Back up your stance. Give reasons why. I gave you numbers that back up my argument. You do the same.



Look at his baby tesla. They fell 12% last year.

Bluesky, his rival competition, grew by 5 million users in less than 3 months since the election.

Elon has been quoted saying their user growth on x is stagnant.

What? TSLA went up 90% over the last year. You’re looking at the year YTD. It’s regressing to the mean right now but still massively higher than it was a year ago. I’m convinced you have no clue what you’re looking at and that’s why you just revert to pointing at the posts of others.

Reactionary actions aren’t typically a sign of growth. Bluesky saw a drop shortly after the election and picked back up once Trump got into office(which is so fricking hilarious but that’s another story). Blue sky’s success literally relies on Donald Trump

Cool. Doesn’t change the fact that the projected path of profitability shows a value of 4x’s what he paid for it. If anything…..that’s further proof that he knows what he’s doing.

I’ll give you credit for trying this time. You’ve graduated from being an idiot to just wrong.

Thanks for the education. I misread the information and interpreted it wrong.

No worries. All I ask is for effort.

I still feel like the social media market in general is very fluid, especially with the recent formation of meta, and a polarizing figure like musk isn't necessarily the best figurehead of trying to grow a free speech platform.

He has a set of beliefs that don't line up with other people's beliefs, and I've read several reports of him making it harder for those opinions that differ from his to be seen.

It is. I think he sees that and it’s why he’s implementing a payment system to help drive revenue

He’s only polarizing because of people who can’t put their political biases aside. It’s the same with DOGE. The same people who have been screaming to stop corporate greed are now screaming about Musk helping stop government greed. It shows the piss poor moral compass of those people. They don’t actually care about stopping greed. They just want “their guy” to be the greedy one.

Depends on what “beliefs” you’re talking about. If it’s from employees who share a difference belief than him, tough. Go start your own company. But I’ve heard he’s always been very open to ideas.
