the article references “mutilation” under the “pride propaganda” section. it’s safe to assume they have not gone woke
Twitter app been fucked up for me for months and tweets don't load on this website half the time. Think it's fair to assume any problem is with Twitter not working right
It's because he wants to pass off others work as his own. (see: Tesla, SpaceX, etc.). A lot of people fall for it as we saw earlier in this thread
He’s been doing it forever. His bootlickers never care when he steals their work with no credit. Spit on me daddy elon.
I know you’re being facetious, but I did want to find out how many subscribers he’d need to make up the difference in ad revenue. Ad revenue first week of May from last year was $88M / 41% = $214,634,146. That’s a difference of $126,634,136. At $8/blue check, he needs 15,829,268 active monthly subscriptions to make up the difference. Best estimate about 5 weeks ago was that only 640,000 had signed up, with many of those having cancelled. Good thing he has all those researchers lining up to pay him $500,000 annually so that they have API access to .3% of tweets to research what is happening on Twitter. Wait…
Oh and just a reminder he owes $300M every quarter on the debt used to finance the purchase. Using an $88M revenue per month average for ease, that would mean revenue from ads would be covering only about 88% of the quarterly debt service and none of the actual operating costs of Twitter.
Intentionally making your brand toxic to your core demographic in order to be more appealing to people that don't buy your product is some big brain shit. I'd have never thought of it.
Someone obviously hasn't read all the new business textbooks that explain the ingenuity of this strategy
you don’t like hearing 1000 people on the phone around you at the same time? That can’t be distracting at all…
