If and when 'X' (appropriate context here) goes to the wall then I imagine those people financing it will want something back from their investment. The company, IP and all, will likely be sold to someone who knows how to 'social media' and the Twitter name (its most valuable asset) will be revived and used again and 'X' will be thrown in the bin. It'll still be a pale shadow of it's former self but at least it won't have Musk at the helm anymore.Mito Man wrote: Thu Nov 30, 2023 9:54 am If X dies, who will honestly give too much of a crap… Everyone will just migrate to the next company who offer a similar platform. Happened before, will happen again.
Exactly. THAT'S how you become a billionaire.Rich B wrote: Thu Nov 30, 2023 11:08 am Next time I don't win a pitch at work, I'm just going tell the client "fuck you". And if my boss gets upset I'm just going to tell him to see how "earth" responds to that.
I've just realised - this is a subtle indication that he's ready to colonise space. Quick, invest in SpaceX now and book a seat.Rich B wrote: Thu Nov 30, 2023 11:08 am Next time I don't win a pitch at work, I'm just going tell the client "fuck you".

Business Genius Elon Musk, pissing his pants because free speech only applies to people who pay him moneyThe X owner and erratic billionaire conspiracy theorist went on a rampage Thursday against the Disney chief executive, assailing Iger for the Magic Kingdom’s decision to pull advertisements from his imperiled social media platform, and declaring that Iger should be forcibly removed from his job.
“He should be fired immediately,” Musk, who often uses his influential perch to bully critics and others, wrote about Iger on the platform formerly known as Twitter. “Walt Disney is turning in his grave over what Bob has done to his company.”
Representatives for Disney did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But Iger is widely credited for boosting Disney into an entertainment juggernaut through a series of well-executed acquisitions — Star Wars, Marvel Studios, and Pixar — during his first stint as chief executive.
Disney, like a slew of other major companies, stopped advertising on X last month, after Musk endorsed an antisemitic conspiracy theory popular among White supremacists. Musk tacitly apologized for the post last week after the flurry of companies ceased their relationships with X, but simultaneously delivered a profanity-laced message to companies who decline to purchase ads from his social media platform.
“Go f**k yourself,” Musk repeatedly said on stage to the fleeing brands at The New York Times DealBook Summit.
At the summit, Musk singled out Iger, ranting against the Disney boss after he had explained earlier in the day that the entertainment giant had made the decision to stop advertising on X because of Musk.
“We just felt that the association with… Elon Musk and X was not necessarily a positive one for us,” Iger said.
