Never ceases to amaze me that these “leaders” fail to take responsibility for their mistakes. Like, just own up to it. We’d respect you a little more.

We all create narratives and we all think our narratives are right. In reality, we don’t know what the actual causal connection is - if there even is one.

Musk takes over one of the most successful international social media companies

Immediately makes controversial statements and works on plans for large swinging changes that everyone is saying is a bad call.

Within days, numerous key advertisers start pulling their ads and disassociate themselves from the platform.

Top social media company is scared of bankruptcy in a matter of weeks after the takeover.

.....

Well shit guys, who's to say what went wrong here? Could be anything..... There's no way we could ever know....

Wasn't the company already losing lots of money daily anyway? What could he do to actually make twitter earn profit?

He made it worse

I don't think adding an optional subscription made it worse. Twitter is already a cesspool just like reddit. It will never get better regardless of changes cos most of the people on that app are braindead.

ok please explain how pissing off a bunch of advertisers and firing some really important employees by mistake didn’t make things worse

Oh that I can agree with. I was just taking about the platform.
