Also, if he didn’t buy Twitter and this was the path Twitter went down, Elon would have NEVER authorized paying for Blue badges for any of his employees. He has hardly paid vendors for services which are far more critical.
These business geniuses don’t get that it’s not about the price - it’s about the owner of Twitter constantly going out of his way to be a huge asshole to most of his potential customers. Why would you want to make that person richer??
@JuddLegum@CommunityNotes CN cannot be used as the arbiter of truth. This is why we have investigative journalism, which Musk does not understand since it doesn’t suit his current narrative. A reckless dependence on CN will lead to some version of this https://t.co/01tAYTTAEX
#1 @elonmusk says the mission of Twitter 2.0 is to be the most reliable source of information and to provide citizens with a way to control the narrative:
"The goal is to have Twitter be the best source of truth, the most timely and accurate source of truth, even if the truth is something we don't want to hear or unpleasant. Not just is something true or not, but what is the narrative.
Most people don't appreciate that the media controls the narrative, so there are many things that could be talked about in the world, but only a few things can fit on the front page. But Twitter doesn't have a limitation like that, so the public can control the narrative, and the public can inform themselves as to what the narrative should be.
That's a really big deal. It's a forum for citizen journalism or for the public to get together and communicate in a way that was never possible before so you can really know what's going on."
This makes absolute sense. When I give a talk for a corporation, I don’t promote other corporations. If I did, I would be fired on the spot and never booked again. Is that hard to understand?
@AbhijitCMehta You are an amazing leader Abhijit. You cared very deeply about the team, the project and the organization. It was a pleasure working with you on Blue and I learned a lot in observing you. I hope our paths cross again.
