I initially thought buying twitter was about converting massively overvalued TSLA stock into only somewhat overvalued TWTR stock. I now think I was wrong.
Another stupid play is to merge verification with membership. I thought he would add a new membership tier along blue check mark to have some extra income. Instead he actually chose the bizarre route and sabotaged the verification. Maybe he is really being paid by the Saudis to intentionally ruin Twitter to reduce the freedom of speech
Because the sell the whole time was to let people roleplay as famous people. And that would have worked a bit more if the actual celebrities didn't immediately respond with "ew, no"
The features are ... pretty crummy. Longform tweets nobody wants to read, up to what ... 40 hour videos that nobody will watch. A basic functionality like edit?
And now the funniest one: getting paid to tweet, which the biggest accounts on Twitter got joke RPM to entice people to sign up for blue. I feel really bad for anyone who thinks they're going to make their $8 back.
He can't get any of this right and he seriously is already talking about becoming a bank or payment system? Good luck.
