More nazis should fix the revenue issues. Advertisers love associating themselves with hated people. Advertisers hate making a profit. Forever Elone, Musk will need to share sucking dick to turn a profit. If you look on twitter you'll notice his lips are chapped.

Are you on tiktok? There's a genre of livestream where the streamer picks a controversial topic and then invites the audience to send gifts to vote for one side or the other. Of course the outcome of the vote has no effect on the world, and whether you're voting for one side or the other it's the streamer (and twitch) who get paid, but people are willing to pay good money for that little dopamine hit of seeing their side of an issue they care about win something. I feel like they're trying to turn Twitter into; a place where people pay some small monthly token to be agreed with and to feel like they're in the majority. Of course, an environment like that is almost always going to end up right wing because if Trump taught us anything it's that right wingers will buy literally anything that validates their beliefs.

That dude straight up has no fucking idea what's going on.

Maybe send another car to space. There's just not enough trash floating around.

Oh cool daily Twitter news updates are on Lemmy too. I have never had a Twitter account and I will never have a Twitter account.

Maybe if he would stop fucking ruining everything about the site...

Muskie-baka can't figire it out. I feel obliged to help him.

I wonder how the revenue would have look liked if he hadn't gone out of his way to cater to right-wing nutjobs with all his might. Who knows, maybe he would've been able to turn a profit through his numerous schemes like the paid verification and such.

A spokesperson for everyone who isn't a sociopathic spoiled rich kid in adult pants was quoted as saying, "Gee, that's too bad."

Maybe if the remaining users that are still on twitter need to jump ship just to really set in stone the amount of user drop off they might have. That or upload tones of photos and videos to try and overload there servers.

Is this even a real tweet? I cannot find the source.

Awesome. I didn't doubt he was stupid enough to write it, just couldn't find it. According to article you linked ~50% might actually be closer to 89% which is extra hilarious.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Only 50%? That's far from his apparent goal of destroying his company.

The moment Threads properly implement hashtags and trending topics, Twitter is finished.

Zuckerberg doesn't even need to federate to achieve this. He got well over 100 million signups. He's good.
