That's one view. My view is that he's a narcissistic spoiled rich kid playing with daddies money.

Isn't it funny how everyone you don't like happens to fall into that category...

Another way to look at it on some basic napkin numbers

If "They" as in this group of billionares, purchased Twitter at 44 bill, or $54 a share

From my experience in buying and selling companies,

-Increase usage (so far that's already happened)

-There going after You Tubes market share and content creators

-Digital payment app

-First FIFA world cup soccer game is being played live on Twitter, so there after the sports market

-Media would be the big one, if you go directly to Twitter for accurate , reliable and not oil owed news organisations that push there narrative

-Perhaps some other bonuses on this one stop Twitter app

If Twitter can build this over atleast 5 years, I could see it re listed publicly on the sharemarket/ in better financial conditions with lower interest rates

@ maybe $90 to $110 per share, so these original investors who are some of the wealthiest people and organisations in the world could be doubling there initial investment in 5/6 year's

It might not happen, but what Musk has achieved so far I wouldn't bet against it.

If you think $90 to $110 is overpriced or unrealistic, Facebook is 100 per share and that platform is truly dieing!

Most didn’t “work” much anyway....

Some of them were doing a total of four hours a week of actual work. The rest were doing right around 12. When told to do an actual 40, they could not handle it. The media is saying Twitter will die now but I disagree, because at 12 hours, 3.3 employees = 1 and at 4 hours, 10 employees = 1. that means that even if all employees put in a legit 12 hours Musk could cut 70.7 percent of the staff, receive a legit 40 from the rest and come out the same. When an enormous pile were doing even less than that, the 87 percent loss of staff (total) that reslted from the walkout could be made up for by having the remaining 13 percent work a little overtime. Humanity does not suck sufficiently for that to not work, 10 percent will be decent no matter what.

Thats the sort of logic an accountant would use, without giving thought to the varying skill levels . Maybe the ones doing four hours per week are / were the very good people who knew what they were doing and could get the results quickly, where the 12hour /day people wouldn't get the same results no matter how many hours they put in, and now that the skilled (but short hours) people have been "let go" theres even less chance the remainers will be able to get the results required.
As always, wait and see.

Having watched this clip I'm having trouble distinguishing the difference between Musk and a conman. Tesla stock is reputedly way overvalued and his investment in Twitter seems precarious. Developments should keep people interested until the next US election kicks off anyway.

Contracts were with the previous ownership, when you take over a company you rehire then rewrite a new contract, you start with a clean slate,it's a standard business take over what Musk is doing, I personally don't understand the uproar, many in NZ would have been through this process as an employee .

Apparently the contract Musk signed included two months severance pay. bonuses and stock options at pro rata rate. None of this was adhered to. If he looks at Twitter he should easily find lawyers drumming up business.

Mainstream media going ballistic on Musk!!

Let's see

Musks companies want to/

-2 to 3x the r.o.i on Twitter

-Internet widely available across formally isolated regions via space x

-Leading the A.I revolution

-Leading the E.V revolution

-Make life mutiplanetary via space x

And mainstream media's goal ... sell more newspapers ?

[husaberg]

Musk all hype little actual delivery of substance.

much like you

Teslas don't use cameras, they use a new technology in a micro chip called Dojo.

It's an artificial intelligence neural technology based off the human eye and it's ability to transfer it's information to the brain, the Dojo technology works in that way and is almost complete.

It's design will make it millions more times safer and faster than the human animal, were to slow to react to a motorcyclist pulling out from a blind spot, the technology will see through the blind spot.

It would most likely be about 2025 onwards before being accepted around the world and there governor road bodies.

This is pretty wrong
https://hackernoon.com/all-you-need-...-supercomputer


it uses old video data to train and still uses camera data for responses.

No

It uses Tesla vision, which like the human analysis's what it's looking at, Dojo is it's artificial intelligence neural systems, and makes the decision there and then .
.

Transitioning to Tesla Vision

We are continuing the transition to Tesla Vision, our camera-based Autopilot system. Model 3 and Model Y vehicles built from June 2022 for the New Zealand market now utilise our camera-based Tesla Vision, which relies on Tesla’s advanced suite of cameras and neural net processing to deliver Autopilot and related features.
Tesla's AI self-driving feature is made of neural networks which are trained on millions of video data so it can become better (remember the more data, the better the AI), and these millions of video data easily become big data and so using GPUs would be inefficient and distributed computing would be great but to train AI on data as big as millions of data videos which are updated daily you'd need a lot of computers as essentially distributed computing is just sharing processing work between a lot of computers and so tesla decided that building a supercomputer would be more efficient both tech-wise and cost-wise and so the Dojo supercomputer was born
The Dojo is a supercomputer built by tesla to train its AI deep neural networks and Machine Learning algorithms.
it goes smoothly the self-driving AI is taking note of its surroundings using an inbuilt camera and sending that video back to Tesla's servers so that data can be used to train it more and in so that way the more people who use the self-driving AI, the more it gets better.
Now back to the Dojo, in theory, when the video data gotten from the car is sent back to Tesla's servers, the Dojo supercomputer then gets hold of that data and uses it to train the neural network which powers the Tesla self-driving AI.

This doesn't make sense, why would the contracts not be adhered to if they were only just signed a couple of weeks ago?

They were offered severance pay of x amount of months should they leave, the stock options would be worthless because they would have atleast a 2 to 5 year time frame on them before they expire and would be Cashed in presuming if Twitter was profitable or not? Mainly from there own hard work, Original Tesla employees (5/10+ years ) have bought houses, some retired on there stock options, but it takes years.

Again what you posted didn't make sense, perhaps I'm reading it wrong then I apologize.

So Musk just aloud Trump back on Twitter

...the uproar from media was deafening !

Those who bothered to vote on the Twitter poll had there say, all 15million of them, I believe those who are anti Trump will say the poll was rigged.

But just spending a short unscientific amount of time on Twitter, there are many that support him, could he be back as leader of the free world in 2024?

I doubt it...but isn’t this just democracy and free speech at play?

Trump can't go back to Twitter without killing off his own struggling "media empire." His presence on Truth Social is the only reason his followers are there. If he leaves it dies.

I agree, until his followers build back up into the 10s of millions, and "if" he makes another run for the White house, he will most likely leverage the Twitter platform to increase his profile and re election chances

You know he was actually once a smart businessman before he became the dreaded evil orange man.

[Al Bundy 4eva!]

On the Twitter Trump poll

15 million voted

134 million viewed the poll/post

That's a lot of advertising revenue should companies want a piece of that action,

For comparison

This year's 2022 Super bowl L.A rams vs the Cincinnati Bengals , 2 fairly large markets had an audience of 99 million.

There's definitely money to be made on the Twitter platform if you know what your doing, I'm betting Musk does.

[husaberg]

On the Twitter Trump poll

15 million voted

.

And nearly exactly half of those voted against trump being reinstated.
prior to his removal he had 88 million followers.
trumps yesterdays news he couldnt even best Biden as a sitting president ffs....

No he wasnt smart, he was and still is a conniving cheating conman with such a high profile that people fall for it. He has rat cunning and zero empathy. If you are impressed by that?
