What's interesting though is that it's now his private play-toy. If you want to buy a $1,000,000 Ferrari and thrash it into oblivion in 1 week that is totally your choice, have fun with that. It wouldn't be a free country if people could stop you doing so. He's doing the same thing here, he just has more money to play with, which I think it what people are ultimately annoyed about. Also worth pointing out that for ye…
It is not really his private play-toy. There was a bunch of other investors that joined him and I bet they're giving him heat about the results already.
Not to mention the interest payments on the debt that will be due in Q1.

#123> Going forward, there will be a vote for major policy changes. My apologies. Won’t happen again. Does he mean a twitter poll? https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1604616863673208832
Sounds like that second last full stop was a typo.

#124I voted No because this is the most interesting content to come out of Twitter in years and the spice must flow. It would've been fine if he published planned policy changes and asked the community for feedback before putting it in place. But actually making random policy changes and then rolling it back hours later is such bad form. The latest policy changes were so half-assed and dumb that it makes me wonder what's…
David Sacks?

Surely that's Elon's problem and has absolutely nothing to do with you and I. The people who signed up are all grown ups, they made their choices.

#126In the six weeks he's been CEO, he totally gutted Twitter, and chased away who knows how many advertisers. There's no reasonable way to right that ship. I think he knows he's on the Titanic. I think he's looking for a pretense to get out, to stop this from taking TSLA down with it even further. TSLA is down -50% in three months, whereas the S&P500 is flat.

OK, but if you do that, people will consider you reckless, and people will question whether they can trust you with other endeavors.
Hence TSLA sinking like lead.

#127Elon owning Twitter is the most public accountability Twitter has ever had. Him owning Twitter, the way he's currently operating, will force a critical eye toward a lot of bad behaviors that we all experience but nobody really talks about on every network. I say bravo. Twitter is dead. Long live Twitter.
As someone who already despised Twitter there is only good outcomes for me if it either declines into oblivion or they somehow rescue it from this pit into something more like ~2010-2012 Twitter moderation wise. Best case we get a more decentralized option or a centralized option that isn’t so politicized by the owners… or at least an owner who isn’t a contentious celebrity that is a black/white villain/hero to a big…
I like Mastodon but agree about the bubble. I think the best case scenario is something like a return to the glory days of RSS.

same, I've been longing for the collapse of Twitter for years.
the federated social web will outlive this.

Blake Masters.
Let’s up this a little bit to Eric Weinstein.

#130I voted yes. I'd much rather he get back to working on electric cars and space travel and leave the tribal warfare to others.
