Of course Elon is baffled by the concept of testing to ensure reliability

Y'know I hadn't really noticed but that blue checkmark or whatever would look so much cooler if it was an x.

Elon Musk’s X is a black hole of value https://www.reuters.com/breakingviews/elon-musks-x-is-black-hole-value-2023-10-03/ X is still worth something, but not for the people running it. Boss Linda Yaccarino is set to present her plans for the social network formerly known as Twitter to bankers holding nearly $13 billion of its debt, the Financial Times reported. Looming over talks is the likelihood that X’s value is substantially less than even that figure. Despite Musk’s big pronouncements about pushing into subscriptions, X has historically relied on advertising, which contributed over 90% of revenue when it was a public company. But that business is spiraling, and the platform’s shifting policies could threaten more branding deals. In July, Musk posted that cash flow was negative because of a 50% drop in advertising sales. Put it all together, and X isn’t just worth less than Musk paid for it, but likely less than its debt. Assume that the company’s revenue last year was $4.7 billion, based on results before it was taken private. If advertising has dropped by half, then this year’s sales should be a bit over $2.5 billion. Put that on the same enterprise-value-to-sales multiple as Snap, which is down to a mere 3 times, and X is worth around $8 billion. The company is so far covering its hefty interest payments of $300 million per quarter, and Yaccarino sees profitable days ahead. But between Musk’s impromptu product shifts and the need to woo back advertisers, her task is daunting. If things deteriorate further, the company’s bankers - already nursing billions in on-paper losses - face the prospect of taking back the keys to a diminished platform that is worth less than even their claim on it. Like a financial black hole, X threatens to consume most of whatever value it once had.

So, knowing Musk, grifters and brands alike will be able to send unsolicited purchase links to their followers by direct message and he assumes that people will think "this is cool and good" and not hammer the "Unfollow" button by the third time they get spammed? Because making that an opt-in on the users' side certainly is not part of his consideration? Pair this with his (shoddily, I'm sure) planned incorporation of banking and payments (  ) and o-weeeee, that will be a wild ride.

16-bit Butt-Head posted:elon musk killed twitter he's a hero Old Musky is my personal hero. I mean as much as I can have one in this nihilistic post-modern world. Seeing the terminally online Twitter dorks who seriously believe that the world hinges on their every post absolutely meltdown as Elon destroys the platform is the perfect schadenfreude for me. Add that to his pathological need to have a galaxy brained opinion on every conceivable topic, and he’s given me countless hours of free entertainment. colonelwest has issued a correction as of 13:52 on Oct 5, 2023 |

the “if you want the war to end Russia should just go home” and “no negotiations ever” freaks are driving me insane lol. ukraine isn’t capable of achieving their “total victory or death” goal which means they’re inevitably eventually going to hit the “or death” outcome if the war continues indefinitely. the only way for these freaks to save Ukrainian lives, the fascist Ukrainian state, or it’s “democracy” at this point is a negotiated settlement based on the current lines (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)
