Let's just speculate On what will happen if Elon took over twitter
let's have fun and imagine what will the various masks of Elon want to achieve.
1. Elon the influencer
Elon the influencer will definitely make use of his new status in twitter to great use.
He may look into more ways to connect withhis fans and to extend his influence to even more people.
2. Elon the businessman
As a businessman, Elon will sure set his house right. The members of the board will definitely be asked to go and be held accountable for their "performance".
0 pay May only be the start of their Problems.
Elon will have to find a way to turn around twitter, to develop its "potential".
In order to do so, he may Have to make siginificant change to the current management and employees of twitter.
Expect mass resignation of existing staff, unless Elon gave them an offer that's hard to resist. Perhaps some shares So that they can be stakeholders in the change.
Elon will also have to find a way to ensure continual and growing profitability of twitter, as doubt that he will pump more money intotwitter besides the takeover.
He could build on the subscription service, which could be difficult, as the Current benefits for twitter blue doesnt seem compelling.
A possible source of income could be monetising the data that twitter has from its users.
Perharps Elon has a plan on how to monetise it yet not depending so much on advertisements.
Well, at bare minimum since Tesla doesn't really spend on advertisement, Twitter will become the perfect marketing tool for Tesla and Elon's ventures without spending extra money after full control of twitter.
3. Elon the engineer/visionary
Elon the engineer will "fix it". Including the "edit" button and all the issues that he had highlighted that are problematic with twitter.
However, he could have more in mind.
Could the data provided by twitter be used
a) to provide data and reference for Tesla bots To be more human like in future?
b) to mine the data, so that Elon can explorethe usage of big data
Perharps twitter can also be used as a link to Tesla phone and Tesla cars.
In addition, not forgetting the data centres and support that twitter already has to span the whole world.
Elon could end up creating synergy between starlink with twitter data centres.
I am honestly not tech savvy, I dun even know if it can be done, but well, he's Elon, god knows what he thinks and what he can do.
4. Elon the troll
Hahaha. If Elon pulled out of twitter, we will end up getting played by Elon the troll.
Guess this musk doesn't need any introduction. This musk does appear on and off, and the intentions are never clear.
All in all, we can speculate on his intentions for all we want. We are not Elon musk, his intentions will become clear with time.
Meanwhile, be careful of elon the troll..
