  • Do you think that Trump's victory could "fix" the Twitter's downfall?

    I found this graphic design by a visual capitalist: Twitter's valuation dropped from $5.7b (2022) to $673m (2024) under Musk's presence. And when Donald and Elon are now frenz, do you think Elon's $44b investment start rising? I can see now many people shifting towards Threads and Bluesky.

    lol. x has proven they are the signal. Any valuation by legacy media means nothing.

    @juliomedina currently the platform serves as the propaganda channel. But still found there great people besides that.

    Nah...I don't think so. Unless X takes action against the increase in spam accounts, I don't think so. I feel it's in the quality of people who reach out through X decides the value of X

    @indu_thangamuthu The next months will show but last couple of months the platform served as a good promo channel for political campaign for Trump.

    @busmark_w_nika Yep...with Musk being the Main spokesperson 😃 Now that Trump has won, I guess the purpose is complete and hope things will get back to how it was....

    @busmark_w_nika 😂 Banning in X is fine by me. Ban me from the earth,....then he has to deport me to Mars only. I might end up as his lab rat. 😅 As long as it's a free trip for me... I'm ok. 😎

    @indu_thangamuthu Do not try to make an enemy in Musk. Because if you wanna go to Mars, he probably will be the first person who can help you with that :D

    Very interesting question! 😀But to be honest, I don't know the answer either. It's just that I do feel like I'm being pushed by a media platform! This worries me a little, but what media outlet isn't? It's the same for everyone.

    No, I don't think that it will have an impact.

    @dcupl do you think that Twitter will shut down?
    Gernot Bernkopf
    @busmark_w_nika no. As long as there are enough potential Republican followers, it won't. Or let's say "US followers" not just Republicans.

    @busmark_w_nika There's a dirty backstory of how democrats made it 'fall'. Now Twitter is gonna be stronger than ever

    Well, if Trump's presence could fix Twitter, it would probably be the most miraculous comeback since MySpace! Given the current trend of users flocking to Threads and Bluesky, I'm skeptical. Maybe Elon should consider "Her Ideal Match" to better understand what users really want!

    @thestarkster Do not forget that during Dorsey's ownership, Trump was blocked :D so this is the opposite and he will be welcomed there (especially by Republicans) on the platform. Many democratic-oriented users resigned and shifted towards alternatives. BUT I think they will return back to check the political situation and news.

    I mean, not sure how much stock I would put in these arbitrary brand value stats. We learned one thing for sure last night: The media and Reddit are in a bubble X accurately reflected overall American sentiment. They also reached record usage last night.

    @nathancovey Next few months will be more clear to us. I think that massive whoop can happen also in January when there will be a ceremony with Trump.

    Heh, Nika, I had the exact same worry! Just a few days ago, my X feed was flooded with nothing but election and NSFW content, and even hitting ‘not interested’ didn’t help. But yesterday, something finally shifted, and I started seeing content I actually wanted.

    @busmark_w_nika not really — I'm just hoping to get in early on a new social platform or finally crack the code on the ones we have now :)

    @busmark_w_nika let’s move to Bluesky, Nika, and support each other to boost each other up :) Once I’ve got the vibe and persona I’m aiming for, I’ll share my handle with you— if you’re cool with that, of course!

    I agree Nika! I was thinking the same this morning. Twitter usage has declined since Elon bought it (media is saying round 15%) but I'm betting it'll rapidly grow now he's Trump's new bestie. I checked my feed last night (after it was announced Trump had won), & there were 50/50 balanced views (some against Trump, some for Trump, & a lot of Elon's posts winning the top spots in my algorithm/feed.

    @emily_willis1 I think that people who love or hate him will be there to have it as a source of news. People are curious and want to be among first to see them. So when now Trump is in the centre of happening, Twitter will be his main platform = main source of news for the rest of the world.

    @hijakr_ I would like to see their aim –> decentralisation. It is somehow still centralised and honestly cannot imagine how it can distance itself from it. It is like Twitter but less frequent.

    @hijakr_ @busmark_w_nika How about Mastodon? It's very skewed toward the tech community, but checks some of your boxes on decentralization.
