Teens left Twitter almost a decade ago.Obviously it is not just for teenage girls since you know a lot about it.

Resulting in his no longer being "the richest man alive"....
Correct. He’s fallen down the list a ways.
LOL. Exaggeration much? He dropped from number 1 to number 2 on the Forbes and other lists.
Really? I thought he had slipped down to number 7 or something. Maybe he just looks like number 7.
Forbes say #2, although can't imagine Arnault sending any silver medals over... but... who knows...
Twitter produce 99.9% of the content. Users just type characters in a box. Twiltter formats it, puts in electronic form and distributes it. No different than your local TV or radio music stations. Paramount is a media company who buys the creative work of others, packages it, distributes it and profits on that service. Twitter profits on the number of eyeballs that is viewing the content which it enables to be viewed. A media company.
Also news networks do not create the source content the world does that. But news network can select, highlight, suppress or shape how that content is delivered. Much like Twitter did before the Musk purchase. A media company.

Sure, Musk can do whatever he wants on his platform. We also get to point out his blatant hypocrisy.Hundreds of companies shadow-banned and de-monetized......no reporting. Elon Musk (CEO, Owner) boosts his tweets....front page news. If you thought it was fine for Twitter to remove and shadow ban people/organization and to cooperate with federal agencies in doing so, then you have no ground to complain about Musk's behavior. The people who've lost their mind (and their way) here is the mainstream press, for its failure to cover what now has been exposed as the direct action of Musk. Liberty dies when corruption is not exposed.
It’s hard when you realize all heroes have feet of clay.

Oh, I'm done with the whole mess of them. We should be seeing alot of court hearings, not congressional ones. People should be tried for falsifying information given to courts, for keeping classified documents, and more. It's like nobody inside the beltway is required to follow laws anymore. Even if they aren't convicted, make them defend themselves in court. That would be a great use of my tax money, esp. compared to all the other ways it's spent now. Trials might not convict them, but they will think twice if they know they'll end up in court. As is, they are rewarded for bad behavior.Wasn’t there a congressional hearing on this last week, and it was pretty much a big nothingburger?
I don't think the migration of youth into, or out of, Twitter (or Facebook before that) had anything at all to do with management or corporate direction. They tried it because it was new and popular, then moved on once their parents started using it. It was MySpace, then Facebook, then Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Tiktok, etc.Correct. That was kind of my point. It started as one pretty harmless and trivial thing and has evolved into something completely different.
I disagree. You must be screwed up in the head to become the richest man in the world.You don't get to be the "richest man alive" by having a "screwed up head". I think he'll come out of twitter richer by likely going public with it. Once he finds the right person to run it, he can just sit back and soak up all the dineros. I wonder if he convinced Congress to get rid of TikTok, a pseudo competitor...

It means a couple of things but specifically to this post, it is a means Tesla will make more profit. One of the major problems with EVs now is access to reliable power when you need it. Being at home in your garage is one thing, being on the road to granny's house is a whole different story. Especially when it's cold. The less time Tesla has those stations sitting idle, the more profit for them. It's a smart thing to open it up to all users. Clearly at some point, there will be a "crossing of the curves" and Tesla owners will complain they had to wait for a spot in line because of all those cheap Chevy Volts were hogging up the chargers.Not sure what this means. Surely you and all governments do wish for a company to be profitable. When I rented a Model 3, it never took more than 30 min to charge 185 miles with a supercharger. You can try it for yourself with www.turo.com.
I don't think Greg Gutfeld or any of the other 4 above Coldbert have Musk blocked. It is funny though.
"Hero" doesn't mean what it used to. Musk is not a "hero", he serves as an example. Good for some, not good for others. People who base their identity on anyone but themselves have bigger issues than muddy feet.It’s hard when you realize all heroes have feet of clay.
Looks like a win-win to me. More chargers for everyone, more income for Tesla. If you're off to see Grandma 400 miles away, the kids will love a 30-min rest out of the car. People also need to charge.It means a couple of things but specifically to this post, it is a means Tesla will make more profit.

The other issue is that it takes time. X times more than filling up a tank of Exxon's finest blend. At this point, Liquid fuel gives you more "impulse" for what you have to put into it. I'm positive that will change over time in both culture and physics. However, in the meantime, you still have to wait 30 min to charge...
That's the "culture" part. Over time, it will change to be more accepting. Hope Grandma has spotted you some cash for the Model S. It's the only one that gets "400 miles". Still that's pretty good and 400 miles is a long way to go without a potty break.Looks like a win-win to me. More chargers for everyone, more income for Tesla.

My scenario assumes a 200 mile range with a 30-min charge midway, which is possible with most EVs. That's not a big deal on the occasional road trip.That's the "culture" part.

Tesla chargers are very reliable, and make people want to buy Tesla cars. It's a competitive advantage. By opening up the chargers to non-Tesla cars, people can buy non-Tesla cars and use Tesla chargers, which may be the best of both worlds for them. Tesla is losing exclusivity, so has to make sure they make up for it in charging costs.The people I know with electric cars seldom charge at a public station. They charge at home where it’s cheaper, and the charging speed doesn’t matter much because you can let it go overnight. They use the public chargers for long trips, and usually combine that with a bathroom break, stretching the legs, and maybe a snack. I have one friend who does at least a few road trips a year, and he likes to map out the stops in advance so that he knows what snack he’s getting—first stop near a Starbucks, next stop next to In-n-Out, last stop next to an ice cream place, etc.
More chargers is definitely a good thing. I think Tesla had been reluctant to open up their charging network to other brands of cars. I’m not sure why. But it’s good news for everyone that they will be opening them up.
That's essentially why Elon and his legal team tried absolutely everything they could to bail out from it for months. They essentially paid $44B for goodwill and maybe a bit of IP and really not much else.So I decided to do a back-of-the-envelope run of Twitter's numbers per and post takeover. We don't really have any idea of the finances, but we do know that ~80% of the staff are gone and ad revenue is down ~35%....[snip]
