Twitter CMO: Elon Musk has “questionable ethics”, expects mass exodus

- quantified 4y agoMisleading title!
- version_five 4y agoMass exodus would be a good thing. If he wants it to change, there is no reason to keep people that are not onboard with whatever it is he wants to do. And there are probably lots that would like to work there under the new regime. Musk should communicate what changes he intends asap, and let people get on board of bail asap, to get on with whatever he's doing.
- Flankk 4y agoSour grapes. These princesses won't be able to hamper growth with their poor leadership any longer. Find a job ruining another company. Twitter is about to go to the moon. When the millions of bot accounts are deleted MSM will call it an exodus.
- ttyp3 4y agoTo be accurate (and in fairness), it appears that these may have been employee-submitted questions presented by the CMO acting as moderator, correct?
- sbinthree 4y agoAs if Musk would keep the marketing team anyways lol.
- smoldesu 4y agoA mass exodus has already begun. Mastodon has been blowing up over the past few days, I think ~600,000 accounts have been made in the last 24 hours on the main instance alone. I'm pretty excited for the future if people are this willing to go back to federated social media.

Wow, that's stunning. Does anyone currently track or graph these stats? > I'm pretty excited for the future if people are this willing to go back to federated social media. I wonder if we'll see a resurgence of aggregator (like FriendFeed) or real-time search (like Collecta) startups/services.
- jleyank 4y agoBut how will Musk, or actually his bankers, recover 44B and make a profit on a microblogging service?? And what will it look like when the do?
- cyanydeez 4y agoSell access to trolls & bots.
- jerojero 4y agoProbably use the platform to help his other businesses, starlink, tesla, boring, etc. This is what many billionaires do when they buy TV and Radio stations as well as newspapers. It's more of a political tool than anything else, I would suspect.
