BANKRUPTCY, AND PREDICTED COLLAPSE OF TWITTER IS PREMATURE
IF ANYTHING, DON'T DOUBT MUSK'S ABILITY
Last week saw an exodus of many workers from twitter. Musk had made the announcement that they should prepare to work long hours or leave and many left. They believe that company will not survive without them. I expect that Musk is using several different means of eliminating the dead wood and the over-partisan workers at Twitter. First the out right firing of the top executives, the departure of some technicians just on the word that Musk bought the company. The process is just the first step into making the company into just a small part of Musk's vision of his media companies of the future.
Whether you like or dislike Musk, no one can deny he has a unique ability and vision in his enterprises. This coupled with he ability to hire people who can put that vision into reality. I doubt that Musk really knows the in and outs of social media, but we can expect after some time he will know what and how to use it to accomplish his goals.
One must take note, that his electric car company is the most successful and best of the lot. He has competed against GM, Ford and the foreign makers and excelled. His Space-x rockets are without a doubt a step into the future and continually maker advances. While some of his hopes seem to be on the front edge of science fiction he has been able to show many of his doubters what is possible.
Then there is STAR-Link satellite company that is without a doubt the future of internet access. By using Space-X he is able to put satellites up in amazing time. He will indeed be able to provide internet access to every corner of the globe in the near future.
I expect that Twitter is just a means to enter into this social media network. It will allow him to find the best and brightest engineers and technicians to be used in implementing his broader vision of a technology, social media and entertainment company that will be a challenge to much of the existing cable media, telephone, internet, electronic payment and whatever the future can be using the infrastructure that he his building.
It is now appearing his success has aroused the notice of the government, who may fear that Musk is a threat to their control of all these platforms. It would be a shame for the government 's fear of Musk's vision to attempt to squash someone who compares to the some of the greatest innovators in history.
