They aren't coming up with anything because he's doing it on his own.  Elmo can either try and make his followers bug their moms for more money, he can completely lock twitter down to only paying customers (which is clearly where things are headed), or he can pay those employees out of his own pockets.

[Mrs Whiggins 13050]

Prior to the acquisition, the platform was populated with a lot of govt accounts and was extremely useful in that regard. During the fires in the western US, during Harvey and other tropical events, breaking news world-wide, it provided those accounts from agencies at a small local level all the way up to the behemoth federal level to give updates, relevant information, etc.

Those had all of that disrupted post-Dorsey and in a variety of ways that were, to me, rather intentional. I wouldn't say that the government does not want X to continue, I would say the people who work for the government from the smallest post office or county agency to the WH would rather not have had  their accounts hijacked by this billionaire with Daddy issues. So they refuse to pay the ransom. Elon has made a lot of money by using other people's money and ideas and now he can use his own if he wants to turn X into a blue version of Gab. Which, by the way, I wonder if they're steamed that he's cutting into their user base.

if anyone thinks he doesn't regret buying Twitter they are fucking morons. he tried for months to get out of it. yes, he regrets it now just like he did before the dumb "let that sink in" day and just like he did before it was official.

government/media don't want it to continue? in the words of your leader: go fuck yourself. twitter was fine 13 months ago. it had a fairly sustainable business plan in place that with tweaks would have MADE money and made Elon look smart ("look how many years they lost money - now they are making it because of me") - but he couldn't help himself.

they are in the situation they are in today 100% because of Elon.

maybe if he just didn't replatform a ton of hate accounts, tweet out antisemitic things, conspiracy theories and FUCKING PIZZAGATE he wouldn't be in this situation

but sure. it's the media. and the government. that's the issue with this situation.

How are the government and the media involved in this self-immolation?

The conspiracy that Elon is a victim of is that American consumers are by and large good people who don’t want to support companies that promote hate.  Brand X sells to the public, and has a small engagement with Twitter as a vendor.  Twitter’s CEO does something the general public (you obviously are outside that group) finds repulsive, and brand X decides it’s in their best interest to not be associated with Twitter as they should be allowed to do in a free market economy.

There is no government/media conspiracy trying to take down Elon.  Across all his companies, the government is Elon’s biggest customer.

The ignorance Musk speaks with in regards to X and their algorithm is amazing to watch. He mentions how bad it is on TikTok (he's right), but doesn't realize X is now doing the exact same thing on the For You page. 

Since he's purchased Twitter, I now am fed video clips of people being shot and killed on my For You page. I do not follow these accounts. I do not engage with these accounts. 

The algorithm also shows me tweets from far right political accounts. I've purposely curated my feed to not be about politics anymore. If I watch a few seconds of a right winger's video and then refresh my For You page, I'm completely inundated with more Far Right posts and video. It's the same rabbit hole bullshit that happens on TikTok.

Nothing else will fully replace X as it's had an almost 2 decade head start of operational (not financial) success.

This is important to understand.  Earth is already speaking.  A large portion and majority (i.e. the mainstream) of us dislike Elon's views to such a degree that we are leaving the platform.  That's the sum total of the conspiracy.  Elon is being socially rejected because he is socially abhorrent.  Its not the guvment.  Its not the media.  Its not woke corporate blackmail.  Its Elon being awful and mainstream society saying "Um, yeah, no thanks. You're awful.  I'll get my breaking news elsewhere."  And when we as consumers move on, Twitter becomes of lesser and lesser value to corporate America and they finally move on, too.

Ironically, that's all breaking news to Elon, who only hears what he wants to hear in the echo chamber he's erected around himself.  Hence his visible shock when the audience didn't erupt into effluent adoration when he told advertisers to go fuck themselves.  Its lost on all of his supporters, too, which are likewise living inside the Elon informational bubble.

That is what gives me the most hope for the future.  The assholes who want to upend mainstream US society are constructing their strategies in a fantasy land not reflective of reality or the society that the vast majority of people want to live in.  And they are clueless to that fact because they surround themselves only with the voices they want to hear.

The evolution of ads I'm seeing has been bizzare.  Every 3 like yourself, but now I'm getting ads for personalized tshirts or other clothing, or knockoff Rolex's.  Previously it was crypto, sex toys and AI.  And all these accounts are a name with digits afterwards, and random photos for avatars.  It's as if these bot armies of accounts Elon bitched about years ago suddenly found a new purpose---advertising.

Yes. And the odd, forced mannerisms support that. This reminds me of reading a Robert Heinlein novel (Number of the Beast, if you must know. 0/10, would not recommend) where the characters spend page, after page, after page describing how much being naked is not a big deal. After going on about this for quite some time, I'm just thinking, "If it's such not a big deal to you, why are you making such a big deal out of it?" If you ever encounter someone for whom nudity actually isn't a big deal, you'll find they don't talk about it at all... because it's not a big deal.

Telling CEOs to GFY is telling even more of companies to not advertise on X. I'm sure CEOs run the spectrum from needing their ass to get kissed to some not caring as long as they get results. But zero of them want to be disrespected by a vendor. And for them, X is a vendor. Their attitude will be that if X doesn't want their business (money), there are other platforms, which are not shrinking, that do.

And no one is saying that Musk can't afford to run X as a losing passion project. You're creating a strawman argument. Just because Musk can afford to run X into the ground, it doesn't mean that he's happy with the losses. And if he's unbothered why does X and his tweet scandals appear to take up a large percent of his attention?

All of this, and yeah, $3 Billion is still $3 Billion, whether you're worth $103 Billion or not. Losing close to 3% of your net worth on a whim is probably a big deal for just about anyone.

Nah. That's not it, at least not for the typical user. Even before Elon bought twitter and it was just a possibility that he might buy it, most regular twitter users, including myself,  dreaded it because we just figured he'd fuck it all up. We had no idea how spectacularly he'd do that though. Twitter is damn near unuseable now.
