That was a miserable post. You are a POS for making the claim. You can't hide it from it, you posted it. You’re name is not, per chance, Richard?

BobDole Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Per Elon, he is floating the idea of charging a small monthly fee to thwart bots https://techcrunch.com/2023/09/18/elon-musk-says-x-will-charge-users-a-small-monthly-payment-to-use-its-service/ I would guess that will hurt the brand greatly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which one? He can easily revert to Twitter. Or add the s, e and y to get some synergy with Tesla. Technical question. Now that Twitter is dead, does my autocorrect need to leave it all lower case?

GreatWhiteNorth Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 My guess is that there would be a mass exodus from Twitter/X. Just a hunch. Switching to a subscription model may well be the quickest way to kill any popular free internet site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrestleknownothing Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) What is an Elon Musk personal guarantee worth? For that matter, what is an Elon Musk contractural guarantee worth? Apparently, in order to save $1bn in cash and get the deal done, Musk gave a free put struck at the deal price to Jack Dorsey to keep Dorsey invested, thereby saving Musk from also having to buy Dorsey's $1bn stake. But what does that even mean? No one knows if it is a verbal agreement or written. But given Musk's unwillingness to honor contracts, it is not clear if the form matters. Musk is also eternally short of cash (hence the need for the free put), so now Dorsey has both Musk's credit risk and his hatred of honoring contracts to deal with. Nothing to do with Twitter being better per se (except that if it is maybe Dorsey doesn't need to exercise the put), but boy if I was Fidelity or any other shareholder, I sure would be ticked that a director of the company who was suing Musk to make him pay up also got a side deal put worth hundreds of millions in order to not take any downside risk on the deal. It is always entertaining with Musk. Edited September 20, 2023 by Wrestleknownothing 1 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobDole Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 I love how every article says "Twitter (now known as X)" in it. Should we continue to deadname X or let it change to it's preferred name? This is a big conundrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
