Elon Musk Buys X (formerly Twitter): Just Use Bluesky, Threads, or Mastodon Instead

[DarthSkywalker]

Oh… so… the Twitter leadership has always been stupid.

BlueSky just had a Nazi situation, so... yeah.

NY Times - Twitter’s U.S. Ad Sales Plunge 59% as Woes Continue
In internal forecasts, the company projected that ad sales would keep declining, handing a tough challenge to its new chief executive.

Melon will deceivingly claim Twitter's almost profitable...because he stopped paying the bills.

I want to know the total %age ad revenue decline since he took over. No wonder the company is being valued at so much less.

And on the second article, surely even Musk doesn't want that happening. Sort it out fool.

 

[Teelie]

My guess is ad revenue is down at least 75% possible even up to 80. Given the way Musk is running Twitter into the ground and alienating everyone who isn't a white supremacist, it won't be much longer.

 

[Mani-Man]

Im still surprised that twitter holds up this well considering the crap Musk pulled since owning it.
I was expecting 3 months before its over, but it is still running...somewhat.

I dont know, Musk caters to everyone who doesnt call him a fool...so i wouldnt hold my breath on that.
Maybe he is just too busy retweeting, liking and agreeing with the dumbest right wing takes possible.

As it’s private now we have no real idea of how bad the underlying numbers are, no reporting requirements. And of course if they are truly terrible he isn’t going to be boasting about them.

The minute a competitor with the same functionality and projected reach pops up (maybe that Instagram one incoming), Twitter is going to nosedive to its death.

Oh he’s admitting to some of the issues at least.

 

[DJ Kornphlake]

Seems like a common theme with his businesses.

Lol, wow.... that's messed up.

 

[Sithborg]

Huh. That's new.

Somebody drank the Kool Aid.

 

[Sithborg]

Rich son of an emerald mine owner, raised during apartheid South Africa sympathetic to Nazis?

Shocking.

[Sithborg]

And of course he is replying to Ngo.

Amazing, the majority of the laid off employees are suing. Wonderful day for Elon.

 

[Sithborg]

Makes you wonder....

 

[squeekness]

How could he have expected otherwise after the way he treated them?

 

[Iceman]

Can’t expect that he’s going to have any defence with the reckless way he’s been doing this. Big payoffs coming.

 

[squeekness]

I'd be amazed if he didn't get creamed in court.

 

[Sithborg]

I mean, he's the one that forced the individual arbitration clause, under the belief not many will be willing to pay a lawyer for arbitration. Did not expect a lot of lawyers jump on it, and all too willing to force the individual arbitration for each one.

Zoe Schiffer, Platformer: “Smyte, a company Twitter acquired in 2018 that offers tools to stop abuse and harassment, is among the services currently running on Google Cloud Platform. It is now scheduled to be shut down June 30, sources say.” “NEW: Twitter is refusing to pay its Google Cloud bills as its contract comes up for renewal this month, leading to a high-stakes conflict between the companies that could result in Twitter’s trust and safety teams being crippled:”
