That's a really good question, and much more interesting to me than just commenting on an ongoing train wreck.
I suppose that we would need to first decide whether (in this scenario where he succeeded) Elon had actually fixed Twitter, or whether he tore it down to the studs and built a different company out of it, one which happened to be called Twitter, but did something completely different, with new people and new leadership. It feels like that's what he wants to do, and maybe that's why he's not backing down as everybody in the company leaves.
- googlryas 4y agoIsn't Twitter about sending short messages to the world or to people who are listening to you? How different are you envisioning Twitter could be? I really just want to make sure this isn't a cop out in the chances his stunts succeed(ie yeah it's successful now but it's different!)
- karaterobot 4y agoI mean it sounds like he wants it to be a messaging service that functions as a payment service, and possibly also loans money (according to that Q&A session). I have no idea what his vision for the company actually is, it just sounds like his mantra is "anything is on the table at this point, but we need to make money fast".
