He wasn’t serious about buying Twitter, but the FCC was going to force him because he accidentally committed to it legally and couldn’t get out of it
To make the deal he had to get loans with his other stock as collateral.
He could legitimately lose huuuge chunks of his wealth if Twitter goes under and he can’t pay the loans. And he has no idea how to make it profitable. No one’s figured it out, it’s likely impossible.
He’s used to making short term moves to drive up stock price, but there’s no Twitter stock price now.
He has no idea what to do, and his ego is too big to admit he’s wrong.
The advantage of the kites they demonstrate here is that they leave the deck of the boat much more free for cargo than traditional sails. There have been a few 'low footprint' wind power startups for shipping but from the purely financial perspective the lost cargo volume has never yet been worth the fuel savings. Using a kite that consumes no cargo capacity could actually help an eco-technology be adopted by these shipping companies if it helps their bottom line.
I believe they changed how they payout to streamers, essentially cutting their income by around 25% and then keeping it for themselves. Also stricter rules on sponsorships and how they are advertised on your stream. I don’t really know the details I don’t use twitch just what I remember reading.
Therefore any company that puts out notices or alerts via Twitter should immediately exit the platform. Running their own server on mastodon would be a better bet
Typically, automating or paying someone to manually push out updates to as many channels as possible is the most advantageous option. Realistically, having a website, an associated RSS feed option, Twitter, something like a Mastodon account somewhere, and a text update option would probably cover most of the bases.
In theory yes (or at least, it works the other way), in practice seems janky. Fediverse has seen some insane expansion recently and I’d hope there’s some talented devs in amongst the influx, so they should get it working at some point.
