There is a great deal to admire about Elon Musk. His quest to create the car maker of the future from nothing is in itself enough to cement his visionary status.Few thought it was possible, and yet ...

I doubt it, if you have follow what Elon musk talk about how China have super app where it one stops app for everything from shopping to daily use. Buying twitter and changing it to a one-stop super app is possible given how he change the worldwith tesla. Given that Tesla going to release theirphone, it can be one of their app. Who knows what going on in his mind.

His quest to create the car maker of the future from nothing is in itself enough to cement his visionary status.Few thought it was possible, and yet when it comes to electrification, the established automotive giants, from VW and General Motors to Renault and Toyota, are still playing catch-up to Tesla.Musk has been relentless in pushing boundaries. Though his Solar City venture is yet to take off in the same way, he is convinced that civilisation will one day be largely powered by the sun’s rays.The tycoon also wants to construct a network of giant transport tunnels to solve city congestion, conquer space and eventually colonise Mars. Many people, and not just the legion of slightly creepy Tesla fanboys, regard him as the greatest living entrepreneur.However, his $US44 billion ($68.6 billion) takeover of Twitter in the name of free speech already looks unlikely to count among Musk’s world-changing achievements. On the contrary, it has all the makings of being his biggest failure to date.This shouldn’t come as too much of a shock to those who have followed Musk’s career closely. In celebrating his many undoubted achievements it is easy to overlook the fact that his path to becoming the world’s richest individual has been paved with some major errors of judgment.The latest– a “peace plan” to end Russia’s war against Ukraine provoked a serious backlash after Musk urged Kyiv to seek a negotiated solution to the invasion and to cede Crimea for good.With Twitter, Musk appears utterly lost. It’s obvious that he has no idea what he’s doing, and yet perhaps what is most striking is that it was such a thoroughly predictable turn of events.He has put on a display of typical bravado but this was a $44 billion stunt from which Musk was desperate to pull out. Having been forced by a court in Delaware to follow through with his bid, reality has started to bite, leaving the billionaire flailing around in search of a solution to Twitter’s long-standing problems.The sacking of its most senior executives, including chief executive Parag Agrawal, finance director Ned Segal and legal affairs chief Vijaya Gadde, achieves little other than ensuring that Musk’s reign kicks off in suitably chaotic fashion, sowing discord and unnecessary uncertainty among the broader workforce.Reports, although denied by Musk, claiming that he wanted to dispatch the trio along with thousands of other staff before severance payouts kicked in at the beginning of this month, raises questions about whether he is lashing out at those he accused of misleading him during negotiations.Twitter employees have also raised the possibility that parts of the workforce could be discriminated against for their perceived political views. Musk has previously claimed that the company has “a strong left-wing bias”.Yet, as ever with Musk, the line between genius and insanity is always blurred. He’s a maverick and a risk-taker who loves to take on the establishment.But in always seeking to ruffle feathers there is a danger that the bigger picture is lost. In response to the departure of Agrawal and others, Musk tweeted “the bird is freed” and changed his Twitter bio to “chief twit”, fuelling the suspicion, as Twitter staff neatly put it in an open letter to their new owner, that his takeover was little more than “a game played by billionaires” rather than an attempt to uphold free speech.Musk has also said he has “no idea” who the chief executive is. It was presumably a joke but the fact that you can’t be sure is another sign of how much has already gone wrong since his buyout went through just days ago.Yet all the swagger in the world cannot make up for Twitter’s commercial shortcomings. Plans to revamp the verification process for coveted blue tick accounts are unlikely to fix a subscription service whose success has long eluded the tech company, let alone trigger a miraculous turnaround in Twitter’s fortunes.Programmers have been given a week to implement the changes, a sign perhaps that Musk has little faith in their effectiveness.The social media platform is clearly in need of new ideas. Yet the risk is that in his quest to promote free speech, Musk risks damaging the Twitter brand even further by allowing the bots and the trolls, which he claims to want stamped out, to proliferate instead.Musk has even raised the prospect of fresh legal action over misleading user numbers – although it’s not clear against who, or to what end. He already looks to be running short of answers.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":9985913947,"gmtCreate":1667289777889,"gmtModify":1676537892252,"author":{"id":"3585439194464584","authorId":"3585439194464584","name":"JoeOng","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/44b0b394a26fcf497515e9ac1ad7d197","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3585439194464584","authorIdStr":"3585439194464584"},"htmlText":"I doubt it, if you have follow what Elon musk talk about how China have super app where it one stops app for everything from shopping to daily use.&nbsp; Buying twitter and changing it to a one-stop super app is possible given how he change the worldwith tesla.
