he’s paying for the user data which they certainly have a treasure trove of. controlling twitter is a secondary benefit.

there isn’t going to be a replacement either a la myspace, competitors get bought out way too early now.


I don't think much is going to change with Twitter tbh. They might have a mass exodus of talent (equity is a massive part of their compensation so they'll have to up salaries....which I don't think Musk will do) but they can be replaced fairly easily.

Musk might focus more on bots as opposed to things like hate speech, but I don't think the pipelines will change in any substantial way.

yeah agree here. people will be falling apart anyway even if minor changes happen.

Twitter has so many inactive users, most active ones just browse and don't post, the posting users make up a tiny proportion of twitter accounts. It's quite niche on news, politics and sport which aren't appealing to most audiences

It's my favourite social media site but not investable in my opinion

I mean, those types of people probably aren't engineers and no one cares about them lol. I'm referring to the engineers and data scientists which is why I used the word "talent." ;)

this may be the case, but clearly he isnt buying it just for the face value statements. there’s something else on top there
