You should have stuck with what you know instead of giving yourself off as a conspiracy theorist

I mentioned clearly that it was just my opinion.

You're right, being the richest man doesn't make one always right.

About the blue tick, what is its significance? I'm not a regular Twitter user, so please don't mind me asking. I know it's a tick for those with some reputable social status, but could there be a reason to warrant adding a monetary charge for it? If users leverage on the popularity the blue tick attracts, to promote a financial venture or activity for their benefits, then I don't see why charging a fee to get a blue tick is a bad idea. It's the same way paid ads work.

Since the lay off included people from all over the world, then it signals a rebuild-from-scratch process -- a complete overhaul. Like I said, he's a renowned business man. That's enough to show that he's been at the helm of affairs for quite some time. Let's be rest assured that Twitter will take an almost completely new shape in a few months' time.

When a successful man takes a drastic action, then there's great thinking behind the scene. So yes, this was well thought-out.


The blue check mark was for accounts that were verified as been held by the original owners of the account. It gave tweets from such acounts authenticity. So basically now anybody can have that check mark making it meaningless. Also now that anyabody can get it how many people do you think would actually want to pay every month for it?

You don't rebuild a company as big as Twitter from the scratch which is why Dorsey went to start a different company. You already have a certain momentum and expectation built up. Unless you are changing the entire product it just doesn't make sense.

We'll see how this all plays out. Musk buying Twitter at an overrated price and additional debt is not a good start imo. I give him a year, he'll be looking for someone to offload it on.

Elon Musk is a business man and it's obvious he's doing all these to protect his new business. Remember that Jack plans to open another social network which will want to complete with Twitter, so the best is not to allow Jack still have insiders that can still feed him with info about what's going on in Twitter. The problem is just that these people will become jobless and that's not cool.

PS: this is just my point of view oo, as I believe Elon Musk aims to make profit with Twitter.

False assumption. The aim of Musk buying twitter is political and not profit. At $44 billion, how many years or decades does he hope to break even, before even talking about profit? For company that had posted profit only once in the last 10 years.

I don't know where he's getting the replacements from but as a renowned businessman, I don't suppose he made such a drastic decision without first having a well thought-out strategy put in place. He's up there on the list of world's richest persons for a reason, you know? Lol. Let's see how it pans out in the next few weeks.
He's up there as the world's richest person for a reason. I agree with you though, I expect that he knows what he's doing

Profit can / may later derive in a circumbendibus manner from the political leverage gained with the acquisition.

that Meta own dey bust my brain. The project is almost bankrupting Mark, and it is surprising for me cos I believed in the viability of that project. Even came up with a tech start up idea hinged on VR, due to my conclusion that the greater population of the world today are vain people who want a reality different from actual reality. Actual reality sucks for these people. So the expectations is/was they would all turn to anything and everything VR...it will be like a new kind of digital cocaine, ppl living in a fake reality and always wanting/needing to run back to that. I'm gobsmacked about how everything is now playing out truly

I love your opinion. But if your argument is true then the sacked employees should go straight to Jack.

Why do you think he intends to monetize badge verification. Elon Musk is more of a business man than a politician.

And you think badge verification will work? Very suspect and risky business model. The model that had been working for social media from inception is to offer free quality service and then make money from advertisers and by selling subscriber information. That's how Facebook, Google search, YouTube, nairaland, WhatsApp, etc works. Asking people to pay for verification will discourage people. The idea of buying verification itself would create distrust.

Elon Musk has been making political statements and enmeshed himself into the political mud fight between the left and the right of late.

And you think Facebook that is facing its own problems would want to buy twitter, and that apart from anticompetitive laws getting in the way?

I'd love to see Facebook poison itself even more, is all I can say
