The people staying on Twitter because it will “cost Elon money” are really grasping for an (incorrect) rationalisation. Twitter might not be profitable but it does have positive gross margins; Musk wants you to stay, not leave.

It’s okay to acknowledge you are either reliant on the product for [reason] (many of which are valid), or are even addicted to it.

It’s a bit cringe to try to rebrand staying on Twitter as an act of defiance that is really sticking it to Musk.

I'll give him credit this one time, "Run antivirus software in your brain" is a pretty funny response. It would have been way funnier if that was the entire tweet and he didn't bother with the first line.

I have it on good authority that Trump is, was and always will be the “Throat GOAT” when it comes to gulping glizzy and that nobody can tell him not to slurp that meat down his gullet.

If they manage to become ad-inventory supply-constrained rather than demand-constrained (LOL), then yes, one’s engagement on the platform will be positively correlated with incremental revenue and profit for Twitter.

i mean, people hjave fewer children as they rise out of poverty, have more resources available, access to birth control/abortion. it's not a secret scheme to reduce earth's population, it's just that having 15 kids so they can help support your impoverished family sucks rear end.

Just a reminder that these people fear depopulation because it would reduce the supply of human capital they demand. It's literally just because they're more afraid of paying people more for labor than they are worried about starving children.

This explanation always seemed too forward thinking for a guy like Musk.

I think it's more likely just straight up racism.

Depopulation is kinda rough for the current generation as they retire though since those elderly folks are now being supported by a smaller working cohort. China and Japan (and a few other countries) are experiencing it and it has real and tangible negative macroeconomic effects on the quality of life for both the retired and workers since you either need to cut services or increase taxes to maintain service levels.

Elon Musk suffers biggest loss of wealth in modern history with net worth collapse

The Twitter and Tesla CEO’s net worth has fallen by more than $200billion (£166bn)


https://www.nme.com/news/elon-musk-suffers-biggest-loss-wealth-modern-history-net-worth-collapse-3372432


Elon Musk has suffered the biggest loss of wealth in modern history, with his net worth dropping by more than $200billion (£166bn).

The billionaire, who recently took over the social media site Twitter, lost over half of his fortune over the last 13 months.

According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Musk’s net worth declined by $208billion (£172bn) – roughly the same as the annual GDP of Greece. That amount is also more than the total net worth of the world’s richest person, LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault.

Musk was previously at the top of the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, but has since been overtaken by Arnault. His net worth was previously $338billion (£280bn). It now stands at $132billion (£110bn).

The huge drop in Musk’s net worth is largely down to the collapse of Tesla stock over the last year. “Don’t be too bothered by stock market craziness,” the CEO recently told staff at the car company, according to Reuters. “As we demonstrate continued excellent performance, the market will recognise that.”

Since Musk took over Twitter in October, the site has faced a number of difficulties. The CEO immediately fired several top executives and half of its workforce, with users soon advised to archive their Twitter history after speculation the platform could collapse.

I mean you don't actually need to do either of those things, economists just demand it as a sacrifice to their stupid blood god.

Yeah you can overcome a shrinking birth rate with immigration. Japan clearly has not been sucessful in getting their population to have more kids for a whole bunch of reasons, including their incredibly toxic work culture that gives next to no work/life balance, but even then, it's not like (most) developed countries with less lovely work cultures are having tons of kids.

They really should open up their immigration policies. That would largely solve the worker/retirement ratio issue, though they'd have to get over their xenophobia.

They also continue to have absolutely oppressive work environments that make having a family or even establishing relationships difficult, 12 hour workdays for office workers are still the norm (you can often work a normal 9-5 but promotions are denied and even competence is questioned if you do not work till 8-10PM. Basically you can sit in your office and do the bare minimum and as long as you are present people will think you are doing a good job.)

They don't have to. The sort of people promoting Andrew Tate already believe women are essentially, at best, subservient, and at worst, sub human and not to be believed. Abuses and things like human trafficking are just normal in their mind. These are usually the same sort of morons that, if they have daughters, threaten their boyfriends with violence because they expect all men are just like them.
