Musk is to Zuckerberg what Donald Trump is to Sheldon Adelson. They’re in the same business, but one is a ruthless, highly-adapted predator owning the industry and making a killing, while the other is a large adult failson frittering away his inheritance cosplaying as the other guy and managing to go bankrupt running a casino.
Donald Trump is ruthless. Not because he needs to be, but because he uses it to stroke his ego, like compulsive masturbator uses his hand to stroke his...
So can we now stop embedding Twits in articles instead of simply including the pictures?
Do it for the ~~Vine~~ X. Just doesn't have the same ring to it. (Or a different ring cough.)
I suppose that's better than being a 'white supremacists first platform' but I bet they'll probably still do that too.
In a few more months, it will turn into world's most serious scientist's exchange, and next year (if it's still not dead) it's going to evolve further into a platform for testing and comparing children's games of different cultures and hair colors.
A few months back and he was driving his employees to produce banking apps and god knows what else. I wonder what they think of their mercurial asshole boss who'll demand everything all at once.
It's "just" programming, how hard are can it be the program the app that does everything? /s
I'm still not convinced this wasn't just an effort by Saudi Arabia to dismantle the platform.
"Pivot to video" - How many popular sites turned to shit and died 15 years ago.
It's not a video service, it's a pile of poo.
Something that I feel needs to be reiterated with all of these "news" pieces - the "71% drop" everyone is touting is from the stupidly high price Musk bought Twitter for that only ever represented his desire to flex, not the value held by the site itself. Even Musk knew it wasn't worth that much and tried desperately to get out of the deal himself.
Twitter was trading around $40 at the time he made the offer for $54 per share. At the current value, that equals $15 per share. The last time Twitter was trading at that value was 2017.
These are all rough numbers based on some graphs I looked over quickly.
If you want to play devils advocate on this topic you should understand what you're talking about.
There sure is a lots of video with young looking girls on there, but I'm not sure why anyone would be advertising that.
X, the platform formerly known as twitter, is now dealing in sour grapes.
This might work but on the other hand, the brand name "X" doesn't have a nice ring for the younger generation unlike TikTok or even Vine. "X" is so.... Gen X...(sorry, boomer for the young 'uns for everything before 2010).
Honestly if Elon The Musky Husky wanted to rebrand twitter as a competitor to Youtube, there's a 10% chance I might start using the platform, which is 10% more than usual.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
