Founder

Everyone knows this 
 If I'm not wrong, Musk is one of the highest donator of Trump in this election.

Software Developer

He’s been very vocal on Twitter about his support. He also trolls Biden/Harris extensively

Product Manager

This is such a pathetic relationship lol Trump absolutely despises Elon and regularly shits on him and he just takes it and continues to lick the boot for those tax cuts

Can anyone explain what is happening and why it is such a big deal?

- Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s joint X Spaces event crashed Monday afternoon, scheduled for 5 pm PT but users received an error message.
- The message “This Space is not available” appeared on X when trying to join the highly anticipated conversation.
- The event, promoted by Trump and Musk, was supposed to mark Trump’s return to X and started at 5:42 pm PT instead of the scheduled 5 pm PT.
- Musk claimed a massive DDOS attack on X caused the crash, linking it to opposition against hearing Trump.
- This is not the first time an X Space has crashed during a political campaign; similar issues occurred during Ron DeSantis’s 2024 campaign announcement in May 2023.

Twitter, now rebranded X, has been ordered to pay compensation to a former employee in an unfair dismissal case. The social media platform has been asked to pay 550,000 euros ( ₹5 crore approximately) to Gary Rooney, who was fired in December 2022 after hashtag Elon Musk’s takeover of the company.

It's been 2 days since I joined grapevine and the pressure for thinking a cool or logical question to ask on grapevine is more than the deadline follow-ups by my manager.

What should I ask on grapevine?

Genuinely curious, what do you find cool about this guy?

Fans of Elon Musk: What is it about him?

To find out who did, look all the way back to the start of the story.

Elon Musk didn’t kill Twitter

Growth Manager

- Twitter Blue, a subscription service allowing users to buy verified badges, was launched under Elon Musk's ownership but faced immediate backlash. - Employees warned Musk about the dangers of the service, fearing it could lead to misinformation and harassment. - Despite initial enthusiasm, the service was shut down a day after its launch due to widespread criticism and confusion. - The chaotic rollout and subsequent issues have damaged Musk's reputation and Twitter's credibility. - The book 'Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter' provides an in-depth look at the tumultuous period.

Hi again @elonmusk 👋

I hope you are well. 

I’m fine too. I’m thankful for your interest in my health. 

But since you mentioned it, I wanted to give you more info. 

I have muscular dystrophy. It has many effects on my body. 

Let me tell you what they are: https://t.co/2vb16kP6Yv

Fierce war b/w Elon and an ex employee

Still can’t believe that zuck mounted this insane PR comeback.

- Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter, now rebranded as X, has shifted the platform's political stance, drawing criticism for promoting right-wing views.
- Musk's controversial posts and actions, including support for Donald Trump and inflammatory comments on UK riots, have sparked backlash from politicians and the public.
- Critics argue that Musk's control over X poses risks to democratic processes and international stability, while his supporters see him as a defender of free speech.
- The EU and US are grappling with how to regulate Musk's influence, with the EU threatening sanctions and the US facing legal limitations.
- Despite Musk's efforts, X's user base remains smaller than Meta's, and many liberals are migrating to alternative platforms like Threads.

Elon Musk's Political Influence on X: A Double-Edged Sword

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7155144061912240128/

Things can go downhill, that's understandable but reaching out to an investor of the said startup is basically the privileged folk trying to get even with the founder on fucking up. Thoughts?

Founder’s office

- Nearly two years after Elon Musk's acquisition, X's business is still struggling to recover from the financial strain it fell into under his ownership.
- The $13 billion loan Musk used to buy Twitter has become the worst merger-finance deal for banks since the 2008-09 financial crisis, with banks unable to offload the debt without major losses.
- The loans have remained 'hung' on banks' balance sheets, leading to significant write-downs and impacting bank profits and compensation for merger departments.
- Despite hefty interest payments from the X loans, the banks face regulatory scrutiny and have scaled back on providing capital for other merger-finance deals.
- The banks are caught in a dilemma: they want to maintain good relations with Musk for future business opportunities but are struggling with the financial fallout from the Twitter deal.
