User growth is ‘stagnant’ on the platform formerly known as Twitter.
You must log in or register to comment.
…sounds like a good reason to cease operations and liquidate assets…
Someone should mass reply that means Musk is failing as a leader.
He’s really on a roll. X is a racist right-wing extremist horror show for any person with fucking common sense and forums are banning links to it. Got dumpstered by PoE community for boosting until he admitted it. Made fun of mercilessly by *nix geeks for his moronic woke mind tweet. Pivoted to “trolling” like he just discovered /pol and he can’t even do the salute correctly. He’s not good at anything. Even Trump looks visibly disgusted in every picture where they’re together.
[…] and while X has added some features, like job listings and a new video tab, there’s little sign of the service he’d said would be able to “someone’s entire financial life” by the end of 2024.
Yeah, wasn’t his dream to create some unified platform with X, a “super-app” that does everything? I guess if he was able to follow up on his promises, that’d generate some revenue… Instead, it’s always been some moderately toxic platform (albeit well used) and then just took a turn for the worse. I think “uninspiring” is a good word for this. But it’s definitely not his employees at fault, here.
If that was legitimately his goal then he should have kept the developers on that he got rid of, and just retasked them.
Moderately toxic?
Self destructive impulses, desires to own/control and nazis sure do go together.
overpay (by a lot) for the company.
a bazillion stupid-ass decisions.
chase users away.
chase advertisers away.
the stupid rebranding.
can’t make money. :::shocker:::
the ‘richest’ guy in the world whining about not making more. fuck off, old spice.
Don’t forget doing Nazi salutes in front of the world’s cameras.
You could also argue the price was worth the political influence it has given him. Probably made more money in other areas due to owning it.
He didnt buy twitter to own it, he bought twitter to destroy it. Gradually scattering the users onto their respective echo chamber platforms and controling the mainstream narrative as they do so.
definitely, getting tangled in politics and buying the white house definitely paid for twitter.
That won’t stop him from lording it over and blaming his subordinates as if it were personally their faults.
Elon Musk email to X staff: ‘we’re barely breaking even’
Honestly, I’m surprised that things are going that well.
He knows full well all-staff emails are going to be leaked. So he wanted this message to get out. If he hadn’t, he would have dealt only with the managers in meetings and let directives flow down to the scrubs that way.
I can’t fathom why he’d feel the need for this message to get out, as there don’t appear to be any consequences for him for anything at all, so… I’ll leave that to others.
because they’re not breaking even.
he’s that dumb seriously
Lol, are you taking this child at his word for a semi-public comment he made?
Come now… We all know better.
Well… now that you mention it there were more then a few half finished ends to my post where I speculated that maybe Mush was just stupid or deluded by the sycophants he surrounds himself with, but after struggling with the ending I decide to just keep it simple and take him at his word.
Considering how much he paid for Twitter I question his understanding of money and therefore his claim of “breaking even”.
You can be breaking even without making up the initial cost.
It just means they aren’t going into further debt.
Why do I get the impression if you get that email from management you’re hemorrhaging worse than the top TV doctors could save you? Unless it’s an end of season episode, but mid season they’re playing some sad music before the end. Oh and look it’s mid season…unless you’re on a streaming schedule.
Damn I’m old, they’re all on a streaming schedule now eh?
Yah, that’s a “we’re going down the waterfall, strap in” email.
That’s because your online life is a bubble and you’re not getting at all a realistic picture of the world.
I’ve reactivated my X account a couple of days ago just to see what’s happening. It’s a ghost town. None of the private accounts I’ve followed posted in the last 12 months. Granted, that’s probably because I’m in a non-fascist bubble. But posts from official accounts also have a lot less engagement although there’s a huge mass of bots posting conspiracy theories and all the ads I saw where scams
Hell yeah, the faster he runs it into the ground, the better!
pretty sure twitter was losing money before he bought it
It had actually just started breaking even, but all the experts agreed it had effectively reached market cap and thus would never take in the kind of cash its valuation implied from a purely financial perspective.
Then Elon significantly overpaid for it.
At least if you don’t factor in narrative control as value, if you view it as an investment in ending American democracy it was probably a decent purchase.
The whole point was to solidify the singular point of view (i.e. propaganda) and he’s done so…the rest is show
After teenager borrowed the car, he’s claimed in an email to parents that it’s in “a very dire situation, crash-wise.”
lol crash-wise! Love it.
“Vis-à-vis smoldering wreckage, 'n whatnot.”
“When all is said and done, with respect to maiming and killing, et al.”
I stopped using Twitter in 2019 because I’d had enough of the Donald Trump show. Didn’t log in again until the day Musk bought it, and that was just to delete it.
Good riddance.
As someone who just realized their twitter account was active after several years of not using it…This makes me entirely too happy that I deleted it.
So how long until they go into negative? 99 trillion years?
Aw fuck. X is breaking even? :-(
…i have a virulently-antifascist friend who laments emperor oompa-loopma 24/7 and he
won’t.
leave.
xitter.There’s no way a serial liar and Nazi could ever tell lies about how much money he’s making.
Twitter was a money pit before the take over and Elon has run it into the ground. It must be bleeding money.
Gee I wonder why.
It’s almost as national socialism was bad for business.
