God, what a turd move. I mean, the For You feed was already in a nosedive since they've shifted towards trying to give you 90% people you don't follow but were maybe interacted with at some point by someone you do, but this just kills it. Everyone says that the Following feed is better, but I find it it unusable since it's real-time, and would require me to sit on there all day long watching the feed instead of just checking in after dinner.

lmao twitter blue has so far only made 0.01% of his yearly interest payment on the initial loan to buy the company. surely pushing it as hard as he has is the correct business decision for this giga brain genius.

He also cut the valuation of the company in half the other day, site is now worth less than half of what he paid for it

https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/26/23657182/elon-musk-twitter-employee-stock-grants-valuation

quote:

Elon Musk has put a $20 billion value on Twitter, making up less than half of the $44 billion Musk paid to acquire the site, according to reports from Platformer and The Information. In a memo sent to staff viewed by Platformer’s Zoë Schiffer, Musk reportedly says that employees will receive stock grants based on Twitter’s $20 billion valuation.

So clearly he's this generation's best big business boy

Brinkmanship

As soon as the legacy checkmarks go away, there should be an army of people paying $8 to impersonate Tony La Russa.

With those stock grant announcements I believe part of it was saying that there would be periodic windows when it can be sold (like with SpaceX).

Wonder how long that first window will be delayed, since as soon as it happens it will pop that valuation prediction.

Selling to whom, exactly? It's a closed corporation, it has no market for a public float. There was a sort of pink-sheets OTC for startups and the like, but first point, Twitter is not a startup, and secondly, a lot of that business was kind of anchored by a certain bank who got brought out for like negative $10 billion.

If you pay Elon $8 a month just to try to "own" him in polls then I hate to break it to you but he's the one who has owned you.

It's pretty funny that he's doing the whole "$8" retorts that his followers loved again, but this time it's because he desperately wants people to know that it's only $7 now (not through app store) (when you buy a year) (Best Value!)

This is correct but the Twitter addicts who crow about how left wing they are will convince themselves it's wrong so they can continue feeding their addiction

the trick is to steal credit numbers to get blue.

also assuming the forever checkmark glitch is still working, cancel it with a charge back and hope Musk gets cut off from the big 4 transaction processors.

Elon already explained to you that it's an inverse startup. Thus you get inverse equity. I anticipate these stock grants will be managed on the blockchain, possibly using Dogecoin. Elon is simply disrupting the woke and absolete stock grant industry.

I dunno, seven bucks a month to make a billionaire lose his loving mind even faster sounds pretty cheap.

His whole thin-skinned belief is the validated users love and adore him, and taking that away from Elon would be delicious. Because if that goes, there is definitively no secret "bot-free" majority who actually love him.

It's truly incredible that anyone is still stupid enough to think this way after trump. When someone's entire belief system resides within a fictional world, you can't "own" them into reality. They will simply keep building additions to their fictional world that explain how it can't be real
