Musk put up a Pole
to ask if he should stay as CEO
57% No.

But he is still there, saying no one wants to take over?


Snoop Dogg
did his own Poll,
Should he run Twitter
He won that.

No one seems to know what Elon is doing.

He would still be the distant owner

Sure ,
you do not need Twitter
but there are posters
from all around the World.

Some Interests
you M. M. have,
are on Twitter


You can follow good posters that you
personally like


And Unfollow them



It is a Fantastic
communication.

Oh I don't have personal issues with Twitter, it's just I'm not the greatest in social situations tbh, and everything is very public on there.

I do know that a lot of Twitter users are saying that Elon Musk is allowing prejudice to slip by though.

Yes but like TIBB

You are M. M.

So they do not know your Identity



And that Young BBC reporter
refused to tell Elon
any real threats

I have not seen any of my lot
leave


If Extreme Left Wingers all Leaving
that is fine by me

Musk is simply saying pay Ł11 a month to him
if you wish to have a Blue Tick.


Many at the BBC are happy to pay to get their Blue Tick.


To me, it is not a problem
I know many without a blue tick.

For Example
Lucy Fisher moved from Times Radio DAB
to the Financial Times Paper

So I then start Following heron Twitter
as I know her views already
from what she has spoken on Times Radio DAB

Musk is realising that it's those with the most followers that create the whole twitter audience engagement and that, as a consequence, is what drives advertising revenues. The revenue from blue tick subs is a drop in the ocean compared to advertising revenue

The only two possibilities here, I think, are

1) He underestimated people's pride/stubbornness and assumed they would subscribe, but it's seen as a bit "uncool" .

or 2) He knew they wouldn't, he knew it would piss people off, and he's actively trying to bankrupt the company. Given a few of his recent moves, I find this a very real possibility. I have no idea what he would gain from doing so but some of his decisions are unfathomable if it's not the case.

Maybe it was just a powerplay to put across to people that he is now in charge and he has authority now?

it wouldn't surprise me if he is preparing the company to sell it on. Yes, he will have lost some money, but he has stirred up the whole arena
