Recommencer ici, comme un lendemain de #TwitterTakeOver 🙃
#TwitterTakeover
The Twitter takeover showed us what we’re all dealing with now, and it’s a clear sign that we shouldn’t let any single person accumulate too much wealth. When they get too rich, they lose touch with reality and become a burden on everyone around them.
Elon Musk sued over Twitter takeover: The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced on Tuesday its intention to initiate legal action against technology magnate Elon Musk, asserting that he did not promptly disclose his acquisition of over 5 percent of Twitter shares prior to his takeover of the company in 2022. The SEC claims that Musk commenced purchasing Twitter […] https://creebhills.com/2025/01/elon-musk-sued-over-twitter-takeover?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #ElonMusk #TwitterTakeover #SEC #Lawsuit #Technology

Exactly. #Elmo is carrying out "A controlled demolition" of #X (formerly #Twitter.)
I (and others) have been saying this since early 2023.
However, many saw (and still see) it as a "conspiracy theory". Alas, it clearly isn't, Nicole.
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is a duck--here is the reason why, and it's not pretty:
BTW - removed my self from TitX #TwitterTakeover last year. Best decion ever. Too dark and ugly.

#ElonMusk’s #TwitterTakeover Is Now the Worst Buyout for Banks Since the Financial Crisis
Loans of around $13 billion have remained ‘hung’ for nearly two years, bringing in interest payments but weighing on banks’ balance sheets
Well, that's it. I've done it.
I've deleted every single one of my Tweets and left my account completely empty.
I'll make an effort to not reply to anything on that hell hole again.
Haut endlich ab!
Auf #X gibt es momentan eine Austrittswelle. Soll man die Plattform nun den Rechten überlassen? Die Antwort ist leicht: Ja, der Ort ist verloren.
"X gleicht heute einem Haifischbecken voller Faschos und Trolle. Es ist ein Ort, wo #Musk mit der #AfD kuschelt und progressive Stimmen gemobbt und bedroht werden. [...] Wieso sollte man sich dort noch freiwillig aufhalten?

Just so you know: Of the more than 1300 verified journalists on #Mastodon in my table, less than half has been active since the beginning of the year. Only about 200 post daily:

That's another reason for my interest in #Threads federating and #BridgyFed connecting the #Fediverse to #Bluesky: It just feels quieter here.

Elon Musk's X #Revenue has officially plummeted, new documents show
Remember when #ElonMusk said he wanted #X to be more PayPal-like? New docs show this plan is still on.
"In the first six months of 2023 [...] X's revenue fell by nearly 40 percent from the same period the prior year. The company brought in $1.48 billion during that time period. Furthermore, X lost $456 million in the first quarter of 2023."

The great #MastodonMigration after the #TwitterTakeover was accompanied by many helpful tools to find followers worth following.
With #Threads federating (partially) and #Bluesky bridged, I think we need new ones now. Are there any?

His inflammatory posting of far-right conspiracy theories (among other things) has turned off prospective buyers for whom a Tesla was once an aspirational purchase. “Is Elon’s brand damaging Tesla sales in the US?” asked Gene Munster, managing partner of Deepwater Asset Management. “It’s directionally a negative.”

I just finished this book about Twitter. I thought I'd be pissed about Musk, but Jack comes out really bad. Basically, according to the book, Jack drove Twitter into the ground, bailed out, and let everyone else drown.
Unbelievable. Worth a read.
Elon Musk's $44 Billion Twitter Takeover: What is the Role of Parag Agrawal and @elonjet
#ElonMusk #ParagAgrawal #Twittertakeover
The announcement of Elon Musk’s $44 billion Twitter takeover was made public on 12 February 2024.

The drama revolved around Parag Agrawal, the former CEO of Twitter, whose unwillingness ...

While not a very well-known account, I tried the same thing for a couple of weeks, trying to get people to migrate to #Mastodon.
The #Post strategy, as I remember it, was quite different. The wanted a centralized platform earn royalties for professional writers, was my take on the #DeadBirdSite back then.
This is different. OFC #Elmo would block that!--This would have destroyed the value of the #Twitter acquisition--virtually global reach/a...

@Daojoan
My theory is #musk bought #twitter because it was giving TOO much voice to the masses. The #billionaires cannot have this. Just note the changes since his takeover. Doesn’t matter if it collapses, he’s done his small #Billionaire part for the upper echelon. #NoBillionaires #TwitterTakeover #TwitterDeath
