Yay Elmo 🤨


Twixter has lost a shit load of value since Elmo bought it.

If you remember, he paid $44B for a company valued at about $20B, and since then, the valuation has dropped by as much as $15B according to some, while others are (IMO) a little over-anxious to boost the company, thinking (again, IMO) it might be ripe for a big comeback.


NOTE: Fidelity helped put Elmo's financing together so he could buy the thing last fall.
Gee, I wonder if that has anything to do with their decision to pimp it up a little.

But the main problem being reported is that ad revenues continue to lag badly - because companies want to avoid the potential for brand damage due to their names appearing next to some seriously slimy posts on a platform becoming quite well-known for slime, and dis-infobots, and racism, and Nazis, and hosts of other monsters of the id.

Case in point:




We can't continue with an overarching policy of Profit Over Principle, and expect a nice happy ending. It's never worked out like that. Ever.
  • People, then Policy
  • Labor, then Capital
  • Principle, then Profit
Call it a Business School version of Popper's Paradox: Allowing an anything-goes fully-laissez-faire management philosophy because "Profit Is King" can lead to the extinction of profit.

I think maybe Elmo is illustrating that for us now.
