You could easily clean up bots and spam and make the service viable for many more users Removing bots and spam is a lot less complicated than what the Tesla self driving team is doing ( based on hearing the last edge case meeting ) -

Back of the envelope ... Twitter revenue per employee : $ 5B rev / 8k employees = $ 625K rev per employee in 2021 Google revenue per employee : $ 257B rev / 135K employee = $ 1.9M per employee in 2021 Apple revenue per employee : $ 365B rev / 154k employees = $ 2.37M per employee in fiscal 2021

2022-04-15 17:08:07 ( CDT )

Twitter revenue per employee if 3k instead of 8k : $ 5B rev / 3k employees = $ 1.66m rev per employee in 2021 ( more industry standard )

Premium feature abound ... and twitter blue has exactly zero

2022-04-15 17:30:23 ( CDT )

What committee came up with the list of dog shit features in Blue ? ! ? It's worth paying to turn it off !

2022-04-15 17:44:35 ( CDT )

Yeah , what an insane piece of shit !

2022-04-16 01:46:40 ( CDT )

Maybe we don't talk twitter on twitter DM

2022-04-16 01:49:49 ( CDT )

I will be universally beloved , since it is so easy to please everyone on twitter

2022-04-23 21:04:30 ( CDT )

It feels like everyone wants the same exact thing , and they will be patient and understanding of any changes ... Twitter Stans are a reasonable , good faith bunch

2022-04-23 21:07:10 ( CDT )

Splitting revenue with video creators like YouTube could be huge unlock

2022-04-23 21:07:28 ( CDT )

We could literally give video creators 100 % of their ad revenue up to $ 1m then do split

2022-04-23 21:07:31 ( CDT )

Absolutely

2022-04-23 21:17:25 ( CDT )

5 Teams : 5 Northstar metrics 1. Legacy Opps : uptime , speed 2. Membership team : remove bots while getting users to pay for " Real Name Memberships " $ 5 a month $ 50 a year . Includes 24 hours response to customer service 3. Payments : % of users that have connected a bank account / made a deposit 4. Creator Team : get creators to publish to twitter first ( musicians , YouTubers , tiktokers , etc ) by giving them the best % split in the industry ( and promotion ) 5. Transparency Team : make the Algorithm & Moderation understandable and fair

2022-04-23 21:18:49 ( CDT )

I think those are the 5 critical pieces ... everyone agrees to " year one " sprint , including coming back to offices within the first 60 days ( unless given special dispensation for extraordinary contribution )

If 2 , 3 or 4 unlock they are each 250b + markets

2022-04-23 21:26:41 ( CDT )

Payments is $ 250-500b , YouTube / creators is $ 250b +

2022-04-23 21:28:31 ( CDT )

Membership no one has tried really .... So hard to estimate . 1-5m paid members maybe @ $ 50-100 a year ? 250k corporate memberships @ 10k a year ?

2022-04-25 14:21:26 ( CDT )

It will take a few months for the deal to complete before I'm actually in control

2022-04-25 15:12:00 ( CDT )

Just had the best idea ever for monetization ... if you pay .01 per follower per year , you can DM all your followers up to 1x a day .

2022-04-25 15:12:22 ( CDT )

500,000 follows = $ 5,000 and 1 DM them when I have new podcast episode , or I'm doing an event ... or my new book comes out

2022-04-25 15:14:37 ( CDT )

And let folks slice and dice .... so , you could DM all your twitter followers in Berlin and invite them to the GigaRave

2022-04-25 15:14:55 ( CDT )

Oh my lord this would unlock the power of Twitter and goose revenue massively .... Who wouldn't pay for this ! ? ! ?

2022-04-25 15:15:37 ( CDT )

and if you over use the tool and are annoying folks would unfollow you ... so it's got a built in safe guard ( unlike email spam )

2022-04-25 15:16:11 ( CDT )

Imagine we ask Justin Beaver to come back and let him DM his fans ... he could sell $ 10m in merchandise or tickets instantly , Would be INSANE for power users and companies

2022-05-02 11:32:48 ( CDT )

on thing you can do in this regard is an SPV of 250 folks capped at $ 10m .. pain on the next for a large company , but one item on cap table

2022-05-02 11:33:00 ( CDT )

You do have to have someone lead / manage the SPV

2022-05-02 11:34:53 ( CDT )

Go ahead

2022-05-02 11:42:30 ( CDT )

Liked " Go ahead "

2022-05-02 11:43:04 ( CDT )

When you're private its fairly easy to do , but I think current shareholders have to re - up

2022-05-02 11:47:16 ( CDT )

Are you sure ?

2022-05-02 11:51:13 ( CDT )

I am not

2022-05-02 11:51:21 ( CDT )

Have never done a take private

2022-05-02 11:52:09 ( CDT )

Large shareholders ( QPs ) are likely different than non - accredited investors

2022-05-12 19:18:52 ( CDT )

What's going on with you marketing an SPV to randos ? This is not ok .

2022-05-12 19:22:58 ( CDT )

Not randos , I have the largest angel syndicate and that's how I invest . We've done 250+ deals like this and we know all the folks . I though that was how folks were doing it .

2022-05-12 19:23:28 ( CDT )

$ 100m + on commitments , but if that not ok it's fine . Just wanted to support the effort .

2022-05-12 19:25:46 ( CDT )

~ 300 QPs and 200 accredited investors said they would do it . It's not an open process obviously , only folks already in our syndicate .

2022-05-12 19:28:30 ( CDT )

There is * massive demand to support your effort btw ... people really want to see you win .

2022-05-12 19:30:30 ( CDT )

Morgan Stanley and Jared think you are using our friendship not in a good way

2022-05-12 19:31:12 ( CDT )

This makes it seem like I'm desperate .

2022-05-12 19:31:17 ( CDT )

Please stop

2022-05-12 19:31:48 ( CDT )

Only ever want to support you .

2022-05-12 19:37:49 ( CDT )

Clearly you're not desperate - you have the worlds greatest investors voting in support of a deal you already have covered . you're overfunded . will quietly cancel it ... And to be clear , I'm not out actively soliciting folks . These are our exiting LPs not rondos . Sorry for any trouble

2022-05-12 19:55:14 ( CDT )

Morgan Stanley and Jared are very upset

2022-05-12 19:55:55 ( CDT )
