Elon Musk
Elon Musk with twitter.
Carrying in a sink into twitter headquarters seems to been a prediction, the sinking of the platform.
Well as I mention to some, the demise of twitter is well in hand by Elon. His arrogance and little future looking are proving it. Randomly firing people to save him some money its seems to be the old saying ‘that a poor leader will take credit and the wealth from others in good times, but will hang people out to dry in bad’. His mistakes should be paid for by him not the workers, we let them do it to us, so we are to blame. He may be a relativity good marketer, but as a leader, not at all.
Back to twitter, not understanding the platform and not having a plan from the start on what the future is for the product, so no surprise its members are fleeing. Except Elon, he seems to be surprised on why. Using twitter, yes there are some problems wit the platform, many were created by the people that ran it in their desire to get rich, other are the people that are on it in their desire to make noise. It also has good points, a way for many to quickly exchange short ideas, desires and information in ways that make it difficult for people that crave control over others to prevent. Think Arab spring as a small example. Its quite possible this actions with twitter will help spawn more twitter like social media, I think of one call Mastodon, a more open and less centralized controlled system, good for us all.
What I see as outcomes of twitter:
- Demist of twitter, not being bankrupt and gone, but close to it. More of a reduction to even more of a place of noting but spewing hate and dis-information. With pumpkin-head back on the platform is a real possibility do to his social media company close to bankruptcy, like the most of his business ideas.
- Tesla and SpaceX feeling the pain of twitters plunge also included. Elon may dump twitter on the market to just get out of it, not having wanted it in the first place anyway.
- Quite possible China may bail him out behind the curtain, Tesla needs china to grow and much of the products are created there. China having taken control of twitter will have a spying and manipulation tool on the US public that is to hard to pass up.
If twitter survives Elons hand that is great, if not that is sad. It will be different no matter what happens now.
