X is officially worth less than half of what Elon Musk paid for it - eviltoast

A year after he bought Twitter for $44 billion, Musk thinks the company is now worth $19 billion, a 55 percent drop.

Let’s recap what he did to Twitter, I will go first:

  • Changed the original name Twitter to X.

    It’s because no other social media platform currently meets their requirements. Other platforms either functions significantly different from twitter or it lacks the reach that a politician needs in order for it to be worth their time.

      “Worth their time” ? Copy\paste the text into Mastodon. Post Done

      I can empathize with the reluctance to completely jump ship but it costs nothing (both money and time) to cross post to another platform.

        Last time I was on mastodon during one of the many twitter migrations there was a long post saying that people should hold of on auto-blocking people that don’t caption the images they post because new user haven’t learned the cultural rules of mastodon. Is that a thing? I don’t know, could be a particular part of mastodon, I don’t know. Point is that serious public figures have been trained to be careful when adopting new social media.
