RE: Elon Musk Twitter - pally - 08-24-2023 (08-23-2023, 03:35 PM)basballguy Wrote: I don't believe he bought the "brand" but more he bought a platform with immediate access to hundreds of millions of users. Twitter had a recognizable brand and logo. It had a language surrounding it that everyone knew. Everyone knew what you meant when you talked about a tweet and everyone knew that little blue bird. And even though there were negatives it wasn't a broken brand. The value of Twitter was in the brand not in the platform or technology, It was the fact that the world knew Twitter. You don't screw with that. You make tweaks to improve the product you don't give it some anonymous name and logo. You don't totally destroy the parts that were working. Elon took the parts of Twitter that were working and broke those and made the parts that weren't working even worse. In one fell swoop Elon wiped out BILLIONS of dollars of valuation of his company that he will never get back because people don't know how to talk about X. Its hs money to blow as he sees fit but so far it seems like every decision he has made around Twitter/X has been a failure RE: Elon Musk Twitter - Mike M (the other one) - 08-24-2023 (08-24-2023, 06:16 PM)pally Wrote: Twitter had a recognizable brand and logo.

What are you talking about? he just gave himself a nice tax write off to be spread out for the next 20 years.

He is blaming the ADL for a 60% drop in advertising revenue since he took over because they supposedly are pressuring the advertisers. He claims he is "pro free speech" but supported the bots on X when they started a "ban the ADL" trending tag by liking those particular tweets/x's. I guess he is ok with anti-semitic tweets ie one that literally says "f*** the Jews" but is against it when the ADL claims that speech like that is anti-semitic https://techcrunch.com/2023/09/04/elon-musk-to-sue-adl-for-falsely-accusing-him-x-of-antisemitism/ or maybe because they know what hate speech can lead to but hey in the meantime lets buy into a favorite anti-semitic trope

If he takes control of Twitter, which is still the one of if not the biggest news source online, he has massive control over the presidency. I think he saw how Twitter, the feds and the democrats teamed up and buried the Hunter Biden laptop story, and changed the course of the election. So, he bought it, and crafted a plan to have Trump and Tucker (they were in it together I think) to get 250 million views. Either Trump gets elected this year, or Tucker gets elected in 2028. And I do think Tucker runs. He turned down 100 million but still did the interview with Trump. He’s working on the MAGA vote for 2028. If either of them get elected, Elon has a BFF in the White House. He chose GOP because he thinks the left has lost their minds and now that he bought Twitter, they’ll start painting him as a white supremacist anyway.

He chose the GOP because a liberal woke LA school turned his kid into a trans communist…. This is real life.

Interesting how Twitter is still located in Commiefornia when Musk has had ample time to move it to a non woke place like Mississippi.

My goal isn't to die with the most money, it's to help everyone I can. Secondly I'm not out there professing to be genius businessman. He is. And he's not doing so well.

Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. -----some book conservatives won't shut the hell up about Honestly, Elon could give me some pointers on making money and i could give him some pointers on how to remain on speaking terms with your spouse and family members. Then his ol man could give is some pointers on knocking up your adopted daughters. Oooh lala! Elon Musk Twitter - Rotobeast - 10-05-2023 Elon is a modern Edison... in the fact he often uses people without giving them the credit they deserve. He even goes so far as to completely disavow knowing them and send herds of lawyers after them if they speak about their working relationships. This is from a friend of mine that he tried to bully, but my friend has enough money/clout to defend himself and he never signed an NDA.

RE: Elon Musk Twitter - pally - 11-18-2023 Advertisers are once again abandoning Twitter/X after discovering their ads next to anti-Semitic and pro neo-nazi content and Elon’s own public approval of anti semitic posts. They include IBM, Apple, Disney, Paramount, NBC/Universal, Warner Brothers Discovery, Lionsgate, and Oracle RE: Elon Musk Twitter - GMDino - 11-18-2023 <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> RE: Elon Musk Twitter - Arturo Bandini - 11-18-2023 Let me guess ?
