Elon Musk tweeted on his official account on Sunday that Twitter would be changing its logo to an “X” and that all the birds will be disappearing from the platform.
I mean, it makes perfect sense. He’s a PR guy who wanted to own a platform so he could spin his own facts; the fact that people could post videos of his own products catching fire was bad for him.
He is destroying his platform. While simultaneously helping competitors. While been forced to pay way to much and even pay for the layers his opponents hired. Genius moves all around.
The problem is likely that his view of the Internet is highly warped. Between managing so many companies, meeting IRL people, and traveling around, he may have barely any time to learn about what’s out there outside of the most popular platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and whatever someone spins to him during that one party or two.
So he looked into the one thing he knew about that was irking him, saw it had a silly low price, and jumped on the chance of taking control… without realizing it was like jumping onto a water balloon in a swimming pool: even if you manage to catch it, even if you pop it, there is still a pool of water surrounding you.
Dude, he is a PR guy with Twitter being his main platform. There is no logic there.
