too big to fail", but he largely owes his success to the US government bailing him out or funding him early on.

The Twitter purchase has investors backing it, it's not solely Elon's money, and those investors are liable to want to see returns. Odds are very high that if Twitter doesn't start generating some serious revenue quickly, those investors will try to force him out of the company. Allowing every retard on twitter to spam "NIGGER" everywhere freely or bringing Trump back would probably cause half the advertisers to bail for the sake of their brand safety.

It sure isn’t a sound business move.

My guess is he started off the purchase basically playing to the crowd on an anti-woke grift to his new MAGA fanbase, and it got out ahead of him.
He’s always given the impression of hating Twitter - a child’s tantrum that even he, the richest man in the world, is restricted in what he can say. It’s a flat structure for users. And the fact that rumours (and facts) about how badly he runs his companies and what he pays to cover up embarrassing sex pest activity kept circulating on there, nothing he could do about it.

His friends in Saudi Arabia and Russia *really* don’t like the fact that amongst all the shit, information *is* free on there, if you can find it. If they did have a hand in financing it, clearly they have their own reasons.

So it’s no surprise that he’s already started firing everyone and implementing stupid half assed ideas, and shitposting the place to death: he really does just want it to die and be replaced with something that’s more suited to his caste mentality.

Yeah. I want to see some people beg money to keep their checkmark.

Provided they work up the initial capital to get one, the Tranch'll have a new grift angle.

 

[AgendaPoster]

nothing will change. Elon will either back down or be to lazy to bring any meaningful new change. i wish twitter would simply get deleted from the face of the earth since it seems all the troubles we have on the internet comes from twitter.

Maybe, possibly, but can you give it a week or two before doompoasting

 

[MeltyTW]

What backing do they have? I mean, takeovers happen all the time, and new owners come in and fire the lot, of the previously hired.

BTW: 7 more are gone and they are crying pretty hard.

It feels good to know that the bitches who literally have pedophilia as a protected sexuality on Twitter (explicitly I've been banned explicitly for mocking pedos and not lgbt) are know going to be homeless and in the streets. Might even be better than a real purge since they'll have to live with the humiliation

“109 countries? You don’t say! Forty percent of billionaires? And two percent of the population? Typhus? They do what to make the Matzo?? That’s horrible! We need to do something about this!”

 

[The Doom Slayer]

Haven't been able to post due to what was going on with the site, but this has caused one of the biggest meltdowns I've ever seen. So much seething, so many deranged self-important people proclaiming they're totally leaving Twitter forever, shills and mouthpieces going totally haywire, etc.

It's glorious.

I might actually create an account now... lol

I might actually create an account now... lol

I wouldn't, it's still a total shitheap. It's just now on fire which is somewhat amusing to watch.

 

[John Titor]

The true test is if we're allowed to make fun of Musk.

It's about damn time.

The true test is if we're allowed to make fun of Musk.

Lol nah, I don't think the point of this to anyone here should be to hope for a free speech Twitter, it's to revel in the fact that these absolute faggots lose their site after trying to take ours, I've heard cries of fleeing back to Tumblr and people trying to act like that slurs don't bother them now after years of building billion dollar virtual walls and now asking for block bots and mute lists. Revel in the pure childish spite of people you don't like losing something they do like. That and having to bow to racist blood diamond man after years of calling us bitches and to make our own internet and acting like they're the brave ones censoring any harsh words

‘Musk won’t be able to buy Twitter. The shareholders won’t agree to it.’

‘Okay, the shareholders want to sell Twitter, but Musk can’t secure funding for it.’

‘Musk may have the funding for it, but he doesn’t actually want to buy it anymore.’

‘Okay Musk may have agreed to buy Twitter but the banks won’t actually let him.’

‘Okay Musk actually bought Twitter but he has to appease the banks so nothing’s actually going to change.’

‘Okay Musk may have fired the executives but he’s just trying to run Twitter into the ground and will sell it for a loss in one to two years.’

 

[The Great Milenko]

But...but...Thunderfoot told me this wouldn't happen!

Lol.

Thunderfoot has a hate boner for Musk. Musk had few realistic options. Force to buy it or force to pay a hefty fine. He'll certainly try to monetize it to funnel money into his other projects.

 

[I'm Retarded?]

I hope the subscription charges will continuously increase until the blue checkmarks are chased off.

I love how #Nigger and #TheNoticing are hashtags that trended within hours of Musk’s takeover

I love the $20 because that's 100% chump change for the celebrities the checkmark was invented to identify as being real people, and juuuuust expensive enough to create massive asshurt among the retards who loved it as a status symbol.

they'll squeal and whine about it but they'll pay like the piggies they are. even if the price was like $100-$200, they'd still swipe the card, because the people who are far gone enough to think their stupid checkmarks are cool and important are already invested in their stupid social media accounts as a Vital Tool. not to mention the checkmark squad are mostly rich coastie brainlets, the kinds of people who preach about wage stagnation and rent and then pay a 50% markup to have their groceries mailed to their house, if you took Musk out of the equation and charged them $200 for the checkmark status they'd probably consider it even more bragable

Maybe some of the journos making six figures, but lolcows like AmHole man and Moviebob are going to have a really hard time justifying handing $20/mo to Elon Musk when that actually costs them an action figure/case of PBR.

Great potential news.
This explains why most shitposters are not yet banned.

Twitter Limits Content-Enforcement Tools as US Election Looms

Twitter Inc., the social network being overhauled by new owner Elon Musk, has frozen some employee access to internal tools used for content moderation and other policy enforcement, curbing the staff’s ability to clamp down on misinformation ahead of a major US election.

I think there's a good chance that Elon might indeed be pissed at trannies for "transing his daughter" or w/e they were bragging about.

I'd like to thank all the wrongposters for not clogging the thread up with their apologies to Musk. Very considerate of you.

 

[Neil]

Originally I thought this was just dumbfuck attention whoring from Elon Musk, a dumbfuck attention whore, but Musk charging blue checkmarks $20 a month to keep their status symbol is a pure stroke of petty genius that makes me all for his ownership of Twitter. Effectively, he's killing the checkmark caste system by adding a monetary gate to verification + making it socially unacceptable to pay evil Elon money for a sticker.

He'd better run this shit into the fucking ground. Make every blue checkmark gnash their teeth and cry every time they log on and see what new hoop they'll have to jump through to keep their clout badge. Then take away their power and status over regular users by making them just as susceptible to banning as everyone else.

Tears continue to flow among the blue-ticked.

White-hater Priyamvada Gopal claims her blue tick is somehow protecting her from physical attack, and so it's not fair to make her pay for it.

For a Klingon warrior, she sure sounds like a punk.
