I’m worried about tangible changes. As their largest shareholder with a seat on the board (not to mention lots of fans/popular with some) I don’t want him to be able to drive product decisions.
I know what I would like to change (better 3rd part app support, better anti-harassment tools). I don’t see why he would push for either one.
I don’t know what he WOULD push for, but I worry I won’t like it. He called for the edit button. I know that’s long requested but carries some serious downsides. And I don’t want them glossed over because they push to get it out to make him and his army happy.
I’m not a fan but I don’t think my liking Twitter and Elon being a big shareholder implies I am a fan of his. Twitter has enough of its own identity.
Well Twitter never really hooked me, so I’m mostly just a curious onlooker, but to me it seems that Twitter is pretty stagnant. Do you think there’s a possibility that this change has a positive outcome?
No. I’ll admit I’m pessimistic on such things. Sure Twitter could improve, but I don’t see how/why that would be led by Musk. I don’t see what he brings to the table other than himself as a person. It’s not like he was an expert in a similar field/company like FB, IG, TikTok, etc.
