So far he seems to be right. NB I’m not Musk fan, but it’s pretty amazing how far vendors and landlords are willing to bend to maintain the prestige of having Twitter as a client
- JohnFen 3y ago> the prestige of having Twitter as a client Wait, what? There's prestige in that?
- rnk 3y agoAt some point of course they were a publicly lauded company, a known silicon valley brand. Now they're a trash dumpster company.
- bruceb 3y agoTwitter still seems to be used by entertainment stars, sports stars, politicians, and business leaders around the world. Hating Musk doesn't change this.
- rnk 3y agoBut it's much less used than before ;-)
- lost_tourist 3y agoDo you have stats to back that up? Seriously I'd be curious and not disappointed at all, but when I go to twitter it looks as active as ever in my feed.
- bruceb 3y agowhat does much less used mean? Allegedly there is slight down tick in users, but nothing of real note.
- x0x0 3y agoI don't think it's prestige; I think it's the lack of (for landlords) alternate paying customers. I suspect if that we were in a pre-covid real estate market these evictions would have gone way faster. As it is, it's not like the landlord has potential customers waiting in the wings, so treating this as what it is (ie a price negotiation) seems like a value-optimizing strategy.
- cwkoss 3y agoWhat does NB mean in this context?
- r2_pilot 3y agoLikely "nota bene", or note well; saying to please note he is not a Musk fan.
- croisillon 3y agoNota Bene
- mrtksn 3y agoIsn't it hard to find tenants for office buildings these days? Maybe Musk simply exploits this situation.
