That's what he calls "building".
Just the cost of making a 69 420 joke.
Probably would’ve made sense not to kill his user base before trying to build a product that requires a large user base to be useful.
That's just what a small mind would think. Of course business genius knows better. What better way to build a globally respected brand than to turn your platform into a far right cesspool.
Would've been fine if he was doing that while riding high off of VC funding. You can try to pivot to new features that way. He's riding on bank debt that needs to be serviced, however. That means he needs to be both profitable and somehow develop a service that will capture market share. It's not going to happen.
Cool, I won't use any product Elno is attached to - I think most of us have learned that lesson
Elon wants to make a super app in a market where nobody wants a super app. It will for sure go great!
"Okay, step one: establish trust with users, developers, sellers and other tech companies.
"Shit."
I'll never use it. So tired of hearing about Elon musk.
Are average people leaving Twitter/X? I know that lemmy and reddit users seem pretty over it but that might be an inaccurate sample pool.
WeChat is forced / very much encouraged by the Chinese government for.... reasons. No such entity will be doing the same for the dreaded X-app, so this is going to fail spectacularly.
