Elon's biggest problem @ Twitter - he's not funny at tweeting

And again, its his sandbox, he can be as childish and vindictive as he wants. And be called out for it. Which seems to be in character for him.

 

They were trying to protect their brand. When Twitter labeled them in a way that harm them, they stopped tweeting.

Musk actions harmed Twitter by showing your brand is not safe on his platform and showing users can’t trust who is who.

 

How is it childish and vindictive if he doesn't want someone to make hostile announcements and then promoting competitors on his platform?

 

How did Twitter label them in a way that harmed them?

lol found it

I think that's funny.

Not even entirely technically incorrect.

Equalizing them to China and Russia state sponsored “news” outlet.

NPR’s funding has been a point of controversy since its founding in 1970. NPR is officially a private company, but up until 1983, it received over half of its funding from the federal government through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). In that year, NPR nearly went bankrupt after years of financial mismanagement, and in the subsequent restructuring process, the organization was put under tighter controls by the CPB in exchange for loans. From the late 1980s, NPR generated increasing amounts of its revenue from charitable donations and licensing fees, though a significant portion of the fees come from private local stations which receive funding from CPB and state and local governments. Presently, NPR receives funding for less than 1% of its budget directly from the federal government, but receives almost 10% of its budget from federal, state, and local governments indirectly. https://www.npr.org/about-npr/178660742/public-radio-finances." title="" aria-describedby="qtip-1" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(7, 75, 162); transition: all 0.15s ease 0s;">2

 

Elon Musk gives ‘childish’ response to NPR quitting Twitter
https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-musk-gives-childish-response-121218430.html

 

Tesla might be dumping their cars, but the more it's tied to Marketing UberGenius Elon, the more it's going to be repelling to "frothing wokesters who don't work with cash to buy luxury cars"

lmao that's a buttload less in proportion to what Elon gets in gov and agency subsidies.

Bwu-Bwu-Bwuh Solyndra!!
Bwu-Bwu-Bwuh Tesla!!

 

Twitter churns on the label multiple times and ultimately removed the label. As I said, Twitter equalized npr to CCP and Russia state news. That’s completely inappropriate of Twitter

 

Musk’s flaws character doesn’t bold well for running a social media platform. He’s smart enough to know the brand safety and trust issues but can’t help himself but to continue warring with his user base. Where he excel at is operational excellence. He should really step down and hire a CEO to run Twitter.

 

He's worried about turnover, so he's doing the "hardcore Twitter" strategy where the people who stay are treated harsher and expected to work more with less. Whether that works with "unpaid talent" doesn't matter because just like there's a numbing Trump Effect, it applies to Elon's grating narcissism masked as Genius.

This will be lesson for Network Effects and social networks. Twitter can't acquire companies like what FB did to Insta or tried to do with Snap. All are getting smashed by Tiktok and will likely lobby the government to take them down. He's belatedly putting up walls and realizes if his member count is as good as it gets (per relative growth), then brandishing it as a weapon is a more of a use-it-or-lose-it thing.

And hey, if Hardcore Twitter is successful (as he's learned/got away with in previous corporate experience), then it's all the better. More cashflow, more opportunities to be an ******* and get away with it.

But it's not like Elon is an IT billionaire like Zuck. He needs customers who will pay a premium and continue to like His Brand to subscribe to more junk. Tesla has very small marketing expenses compared to other car companies. Tesla's in danger of becoming a sub-luxury tech product into an economy electric car with aging-commonplace features and a decade old mold. Do Bud Light Boycotters like to drive 40k electric sedans?

Sure as hell didn't want to drive 25k Chevy Bolts...

But I'm more willing to bet early adopter Tesla drivers have NPR on their preset or playlists. They're probably in need of upgrading. Not because their Tesla is breaking down, but just because they can.

 

And you wonder why advertisers are leaving Twitter.......

 

As someone who owns a business I can't even phantom how utterly insane your take is. Instead of trying to win back that customer like any other entrepreneur would attempt to do your take is to kick them off completely and write them off?

Jesus christ I hope some of you folks never get into business. Your brains have been rotten by politics.

 

I can't believe you don't understand how Musk's moves around NPR are much more damaging to Twitter than they are to NPR. If he actually followed through, vacated their handle, and let someone else pick it up, it would-

1. signal to other organizations that their brands are in danger on Twitter
2. undermine (even more than has already occurred) users' confidence in the sources of information on Twitter

Basically, he's ****ing Twitter coming and going- users and content producers. Brilliant.

 

which advertisers left twitter?

 

From fall 2022:

From spring 2023

Thanks for the links.

I was looking for something more specific like earnings reports, press releases, ect.. vs news sites

 

Twitter isn’t public anymore….

The Axios link does show the best guess of revenue from advertising and it’s shrinking considerably.
