Huge segments of the world don’t see value in Twitter (and they might have a point) and don’t use it. It’s the “public square” of a subset of people.

I’m interested and a bit nervous in what changes Musk will usher in. But I definitely see the opportunity for him to make a lot of money.



And they're never GOING to use it, because Twitter isn't for them.

The Tiktok crowd is not the Twitter crowd. The Twitter crowd is not the Facebook crowd. The only platform that truly has cross-group viability is instagram, and that's only because it's a visual platform.

Twitter is a place where you make short, concise statements and people yell at you. Remove the character limit and it's just a feature-barren Facebook but with a bunch of people you don't even personally know. Everybody has been crying that it can "be more." It doesn't want to "be more." "Being more" is antithetical to the spirit of the enterprise and will kill it.
