Except all Musk is doing is charging them for a blue check that is now completely worthless because it only means you paid $8 a month for it. The check itself was a settlement of a lawsuit which Twitter is going to find itself in again if the "power users" stay around and raise the same issue as before. Public indications are, power users aren't willing to pay anything.Watching @elonmusk + Co take over Twitter is like watching a business school case study on how to make money on the internet. Amazing that at some level it is so basic. Lesson one: charge your power users what they are willing to pay. 1/3

As to number 2: ooops.Lesson 3: Cut costs dramatically and do it fast and all at once to get it over with. Elevate a few key people (including some veterans) to promote internal cohesion.

Not rocket science. They will succeed because they can do it outside the public shareholder eye.
3/3
And number 3? Does that include destroying employee morale by telling everyone to go home and then announcing in the media you will send e-mails telling which half of the staff will stay on? After firing ALL the "few key people (including some veterans)" and in doing so prompting at least two lawsuits (so far)? At what point have Musk's actions promoted "internal cohesion"? Looks to me like he's tossed that concept in the nearest paper shredder. There are also reports he's bringin in people from Tesla to run Twitter. So much for "key people" and "internal cohesion," if it wasn't gone already.You lose platform advertisers slowly, then all at once. https://t.co/0X1znz0BwN

Talking to a couple of Twitter employees just now who learned they don't work there anymore when their email stopped working. I have never talked to people more excited to get laid off in my entire life.
