Of note: At one point, he also looked out at the audience and said "Hey Bob, if you're in the audience," presumably in reference to Disney CEO Bob Iger who spoke on stage earlier. "That's how I feel, don't advertise," he added.
FFS. Tesla, SpaceX - what are you doing? Eject this chud now.
the business genius, everyone!
Oops I killed the nerve center of American journalism that constantly reported on my repeated business failure, legal and ethical malfeasance, sexual misadventures, and despicable origin.
Whoops.
Pretty expensive, ineffective way to go about it.
Lazy journalism maybe. Ooh a tweet let me barf out three paragraphs about it all done journalism’s fun!
Why would they go fuck themselves when they could fuck with your ad revenue instead? 🤡
Cuz that’s how you get herpes?
I'm convinced the reason Musk rebranded away from Twitter is so that they can sell off the brand name when the business inevitably folds.
Since many. many people still call it twitter, he is still killing the brand name. Google tried to rebrand as alphabet and FB as Meta but everyone still knows them as goofle and fb.
If/When the business folds I feel the office furniture will be worth more than the Twitter brand.
I feel like meta is slowly succeeding at getting people to call them meta when not referring directly to the Facebook website specifically. Like for their idiotic VR initiative and whatnot. Slowly. And it helps that it’s in the context on non-Facebook-the-website activities.
Twitter has no such advantage.
Are you talking about media reports or actual humans?
I have yet to hear a person call it meta or anyone use that term online.
fb, insta is all that I see and hear from people.
Media reports help as they influence and are influenced by larger numbers of people. When a media outlet no longer feels it necessary to specify to their readers that meta was formerly known as Facebook, that is an indicator of wider acceptance. Local anecdotes are less useful. Your friends and acquaintances don’t say meta. Mine do. That doesn’t really say anything about broader trends.
Goofle has really been going downhill lately
I actually believe him that he doesn't care about the money. He cares about his image and his ego when Twitter inevitably fails as a business.
How you gonna make money though Elon? Or is Twitter suddenly a non profit business.
Twitter's always been a non-profit (-making) business
That’s how a genius does business, folks.
Showed them!
Finally.
This way he can blame everyone but himself for destroying twitter.
This comment section is the most fediverse comment section of all comment sections
EDIT: Y'all, I agree with you. Your downvotes don't make it any less true.
Is that really a surprise?
The article and video is a steak to the fediverse's hungry dog.
Not a surprise at all. Just funny. I don't even disagree with them (despite the down votes) I'm just self aware enough to recognize when I'm being like that lol
