I hope ads will die some day. To me they are just annoying and very rarely informative.
Where's the funding come from, then? That was not a cheap purchase.
Would be interesting if he makes Twitter more dev friendly (open APIs etc)
Maybe if they go private they can work on user focused stuff. I'd like to be able to use the site again without being forced to sign in.
Prediction: Brain drain at Twitter begins as Elon starts enacting unpopular policies. Valuation tanks. Morale becomes non-existent and Twitter slowly starts to fade from existence while competitors begin to fill the void. I give it 3-5 years before it's gone full husk.
I doubt that will happen, I’m no Elon fanboy but he is a very capable business leader. He has clear plans to increase growth, and increase revenue. Both of those require policies that don’t push either users or advertisers away. I suspect he will surprise us with some product decisions, but I wouldn’t bet against him. I’m sure he will upset some users and some advertisers, but on the whole he understands that in orde…

I think the thing to watch will be ads and other revenue streams. Most companies aren't going to want their ads next to 'free for all' content, so we'll see what happens.
I agree. I think he understands that, as indicated by https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1585619322239561728 That doesn't sound like someone burning Twitter to the ground. Also, many are acting like Musk has free rein in running the company. Yes and no.
