Twitter: The Elon Channel and Thermonuclear Name & Shame

Techstream with Shelly Palmer and Seth Everett - A podcast by Underdog Podcasts

Categories:

Last week, we talked about the future of Twitter under Elon Musk. Between the time we recorded and released the episode, it was already (wildly) out of date. Twitter's rules and standards around verification have totally changed, more advertisers have paused their campaigns on the platform, and hundreds of Twitter employees have been fired. Is Twitter going away? We've asked that question about TikTok a number of times on this podcast, but now the question pivots to Elon Musk's new company. Today's episode centers around the value of being verified (and what the “new” verification status really means), the paths to profitability for Twitter, and the viability of Twitter alternatives.
