Does Elon Musk have a Twitter long game?

Tech

Welcome to fortune tech debate where we discussed the topic of the day in two minutes. I'm data sheet writer Jacob Carpenter here with news reporter christian headliner today. We're discussing what else but Elon musk and twitter, so christian, how do you think it's gone so far? Not well, whether we're talking about an increase in hate speech or advertisers threatening to pull out, um, there hasn't been a lot of evidence to suggest things are moving in the right direction that said, uh, Elon Musk, I think it was also more or less forced into this deal since the court effectively, uh, you know, required him to move forward on his $44 billion dollar contract. Yeah, I think part of what's strange is it just doesn't seem like there's a coherent plan here. I mean we've seen, you know, some discussions and proposals around things like charging for verification around rebooting vine, creating an only fans type of system where creators can charge to view a video and so it just doesn't feel like there's a plan. Um, but what do you kind of you as a long term prospects here? Well, I think, you know, like I said, that is a result of him basically been forced to do this deal at the last second. He wanted to pull out? I think in the, in the meantime you sort of come out with this idea that it should be arrival to china, we chat, which pretty much everyone in that country at some point in their day uses. I think that's a sensible business plan. I think there's a lot of support for that from certain parts of the U. S. Community. But ultimately, you know, this would take years before it could create something like that. Well, and that's the one thing you can say about Elon musk is that he's not afraid to try different things. He's certainly not afraid to shake things up, especially given all these layoffs. And so the guy will innovate, the guy will try something different. The question is whether he can execute on that. Yes, absolutely. I think part of the problem is that he's been encouraged by far too many people in the Silicon Valley community that whatever he touches turns to gold and this is fundamentally different business from Tesla or from SpaceX. This is a software, this is a social media platform you can't compare it to. Well that's all the time we have today. Head to Fortune dot com for more tech debate.
