Elon Musk is actively dismantling the experience that brought people to Twitter in the first place. They’re not going to pay for a declining platform. When Twitter dies, it needs to take Musk and the genius myth he built around himself with it. We shouldn’t let him try to shape our future anymore. https://www.disconnect.blog/p/twitters-moment-of-truth-has-arrived 14 comments
 @parismarx Some people may disagree with you on this topic: https://insideevs.com/news/658908/elon-musk-make-twitter-cash-flow-positive-next-quarter/ @tannat @parismarx Yeah it's a bit hard to find people who aren't either Musk or complete sycophant *and* think Musk will turn Twitter into a cash cow. I just laughed so hard at this headline and its disconnect from the actual article content that It burned into my mind. Might as well share the laughs @jkb @parismarx Hmnnnn… I wonder who the main ad sponsors of that website so sycophantically singing the praise of Musk might be… 😂 @deivudesu @parismarx What are you implying? The name of that site is "Inside EVs" not "gigantic ad for Tesla". Clearly this is an entirely independent and completely objective source of information. This is not Teslarati. (yes, Teslarati is a thing) @parismarx Largely agree, and I'm rather sad to see the long twilight decline. But I'm a bit surprised to see a longish half-life.  @parismarx >When Twitter dies  @parismarx  @parismarx American financial regulators prefer not to do anything against hucksters like #Musk, as long as he's making money for the people. Guess, what will happen when he has to sell a huge volume of his #Tesla shares to pay for the interest on his #Twitter loan. Once people start lose money in their investments with Musk, he'll go the way of Elizabeth Holmes or Trevor Milton. @nicemicro @parismarx He already did that. Last year. Had to sell off nearly half his Tesla stake due to Twitter. Used to own a quarter of the company, had to sell down to 13,6%. Everything went wrong for him with that buy, and it cost him dearly. ;) Note that he also owns over half of SpaceX. But that's a private company, and so is much harder to sell a stake in. He also doesn't want to go under 50%, or he'll lose absolute control over it. @nicemicro @parismarx Important note, though: Tesla isn't Musk. Musk isn't Tesla. He barely even spends time at Tesla anymore, by his own admission. Betting against Tesla is a widowmaker bet, made by people with no understanding of the EV market. Just a warning. |

@parismarx I wish we'd take the Musk lesson and apply it to all other billionaires too.
