After Elon's takeover, Twitter might be about to change forever
In the future, you may be able to not just tweet, But also, create video content, pay for things, book a cab, buy groceries, chat with your friends like WhatsApp
In fact, sources that that for $8 a month, Twitter wipe you after you go to the bathroom
So let's talk about how Twitter might change in the future, And why we should also be a bit concerned
Hello and Welcome to The Show!
Elon Musk has bought twitter recently, seemingly on a dare:
Since Twitter is also Elon’s child now, like his own Child, he Has immediately renamed Twitter
Has also basically fired all of the top brass and may even be firing anywhere between 15-50% of the staff
Brahminical Patriarchy smashing enthusiast was let go before she could smash the patriarchy
This takeover has caused some meltdowns as well
some suggesting "This man is like Donald Trump on a lower dose of steroids,"
People are threatening to leave Twitter like they threatened to leave India after Modi’s election, and USA after Trump’s election
In fact some shareholders who own like 2 shares are even deciding to sue Elon Musk
I can only Elon musk’s mental state right now
People are worried that things will get considerably worse on Twitter
some believe that There is going to be a dictatorship
Oh yeah like that wasn’t a problem before. Like Twitter was a Utopia of brotherhood before this
Arbitrary censorship has always been a problem with Twitter, With acknowledgment by Twitter themselves
orgs like Project Veritas have revealed that Left Wing bias exists
Which led to Twitter delaying Indian government’s with the new IT rules
they delete RW accounts but never touched account of of la*de ka fact checker that openly doxxed teenagers and put their lives in danger
Not taking action against them again when they endangered and ruined Nupur Sharma’s life
meanwhile they were quick to delete Trump's account as well as suppressed Biden’s son’s controversy
People are just scared that Left Wing dictatorship is gone and there might be right wing bias on the platform
But while some people are upset that Musk bought twitter
To understand why Twitter might change forever, we need to see that its not all roses and butterflies for Elon either
Musk’s Twitter also happens to be a wounded asset that lost $221 million last year
despite internal projections a decade ago that it was on track to surpass a billion people — has never cracked 250 million
Heavy tweeters have been in "absolute decline" since the pandemic began, a Twitter researcher wrote in an internal document t
These "heavy tweeters" account for less than 10% of monthly overall users but generate 90% of all tweets and half of global revenue
Big tech influencers feeling lost due to algorithm changes
Many experts also believe that due to these reasons Musk massively overpaid for Twitter
Basically he paid for Vajpayee and Got Rahul gandhi
So Musk is in the middle of reviewing the situation and has announced that there will be some major changes
we have a few hints
Brought in experts like Sriram Krishna to rejig twitter strategy
He said he will be invoking a council to discuss moderation and future direction of Twitter
While the council convenes, content moderation will be decided through “chhidiya udd tota udd”
we can pick up some hints about how Twitter may change in the future: Potentially charging money for blue ticks
Similar to Twitter blue, which is like Youtube premium where you get no ads, and you get a bunch of other features being able to post longer videos, longer tweets
and maybe get The edit button
Sources say that for $50 a month Twitter will clean your house, for $100 a month you can write as many tweets
and for $420 a month, twitter will send two people to kick you out of your house because you can’t afford to live there anymore
this caused a weird Meltdown, that being verified is somehow about personal safety
This is how she thinks non verified accounts live
Considering more video content
Many on the non-left were excited that Elon will be sticking it to the elites
And free speech is coming to twitter
Elon has said that He wants to make Twitter even-handed
He has also spoken about having free speech on social media
but people shouldn't over celebrate just yet
If Elon wants to make sure that Twitter’s making money, he will have to moderate content
IF he wants absolute free speech, it will just end up becoming a platform like Gab or Parlor: small user base and not profitable
Companies will not want to place ads on such a platform
which will deeply effect profitability as its a big source of income for social media companies like Twitter, facebook and YouTube
So he will need to decide if he wants absolute free speech for people to be able to say WHATEVER they want, or does he want to make the platform ad-friendly, and profitable
This is why one of the first things he is doing is to reassure companies
And he said that it WILL NOT become a free for all
Elon also Bought it with Saudi Arabin money to "protect Free Speech"? We all know Saudi's track record on free speech
Its like opening a cancer research facility in a place where they dump radioactive waste
Plus has very strong connections with the Chinese government who aren't quite big fans of free speech
he has his own track record of censorship: of censoring those that have criticized his company, the work environment in his companies or exposed the quality of his products
so is he truly committed to free speech or is that a useful tactic to improve his social standing?
so why did I say in the beginning that twitter is about to change forever?
Musk takes over Twitter at a moment when social media has apparently stopped being a growth business.
Meta Platforms Inc. demonstrated this last week, with a bleak financial projection that erased a quarter of the stock’s value
on top of that he has to ensure ad revenue and profitability
So how does he walk the line?
Maybe he isn’t interested in keeping Twitter a social media platform. Maybe he wants to make it something more
maybe its called "X" the everything app
he said his acquisition of Twitter will help him make "X"
Elon, has been thin on details about what an “everything app” would look like
But he has expressed interest in making a worldwide social media platform modeled after WeChat
In China, WeChat is used by more than 1 billion people as an all-in-one social media, instant messaging and mobile payment app
Chinese who use WeChat basically never need to leave the app
his is what he wants to potentially develop twitter into
This is basically the same idea as Rahul gandhi's bharat jodo yatra
But Elon is not a genius like Rahul Gandhi so we don't know if his plan will succeed
this is what Elon said while explaining the app
So basically, he wants an app that handles every aspect of your life, as well as, “tracks” every single information about your life.
On top of this, he has the neural link connecting all of Humanity into one server
sound a bit chinese communist party like to me
I don’t think there is a difference between Amazon, Meta and Elon’s Twitter plans for the future
This is why i think Twitter may change forever,m and why maybe you shouldn't over celebrate this
