Elon Musk acquired Twitter about two weeks agao and Twitter has been All the news everywhere. His bold moves of firing a big portion of staff, changing major Twitter features and making more modifications are spurring waves of controversy. His supporters and adversaries are quite in fights. Where will Elon Musk lead Twitter ? Is Twitter heading to a wrong direction ?
You are very specific in the restlessness, it definitely generates passions El-on.
If you check other companies there are similar movements in decision making but they don't generate as much "smoke" as El-on.
Twitter is one of the social networks of that golden age that was stuck in growth of new users, at least compared to Youtube, Facebook, primarily. With any other successful network of the so-called "billion" users, it is later.
In other words, Twitter is so fucking behind in relation to its old competitors (not to mention the new social networks) that any result will be positive.
Until now, social networks have shown that they reach a stagnation point of "loyal" users and any social network that implements "novelty" achieves an growth of users.
But! I don't think that in the short term Twitter managed to attract a large number of new users, so in the short term it only seeks to be profitable.
Then, as other old social networks have shown, you don't need to be in the elite of the so-called "billion" to be profit.
That is why decisions as controversial as charging for a verified account, for example, only seek to make a profit in the short term.
Not to mention everything that politically means having a social network like Twitter, this acquisition not only has a commercial element, there are many edges to analyze in this acquisition, including El-On's known Snovismo.
