A San Francisco jury found Elon Musk liable for two misleading tweets during the 2022 Twitter takeover, though rejected broader fraud claims. Damages could exceed $2 billion across the five-month class period. Musk's "deal temporarily on hold" tweet sent shares down 9.6% in one day. His first major courtroom loss after years of legal victories.
-
Musk testified in San Francisco federal court that his 2022 tweets questioning the Twitter deal reflected "honest frustration," not market manipulation. He conceded he "may have" used a rope-a-dope strategy during negotiations. Twitter stock dropped up to 20% after his "deal on hold" tweet. Trial continues through March 19 with potential $1B damages at stake.

The Twitter takeover showed us what we’re all dealing with now, and it’s a clear sign that we shouldn’t let any single person accumulate too much wealth. When they get too rich, they lose touch with reality and become a burden on everyone around them.

#ElectionInterferenceExactly. #Elmo is carrying out "A controlled demolition" of #X (formerly #Twitter.)
I (and others) have been saying this since early 2023.
However, many saw (and still see) it as a "conspiracy theory". Alas, it clearly isn't, Nicole.If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is a duck--here is the reason why, and it's not pretty:

Haut endlich ab!
Auf #X gibt es momentan eine Austrittswelle. Soll man die Plattform nun den Rechten überlassen? Die Antwort ist leicht: Ja, der Ort ist verloren.
"X gleicht heute einem Haifischbecken voller Faschos und Trolle. Es ist ein Ort, wo #Musk mit der #AfD kuschelt und progressive Stimmen gemobbt und bedroht werden. [...] Wieso sollte man sich dort noch freiwillig aufhalten?

Just so you know: Of the more than 1300 verified journalists on #Mastodon in my table, less than half has been active since the beginning of the year. Only about 200 post daily:

Elon Musk's X #Revenue has officially plummeted, new documents show
Remember when #ElonMusk said he wanted #X to be more PayPal-like? New docs show this plan is still on.
"In the first six months of 2023 [...] X's revenue fell by nearly 40 percent from the same period the prior year. The company brought in $1.48 billion during that time period. Furthermore, X lost $456 million in the first quarter of 2023."

The great #MastodonMigration after the #TwitterTakeover was accompanied by many helpful tools to find followers worth following.
With #Threads federating (partially) and #Bluesky bridged, I think we need new ones now. Are there any?

His inflammatory posting of far-right conspiracy theories (among other things) has turned off prospective buyers for whom a Tesla was once an aspirational purchase. “Is Elon’s brand damaging Tesla sales in the US?” asked Gene Munster, managing partner of Deepwater Asset Management. “It’s directionally a negative.”

I just finished this book about Twitter. I thought I'd be pissed about Musk, but Jack comes out really bad. Basically, according to the book, Jack drove Twitter into the ground, bailed out, and let everyone else drown.
Unbelievable. Worth a read.

(1/2) #TwitterTakeover
While not a very well-known account, I tried the same thing for a couple of weeks, trying to get people to migrate to #Mastodon.
The #Post strategy, as I remember it, was quite different. The wanted a centralized platform earn royalties for professional writers, was my take on the #DeadBirdSite back then.
This is different. OFC #Elmo would block that!--This would have destroyed the value of the #Twitter acquisition--virtually global reach/a...

My theory is #musk bought #twitter because it was giving TOO much voice to the masses. The #billionaires cannot have this. Just note the changes since his takeover. Doesn’t matter if it collapses, he’s done his small #Billionaire part for the upper echelon. #NoBillionaires #TwitterTakeover #TwitterDeath -

If you're curious about the set of dog-tags that Elon Musk is wearing while he's smirking and telling people "Go fuck yourself", they're from the IDF.
Haven't seen anyone else report on it yet, but Elon Musk, Twitter's Nazi-meme-posting owner, is wearing dog-tags from the Israel Defence Forces. He's making a visible dog-whistle to show support of Israel's genocide in Palestine.
Unlike real military dog-tags, they're not identical copies. One tag has Hebrew text, and the other has English text. The English one reads "Bring them home now!" The dog-tags are propaganda merchandise sold by The Hostage and Missing Families Forum. They're a group of anonymous spokespeople who make press statements, collect charity money, and are promoted on LinkedIn by crypto-scammers.

Whatever mind-altering drugs Elon Musk is on, they don't appear to be helping him be a better person.
Also, I'm open to "blackmail with money" — the more the better — if that's what they're now calling getting paid to do your job and recognising your core business functions.https://twitter.com/AlexThomp/status/1729996181756129724

If you take the creation date of the accounts following @heiseonline, there is a clear peak in the 4th quarter of 2022 (#TwitterTakeover), since then, there is visible stability: More than 5000 follower where created in each quarter.
If you just take the months and limit them to 2022 and 2023, you see the big peak in November (roughly a third was created then) and the slowdon in summer 2023.

#ElonMusk’s Disturbing ‘Truth’
The billionaire affirmed the deadliest anti-Semitic conspiracy theory in recent American history.
"The fate of the tiny Jewish community rests in the hands of non-Jewish society. Whether the anti-Jewish ideas of Musk and others become the new normal is not up to Jews; it’s up to everyone else."

#X traffic and monthly active users are in decline
Despite proclamations from X CEO Linda #Yaccarino that usage of the social network was at an all-time high this summer, a new report is throwing cold water
"Although the U.S. accounts for roughly a quarter of X’s web traffic, other countries also saw declines in web traffic, including the U.K. (-11.6%), France (-13.4%), Germany (-17.9%) and Australia (-17.5%)."

"Six months later, we can see that the effects of leaving Twitter have been negligible. A memo circulated to NPR staff says traffic has dropped by only a single percentage point as a result of leaving Twitter, now officially renamed X, though #traffic from the platform was small already and accounted for just under two percent of traffic before the posting stopped."

#Germany's anti-discrimination agency quits X over anti-minority posts
@antidiskriminierung said it would close its account on SocialMedia platform #X, formerly #Twitter, because of increasing #intolerance of minorities expressed by users on the site, and urged other bodies to follow suit.
"Other state agencies and government ministries should ask themselves whether it made sense to remain on a [...] a disinformation network"
