Elon Musk Agrees to $44b Deal for Twitter

[MicroBrew]

uhhh no

twitter of old had people removed from the platform, that's a whole lot different than having a few of your posts unranked.

people lose ranking all the time without getting removed from platform, it's the very nature of social media

I didn't say it was exactly like old Twitter, but it is still censorship.

It’s a form of shadow banning, far different than getting booted from the platform. Quit pretending we’re talking about anything remotely similar.

 

[HOLA]

What could possibly be more degrading than being a Musk bootlicker at this point? Possibly being a Zuckerberg stan? I'm not sure those actually exist, though.

Looks like your “censorship” narrative is falling apart

The way I see this playing out, Twitter is purged of all of these employees that don't want to be there with majority wasting the companies dollars while holding the company back. The company gets lean, adds new employees, but a fraction of the ones that left and the company continues to improve and grow at a significantly faster pace.

Yeah, my take is you don't know much about management

 

[Pride23]

Yeah, my take is you don't know much about management

I have managed teams at two different companies but more importantly, Elon has built some of the greatest companies on the planet. What have you done?

 

[K1levelgrappler]

lmao

 

[Confucamus]

watching the left in a continuous meltdown for the last two weeks has been wonderful.

It’s hilarious. They always tend to spend the most time talking about people that they supposedly hate and care very little about. The outrage over losing their safe space on Twitter has been the gift that has kept on giving.

LOL Twitter employees locked out of their offices unless they work longer hours. Musk is fucking autistic workaholic who happens to be incredibly rich. He needs to employ an HR specialist to deal with homo sapiens on his behalf and they can translate his demands into something more human.

I am finishing my master's degree in management sciences. I've worked in management consulting, and as a workforce manager.

Your analysis is dogshit

 

[curryjunkie]

Damien, whats your take on this story as somebody who has worked for him?
Elon Musk’s track record as a boss is an endless scroll of impulse firings, retribution, tone-deafness on race — and the impregnation of a subordinate. https://www.latimes.com/business/st...kz_RhOLkEMcjaIcOD0A20OkU7y90KztCcslRusCCtrusI

 

[Via Heeto]

Yeah, my take is you don't know much about management

you should reach out to Musk and offer to take over managing his businesses, offering him to take them to heights he never knew he could reach

You still dont get it. NO outrage just dunking on Elon.
Elon worked himself into a shoot, overpaid for a social media site that never made any money. Ever wonder why the board was like hell yeah, when Elon made his offer. They knew he over paid as well. I had no problem with him cutting staff, he needed too because Twitter loses money. Everything after that has been a serious of follies, which due to his hubris has been all his fault.
LIke 95% of his revenue is generated through ad dollars and he thought it was a good idea for his advertisers or potential advertisers to get trolled. Some even asked legit questions of him, and since Elon is soft as warm butter, he banned their accounts. He might be able to make money but not the way he is going. Dont forget he leveraged all his Telsa stock to buy it, and Tesla stock has been dropping. Who do you think buys Telsa's, it aint dudes that cheer him on for triggering libs. It has been an all-around fuck up, and I am here to laugh at every misstep while watching his fan bois, defend bad decision after bad decision. Elon buying Twitter has been a nice gift for me, just to watch him burn it into the ground and get mocked while doing it.

 

[Culombo]

that is much better .. I thought he meant the entire account itself

Care to give us a timeline regarding the bankruptcy of Twatter?
Less than a year? Will he lose Tesla as well?
Serious question…

Twitter had a brilliant, incredibly successful business model and it worked flawlessly.

Build something incredibly popular that doesn't make money and wait for a moronic billionaire to buy it.

Elon could take a big steaming dump right on our chuds' Cheetos stained beds, just like his old paramour Amber Turd liked to do with Depp, and they'd still insist Musk's critics are jealous of all "their" winning. "Look at all this free fertilizer we have, you guys are triggered, this is hilarious!"

 

[HereticBD]

Twitter had a brilliant, incredibly successful business model and it worked flawlessly.

They were operating at massive losses(or do you think Musk caused all that?), and were testifying in front of congress every other week for a variety of reasons. Totally flawless.

Wave those pom poms, dork.

 

[panamaican]

That looks like a solid policy tbh

It's the same old freedom of speech but not freedom from consequences that every breathing rational person grasped but that we spend months and years listening to people argue vociferously that consequences undermined free speech. Now, instead of "consequences" it's just "no freedom of reach" and the "my freedom speech" people are going to nod their heads in quiet agreement, oblivious to the rank hypocrisy in their prior whinging.

I have no issue with what Musk is doing but those months of free speech arguments really grinds my gears.
