Elon vs Twitter update: Elon helped America win , Tesla stock through the roof

Heard on local sports talk radio a very reputable sportscaster, an icon of the local sports scene, pass on a fake story from twitter that the coach of the Raiders had been fired. He thought it was legit cause the account had a blue checkmark on it. The other people on the broadcast corrected him.

 

I see Musk's flaws, but it's interesting to watch how he gets stuff done. Is the initial implementation problematic? Yeah. Did they launch that blazingly fast? Yes. Will they eventually fix the stupid issues which occurred in the beginning? Yes.

In my company (sadly) and in many other tech companies I have seen, this would have gone back and forth through lots of committees, confluence pages, user testing, focus groups (ugh), compliance, regulatory, legal, discussions over several months and still, nothing would have been launched.

Have to say, Musk's way of doing things is probably better. To be fair, in the healthcare space, you have to be more careful.

P.S.: And @SamFisher is still just a bitter former ambulance chaser who spends a lot of time hating on actually successful people on a basketball message board. Nobody cares.

 

Musk single handily showing the little value CEOs of large corporations bring.


Time for tweets, interjecting on every topic and being a CEO of 5 corporations.

Not only that he's acting like a middle manager. Example is him making it policy that any work at home requests should directly be screened through him. What ****ing CEO has the time for that? Probably many as it seems like their skillsets and contributions to society are highly exaggerated.

 

Tilman Fertitta faints along with ten thousand Rockets fans fainting with him

 

You're so far behind times. Musk has already stated long ago he wants to turn Twitter into something similar to WeChat, which includes banking peoples money.

 

Maybe: MUSKovites?

I would like that, were I of the cloth.

 

Ooooooooh, Musk stated something! Fact! He NEVER LIES. Always delivers! Definitely NOT a con man.

 

That's prob where his fantastical goals come from...the incentive to work despite his ass holish behavior and deathmarches, like Steve Jobs or videogame cos.

 

You can see the MUSKLORDS like @AroundTheWorld @tinman @Space Ghost @Commodore preemptively laying the groundwork for his primary excuse on the not-insubtantial chance the ongoing trainwreck continues into Chapter 7 - if not for LEGAL and REGULATORS I would have made this awesome, like SBF did with FTX!

 

For the record, I am find Twitter highly annoying since Musk took over. They have completely ****ed up the algorithms. Im a very casual user so I wouldn't be able to understand the impact on power users (some people who dont use twitter but complain about it should take note). I have tuned out all politicians and highly political accounts to the point where I rarely see hot political discussions. In the past couple weeks, I now continuously see Hilary and Biden and now LeBron james tweets in my feeds all the time.

I feel like New Twitter is allowing people to power tweet, meaning making sure their tweets reach extended bases for a cost. Oh Wait yes. I remember specifically Musk stating he wanted to revamp advertising. It seems Musk is allowing people to advertise their tweet.

 

LOL - a few minutes after i posted this:

Elon Musk, in his first address to Twitter Inc. employees since purchasing the company for $44 billion, said that bankruptcy was a possibility, according to a person familiar with the matter.

 

Why would he be afraid of the FTC? If you have money to fight the court battle, bribe the politicians and delay indefinitely, while making a profit, where's the fear?

Has nothing to do with putting a rocket into space, though.

 

Twitter is the one fighting the FTC and it very definitely doesn't have the money.

But anyway, I wish them/him great success.

I mean, if you think about it, Twitter is a very successful litigant recently, having recently won a VERY high profile lawsuit against a very powerful individual, forcing him to do something he very much did not want to do, his name escapes me at the moment.

So maybe they'll have continued success!

 

Really? That's wild

 

He's apparently asking Twitter employees to self-certify things relating to the FTC consent degree, putting them directly in harm's way. That seems to be why these executives left, and it's doubtful and engineer is going to be willing to take on that risk either.

 

Along with the 3 execs that left this morning, two more this afternoon. I knew it would be trainwreck, but this is spiraling faster than I could have imagined.

Twitter's head of trust and safety and the company's interim head of advertising have both resigned, Axios has learned. Both appeared yesterday with Elon Musk on a Twitter Spaces chat designed to calm advertisers.

Details: Robin Wheeler, Twitter's VP of U.S. client solutions who appeared poised to become Twitter's next sales leader, is out, a source tells Axios.

• Without Wheeler, sources tell Axios, "That means it’s over ... Trust is gone."
• Musk pulled in Wheeler to address the advertising community in a Twitter Spaces event on Wednesday. During the event, Wheeler tried to get Musk to talk about brand safety and content moderation, but he mostly only wanted to discuss product.
• Yoel Roth, Twitter's senior director of trust and safety, alsoquit, Axios has learned. Musk had been leaning on Roth in the past few days to explain the company's efforts to mitigate harmful content from proliferating on the platform.

 

How many freaking "Chiefs" did Twitter have. Everyone and their mother seems to have had a C-level title there.

 

Ya anyone can call themselves CEO now a days.

Elon is CEO of five companies. The dude must be the GOAT in time management. He even has time to interject his opinion on everything on social media.

 

Lol, i read an article this AM headlined "Elon's New Guard inside Twitter takes shape" and it mentioned Roth and some of those other names that. just quit.

Time for a new new guard i guess

 

FWIW, they might be fake Hillarys, Bidens, and Lebrons paying $8 to push themselves onto your feed.
