marketshare

Maybe, but marketshare doesn't work the same way with social media is it does in more traditional catagories. Most of us typically purchase one brand of consumer product per segment. But the typical social media user has 3+ accounts on multiple platforms.

marketshare

Ask MySpace & Digg how durable that is when it comes to social media.

Remember kids, X.com was the name of his business that merged with Paypal that he quickly got punted out of management in.

I get it..Twitter's issues are do to its name.
Obvious answer is obvious.
Not due to pissing on its advertisers

Also if you triple it it's no longer family friendly

What advertising revenue?

The stuff that Twitter used to have

So Elon had killed off employees, advertising, marketshare, and now the brand..... What did he pay all that money for again?

I guess the user database? But yeah, it's just crazy how fast this has been destroyed, all because Elon wanted a meme offer

So what are the chances this X shit is just a giant troll job, like when he temporarily changed the Twitter logo to the Doge meme?

 

[MindzEye]

Low imo, Elon has been fixated on this stupid shit for 25 years now.

Bought the x.com domain in 2017 off of PayPal for example

I think he does believe he might be able to create a financial system outside of any government, and with that eventually a rules and information system completely independant of government as well. and change the world. That was probably what he originally was dreaming about with paypal.

I don't even hate the idea, though i doubt it would work or even be good.

i just wish he hadn't destroyed twitter to do it.

agree with all this, i'm sure people will be able to pay with untraceable bitcoin soon enough. it is hard to see it working though, considering every single decision he's made with Twitter has been idiotic so far.
