For better or worse, the soap opera of buying excitement Done by Elon Musk. The South African businessman paid $44 billion to take over the famous social network and, according to him, a new era is coming as the “bird is released”. The truth is that there is a lot of news about it and many will be shocking.
There was a time when the purchase would not be complete, and even everything would end in a long and tedious litigation. But in the end, the owner of Tesla, SpaceX and Starlink decided not to sit still and complete the purchase. Now big boss From this huge company, and therefore, everything that happens will depend entirely on his decisions. Either for the better or for the worse. It continues to be seen.
Elon Musk’s early decisions are quite stimulating
The billionaire didn’t go around the bushes, as he had considerable depth among the initial decisions (beyond revising the decoration of his new office): has been uploaded four senior executives of your company. Among them is the person who has been the CEO to date and is also the finance manager (Parag Agarwal and Ned Segal, respectively). Therefore, Musk makes it very clear that the idea he has is to stop chasing from the first minute. And that’s a pretty goodwill statement for Twitter employees.
In conclusion, it is clear that they are. many things will change in the social network. And it’s not just about what it has to do with the content. It all goes to show that the idea is to expand the options the service offers to be “all in one” where users don’t need to go anywhere else. It sure sounds great, and there are precedents like WeChat in China… But of course we’re in the West and things are very different.
The future of Twitter… only Musk knows
Well, judging by the different statements made by the owner of the social network now, one of the things he wants is for it to be there. less restrictions what does it have to do with Freedom of expression. That way, it’s easy to think that moderation will be less… which can be a very positive thing or maybe a long-term issue. To take an example, we should not forget that Musk has stated that he will lift the permanent use ban that Donald Trump has.
Are you creating a troll nest? what about this risk, undoubtedly. If that’s the case, Twitter might just become a steaming place not worth spending five minutes on. But yes, we’ll have to wait to see how the company handles this because, like with Musk’s projects, they often surprise locals and foreigners alike, and they end up being very useful.
Growing up is another key
with the clear idea of creating application X (this app for everything we’ve talked about before), now that Twitter has taken the reins, another thing on Musk’s mind is to achieve steady growth. An example is when the new owner says the idea is to reach out to some people. 26.4 billion annual revenue in 2028 (Note the dates, it’s usual with Tesla and SpaceX that these are almost never met). The truth is, we are talking about a very important development since Twitter received 5 million in 2021. To achieve this, you will need to make improvements in many sections, especially users.
Will he get all these? It is complex and big challenge, but fought good Elon in worse places. Therefore, absolutely nothing should be overlooked.
