Misleading investors is one of Elon’s main jobs. And he’ll continue doing so, as we doesn’t face any consequences for it (expect for becoming ultra rich).
Are you a shareholder of TSLA? I am, and I am happy with Elon.

> an Elon-run Twitter would be a lot more profitable. I'm not so sure about that. He doesn't have a lot of experience with running ad sales. His big breaks have been PayPal (kind of), Tesla and SpaceX. None of which were social, none of which were "free".
My paypal account is free. It is way more useful than my twitter account which I don't even know my handle.

I sympathize but very rich people owning the media never ends well
Because that wasn't happening in the first place?
>I sympathize but very rich people owning the media never ends well
How does the history of the ultra-wealthy controlling the narrative in media for their own gain change that statement?

I’m curious how you think this is going to ruin anything for you. Do you mean on a tangible level, or on an emotional level? Do you actually think there will be large scale policy changes that will damage your ability to communicate with people via the platform? The valuable parts of Twitter seem to be when niche experts tweet about their niche and specific niche comedy. Everything else seems really unhealthy. I coul…
I know what I would like to change (better 3rd part app support, better anti-harassment tools). I don’t see why he would push for either one.
I don’t know what he WOULD push for, but I worry I won’t like it. He called for the edit button. I know that’s long requested but carries some serious downsides. And I don’t want them glossed over because they push to get it out to make him and his army happy.
I’m not a fan but I don’t think my liking Twitter and Elon being a big shareholder implies I am a fan of his. Twitter has enough of its own identity.
He filed forms that he was going to be a passive investor, and the same day joined the board after discussion that had been in the works for weeks. This is strike two on misleading investors. I haven't seen analysis on whether it was illegal, but I wouldn't want somebody like him on my board even if it succeeded in keeping him from buying up more stock. With him on the outside, maybe he causes more trouble than on th…

Is Elon a Republican or Conservative? I've seen variations of this regarding balancing ownership and improving free speech, but aside from a few cryptic tweets about cancel culture, has Elon ever said anything? In interviews (especially the famous Rogan interview) he seems pretty disinterested in politics.

>If he really wanted, he probably could single-handedly bring Android closer to iOS in the US by changing his phone to Android and tweeting about it. Not even Elon could save that dumpster fire. Android is so bad that even Google doesn't want to use it anymore (see: Fuchsia).
NSA backdoored proprietary iOS vs Open source GrahpeneOS....
Maintaining privacy against a state level actor is essentially a nerd fan fiction daydream. If the US government is after you, you're fucked no matter what.

It's Elon Musk, he can't help but being a wrecking ball. We're talking about the 'pedo guy' guy, after all. Twitter will get more attention for sure, but possibly not the kind of attention they want. But apparently there's no such thing as bad publicity. I think of of the interesting things to watch for is if he starts pressuring for the guy who tracks the movements of his private jet to have his account terminated.
Quite a wrecking ball creating Tesla and SpaceX. Lots of destruction there. /s

You can generate great returns for investors and mislead them at the same time.
