TWTR - Twitter, Inc.

Crypto bro's won't be happy.
Apple will want to be careful how many techies it p1sses off
 
Excellent but sobering financial article on Twitter from Stephen Bartholomew.
Pretty grim reading.

Volume up with half the staff is all that needs to be noted. Also the part about advertisers fleeing.

Still early days yet. But Elon should recognise that him tweeting on twitter has historically always ended in a cluster fluck.

Musk now looking for a CEO, in his words, fool enough to take the role.

He said the loan he took out on Twitter alone has added $1.5 billion to the platform costs, that implies a 12% interest rate.

He said revenue tracking for 3 billion but it was 4.5 billion before he took it over.

If he got all the 140,000 subscribers to pay the Twitter Blue $8 a month that would only bring in $13.5 million. A drop in the water.

I can't see a way out of bankruptcy

... but it is Elon Musk so let's see if he can turn it around.
 
Considering that Tesla took years and a few near bankruptcies to get to a position of profit. I would expect similar out of twitter.

There seems to be deep structural problems there, from staff to software. It was literally a company run by employees (woke entitled ones at that). So no wonder it was such a mess.

It's going to be a money pit for the foreseeable future. Monetisation for users is the sure bet, just not sure how it's done.
 
What conceivable reason would Apple have for taking Twitter off the app store?
Apple makes irrational decisions like that ( former Apple fanboi )

i think they trip over their imaginary egos with their misplaced arrogance , at every high profile opportunity
 
Cook thought bubble:
*If he paid $44 billion for twitter......*
maybe Elon is more tech savvy than Cook , it would need a huge capital expenditure to bring Apple back from just being another over-priced brand

still have my 'wind-tunnel ' , plenty of techies already P--ed off , there is a whole 'jail-break ' community and has been for over 10 years
since many techies know their way around Unix and Apple is now just another PC or device .....

in the 'family-friendly ' section

have wide-ranging tastes ( which normally evades mainstream popular music )

but i suppose being resistant to 'frights ' is an edge in the stock market

now this is a little scary , but seasonal and not so loud

i stayed single ( so far )

but yes you have to think carefully about some things ( but maybe cheating wasn't a good idea either )

have had to duck the collateral damage of friends who have strayed ( NEVER a good idea to be there when 'the affair ' is discovered )

but that lady has put out other interesting tunes

 
Twitter has quietly withdrawn from the voluntary EU disinformation code which most groups are part of including Meta.

Last month, the BBC found hundreds of Russian and Chinese state propaganda accounts were thriving on Twitter.

Some people believe this stuff and that includes many examples within the general section of Aussie Stock Forums where fake videos are constantly published.

Formal rules and possibly sanctions to cut in at August and Australia might join in. Risk rising.

 
I have no doubt other actors, including the USA, UK, Turkey Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc etc are also engaged in Fakery.
It would be a touch naive to believe that only the big two are involved in faking it.

Meta pushed disinformation in the form of early covid vacancie "information"(by their own admission).

I think twitter has fact checking via "community" which in my opinion is better than some ministry of truth out of the government.

Governments have and will continue to push misinformation. I don't trust them anymore then I trust some random on the internet.
