More of Musk not paying his bills. But I'm sure Musk the genius businessman has his next brilliant step in the rebuilding of Twitter all ready to go. Or at least someone will be along to defend him...lol. RE: Elon Musk Twitter - basballguy - 07-06-2023 (07-06-2023, 08:27 PM)GMDino Wrote: More of Musk not paying his bills.

Don't bother envying any man who has strained relationships with people he knows in real life and spends all of his time arguing right wing crap on the internet. Yes, even if he has a billion bucks. - Jesus RE: Elon Musk Twitter - pally - 07-07-2023 (07-06-2023, 11:31 PM)basballguy Wrote: We don't have to defend him.

I like how the "conservative" option is the one you choose when you don't want your ad next to hate speech.

RE: Elon Musk Twitter - pally - 08-20-2023 In this weekend's news of how Elon is running whatever the hell we call it now into the ground, he has decided to eliminate user's ability to block and mute others. Protests are being made from all points on the political scale, so I guess we can give him some credit for a unifying proposal. Elon, in his usual irony, is blocking people who protest the loudest RE: Elon Musk Twitter - GMDino - 08-21-2023 (08-20-2023, 09:23 PM)pally Wrote: In this weekend's news of how Elon is running whatever the hell we call it now into the ground, he has decided to eliminate user's ability to block and mute others.

Elon, in his usual irony, is blocking people who protest the loudest Then he went on a blocking spree of accounts complaining about it. And, as the community notes on his post said, he can't do that or it will be removed from the app store and google play. The block function is a requirement to be included on those sites. RE: Elon Musk Twitter - GreenDragon - 08-23-2023 Don't call it "X". Ever. If Elon wants to dead name his kid, I'll dead name the company he's burning down.

Paying a premium price for a brand only to fundamentally alter it and rename it rather that just building a brand makes absolutely no sense. It'd be like paying $8 billion for the Dallas Cowboys and then changing them to the Montana Maulers and making them an XFL team.

I don't believe he bought the "brand" but more he bought a platform with immediate access to hundreds of millions of users. However, if he DID buy the brand, is there anything about the word "Twitter" that makes you think positive thoughts? Musk himself was a vocal opponent of Twitter leading up to the purchase. You don't usually see new leaders come when companies are performing at peak lol. So with that thought in mind, rebranding would make total sense.

That still doesn't make sense to me. In that case, it's like a vegan buying McDonalds for billions of dollars and then converting the brand he hates into a tofu and sprouts selling chain. And if Twitter wasn't well regarded and not at it's peak, Musk really overpaid for it, which he did and he knows it and we all know it. I don't use Twitter, and I don't drink Coca Cola, but I know that buying the entire brand and then changing it is bad business.

So what you're suggesting is was previously a platform that clearly catered to a certain demographic (carnivores?) and afterwards it's become a platform catering to a completely opposite demographic (vegans).... I think what's really happening is some people got used to going to the food court at the mall and every option being McDonalds.....now they got some Chick Fil A, Chipotle, and Panda Express and are completely bewildered by it and maybe accidentally call it all "Vegan" because they don't really understand the new and different foods just yet. :) But then again you might just literally be talking about the "X" brand/logo and the "Twitter" brand/logo.....in which case my analogy may not make complete sense RE: Elon Musk Twitter - Nately120 - 08-23-2023 (08-23-2023, 04:15 PM)basballguy Wrote: Interesting analogy.

What Elon is giving people already existed before he bought Twitter, and that is a social media platform that caters to the right wing and uses the concept of "free speech" in it's marketing. He bought Twitter for a premium price and then changed it to resemble something that he could have made himself or purchased for a much lower price. You don't buy a brand so you can completely alter it, you either buy a brand that is within the scope of the one you want to make/promote, or you start your own. Elon could have made what he has right now from scratch or purchased Parler and called it X from day 1. |
