He should do what made him rich. Have the taxpayers subsidize Twitter just like we've done with Tesla.
Social media is scourge of the earth anyway.
Well, cutting his payroll in half will help.
The advertisers will come around.
Not sure how well going after the companies ourselves would work. Probably be best for somebody proficient at it to dig up dirt on “nandoodles” and use it against her.
Of course, they have also fully embraced Gleichschaltung but that is a practice that was championed by another socialist to the North.
That’s okay. Once all the pins move on, new revenue will be generated by companies that don’t buy into the woke.
General Motors, General Mills, Pfizer, Audi, IPG, Ford, Mondelez (Oreos), VW. These are the ones I can find.
You don’t need any of them. Especially VW and Audi. I know because I own one. Wouldn’t buy another.
The cancel mob has a very very long list of those they will eternally hate. They add new targets to their list with a fever of reletlntless attacks. But they can’t attack everybody at once. Advertisers will only respect the boycott while the mobs attention is on Musk. When it moves on they will quietly start advertising. They can’t afford to avoid dping business with everybody on the mobs endlessly expanding list. It makes sense to them to just avoid the ones currently focused on temporarily.
Elon, how about appeasing the 80% of normal republicans and democrats, vs the 20% activists? The liberal activists will never compromise.. their goal is now your destruction.
I know its hard for a smart logical guy to understand the radical’s way of thinking, but as John McClane said “welcome to the party pal”...
Imagine if they were thrown off social media?
Of course it was. Ron Popeil could not have done a better job of the flim flam sales scam.
If you act now, not 39.99, not 29.99, not even 19.99. For the low low price of $8 you get all that and if you act now we throw in an edit button and free shipping... just pay handling on the edit button.
Elon isn’t a fool. $8 sounds like a bargain the way he has framed it.
LOL!
This makes no sense. So Leftists will use... what? as a replacement for Twitter?
LOL!
This should be utterly unsurprising, and I would have assumed Elon would assume this would be the initial reaction. Let’s see how things look a few months down the road.
I am hopeful he will not now foolishly offer them a bigger branch.
([number of twitter accounts] / 2) * $8.00 x 12
- ([entire workforce] * .75 * $100,000)
= net annual profit (before taxes).
Can someone fill in the numbers and due the math?
2 - assumes losing half the twitter account or those who won’t sign up
.75 - assumes 3/4 of the workforce is being let go at a $100K annual salary.
12 - months in a year
>>Well, with such a massive drop in revenue, there’s only one thing to do; lower expenses.
>>Lay off half the workforce....
Precisely why he’s making the comment - justify the coming personnel massacre.
Can’t wait for the advertiser lawsuits against the former execs when the Musk regime starts x-raying the Twitter books and finds massive ad rate overcharging determined by fake use statistics.
Companies are free to leave if they don’t want to advertise. That’s what capitalism is all about.
“Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers”
easy-peasy, just fire another 50% of staff ...
Leftist censorship strikes again. Remember, these people have to run everything. Dissent is not tolerated.
Musk doesn’t care.
