On the other hand, the world is jumping to conclusions on the Twitter purchase. It's supposedly failed already while the author continues to use it, and cites a /tweet/ as being the first domino to fall on FTX. Don’t give Musk a pass, but don’t write the book on the Twitter purchase after a couple weeks either.
The author also thinks twitter can’t advertise because of a non relaxed posture while tweeting. In my experience twitter ads get more interaction because people see an ad and jump to comment on it. The typing “posture” in this case can be a benefit.
The negative is that some want to criticize the company instead of buying anything. Electric cars get comments about how it can’t tow a boat 600 miles and gas cars get comments about how they’re ruining the planet.
- saghm 4y agoTwitter was already the go-to place for real-time news like you mention, and yet it's pretty much always been unprofitable. In his first week running Twitter, his big idea for monetization failed because he apparently was unaware people are willing to lie on the internet. If he knows how to run the company better than the people before him, he's doing a good job hiding it.
