Elon Musk told advertisers who have halted spending on X due to his endorsement of an antisemitic post to “go f**k” themselves, in an unhinged interview with Andrew Ross Sorkin (who Elon calls Jonathan). Musk said that a recent exodus of big brands was “going to kill the company, and the whole world will know the advertisers killed the company”.
Musk, who bought Twitter (which he has renamed X) for $46.5 billion dollars (including transaction costs) in October 2022, dismissed the idea that he wanted advertisers to return. “If somebody is going to try to blackmail with advertising, blackmail me with money, go f**k yourself,” he said. “Go. F**k. Yourself. Is that clear, I hope it is.”
On December 10th Elon Musk reinstated the twitter account of the controversial podcaster Alex Jones reversing his statement from a year earlier to keep Jones off the social network.
Twitter makes almost all of its revenue from advertising and is saddled with $13 billion dollars of debt. Is Twitter about to go bankrupt?

If you tune out the news, it feels like nothing has changed on Twitter and everything has. On one end, the migration from Twitter hasn't gone well. From personal perspective , my feeds across politics and fandoms are almost unchanged. On the other hand, there's all this new bs, like more alt right accounts and needing an account to view tweets, but it feels normal on Twitter.

The comment is that if a group of advocate managers of money can co opt their mission to make more money for shareholders into we control the political agenda of the nation and kill twitter in the process, it has ripple effects though the entire corporate world, it means no companies can sit on the fence anymore. The ppl making the business political are using pension money that doesn't know what its being used for; and the real poison pill if twitter goes down is a fight to make the owners of that pension fund money aware of what their money is really being used for.

The most important impact of Twitter Blue was on Tumblr, which started selling checkmarks that, it was very clear, don't mean anything at all. Tumblr also allowed users to buy an unlimited number of checkmarks which would all be appended in series after the blog name. This was wildly popular, as Tumblr users love nonsense and don't care if their platform is at all usable. Many blogs purchased dozens of checkmarks that stacked to the extent that it broke the template and the blog title was no longer readable, much to everyone's delight. It led to demands for other idiosyncratic features such as being able to send animated dancing crabs to cover the dashboards of other users.

I have no need since I have no desire to post or comment. RU-vid was the same for awhile, since my viewing history already kept my favorite channels on my main page, I didn't have a RU-vid account for years and years. Now they've made the home page, both with and without an account, since they force shit you have never shown an interest in onto it solely because they want to retain eyeballs. It's why everything has gone to short-form content, to maximize the ability to retain people for hours on 15-30 second clips.

The fact you think that has no baring on society makes you colossally out of touch. I don’t personally use Twitter but I fully recognize that it is literally how most live footage of any news worthy event is decimated to the public. How any artist performer, speaker, author or celebrity communicates with the public. It is obvious that it is not something which will be replaceable.

Twitter had profitable quarters before Musk bought it, it wasn’t every quarter, but they would have them. The big deal then was that their debt was low (read, in the millions of dollars), and CHEAP, aka low interest rates, so they could continue to operate without a profit. Now that Musk bought it, the debt has ballooned to billions of dollars, and exists at a much higher interest rate. So it costs way more just to service their debt, regardless of the cut of “bloat” (aka all the people who were keeping it servicably running)

The thing is: The market value of Twitter had nothing to do with its revenue and still does not. It has lost money most years and had no way of turning that around. What it did have was a captive audience that they could censor and influence. Twitter was extremely important in shaping public opinions and a lot of leftist corporations were willing to overpay for advertising in order to support the company that supported their values. That was the source of its value. Now that twitter no longer have a leftist bent they no longer have any reason to pay it. Better to destroy it and hope that its audience move over to a platform that they still control.

@@xdeep_freeze3684 - I broadly agree, although there did seem to be at least a brief period where it wasn't actively promoting the literal worst people on the platform all the time. Musk's libertarian fantasy that all you need to do to make a great social media platform is to not moderate it at all (except when you feel like it) is depressingly common, but I think the reason he felt moved to buy Twitter is that, whenever competing social media platforms have been set up with "no censorship!" as their main selling point... they've *only* attracted the shittiest people. And when those people find out that no one else is using those platforms, they tended to stick around on Twitter too. Musk really paid for the built-in userbase, and while he's eroded it considerably, it's still bigger than it probably would've been if he'd tried to set up a platform on his own, because who the fuck would ever choose to use Elon Musk's social media platform if it isn't the one everyone is already using. The main thing that Twitter had going for it before Musk bought it - just like every other remotely successful social media platform - is that it was moderated. Not a lot, but enough to make using the site less of a chore than... well, than it is now. I'm not anti-social media, I'm a relatively avid user... but I'd deep throat a lorry exhaust before I go back to Twitter in its current state.

He'll most likely ruin it like he did that solar company, and the neural implant company, where all the principle researchers jumped ship. Tesla and SpaceX were buoying up his finances, and there are now cracks forming in those two outfits. Social media was always problematic for "free speech" advocates. If you want to make money, you need advertisers, or subscription fees. Advertisers want to avoid controversy, so anything mildly offensive can cause problems. Its not a left or right thing. Its a stay out-of-politics-completely stance.

Unfortunately for them, they couldn´t really keep it up and rarely ever saw profitable quarters. So of course costs had to be cut, especially with ad boycotts from big companies(which often looked like coordinated attacks). And what would you know, the company cut 80% of their work force and the site still works.
