The End of an Era: Twitter will be the platform that I use, no more than Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, or Telegram.


What Will Change After Elon Musk Takes Over Control Of Twitter? https://youtu.be/SePs5Ao53bY

When something is free, you are the product. I'm tired of Facebook, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, and telegram, I'm going to bet on the new private Twitter that is not listed on the stock market. From October 24, Twitter will be the platform that I use, no more than Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, or Telegram.

Twitter is a microblogging and social networking service owned by American company Twitter, Inc., on which users post and interact with messages known as "tweets". Registered users can post, like, and retweet tweets, while unregistered users only have a limited ability to read public tweets. Users interact with Twitter through browser or mobile frontend software, or programmatically via its APIs. Before April 2020, services were accessible via SMS. Tweets were initially restricted to 140 characters, but the limit was doubled to 280 for non-CJK languages in November 2017. Audio and video tweets remain limited to 140 seconds for most accounts.

I am sure that Elon Musk will make reasonable changes on this platform, which was already competing with Linkedin.

Twitter was created by Jack Dorsey, Noah Glass, Biz Stone, and Evan Williams in March 2006 and launched in July of that year. Twitter, Inc. is based in San Francisco, California, and has more than 25 offices around the world. By 2012, more than 100 million users posted 340 million tweets a day, and the service handled an average of 1.6 billion search queries per day. In 2013, it was one of the ten most-visited websites and has been described as "the SMS of the Internet". By the start of 2019, Twitter had more than 330 million monthly active users. In practice, the vast majority of tweets are written by a minority of users.

Among the CEOs of Nasdaq companies, I like the style of the South African and Canadian Elon Musk, owner of Tesla and SpaceX.

On April 25, 2022, the Twitter board of directors agreed to a $44 billion buyout by Elon Musk, making it one of the biggest deals to turn a company private. After a protracted period of controversy and legal battles, the deal closed on October 27. Some scholars, critics, and civil rights advocates consider that the acquisition could lead to radicalizati
on, especially among the far-right.

Musk, who said he was buying Twitter to ensure the “future of civilization,” is no stranger to cryptocurrency. Tesla is one of the largest corporate holders of Bitcoin—despite having sold 75% of its holdings. And Musk has frequently pumped the original meme coin, Dogecoin; in April, he said the cryptocurrency could be used for payments on Twitter.

The biggest cryptocurrency exchange Binance, is creating an internal team to focus on how crypto can help Twitter.  If you think like me and want to be more in touch, I invite you to connect via @vilagutr.
