Agreed. He has explicitly said he intends to take it public once it starts making money at the same levels of other tech companies (I.e. via reducing headcount and increasing income from users)
I don't think he is worried about any loss it might make if it doesn't work out, people are putting too much value on that but only as it would impact the ability to get funds for future endeavours.
- mhoad 4y agoWhy on earth would you say that someone is not worried about losing a $44 billion investment? That’s really not based on reality and the number of random changes they are currently pushing with zero strategic foresight makes it very clear that despite the blistering they are very much concerned.
- dkrich 4y agoYep and if you look at it through that lens it all becomes fairly predictable. Bringing trump back presumably increases controversy and engagement. Everything he does between now and taking it public will be to maximize attention no matter what. Expect many more off the cuff decisions/announcements in the coming weeks. As an aside it would be interesting if after all this football spiking by the Elon fans about how dispensable Twitter engineers are (I don’t have a strong opinion on this not really knowing the answer) the site does end up suffering a major outage due to a hack or something else. Given the number of personnel and policy changes that have seemingly been made with no planning or thought the odds of that would seem better than zero.
