“My greatest disappointment” Kara Swisher on Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover | DW News

DW News published this video item, entitled “”My greatest disappointment” Kara Swisher on Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover | DW News” – below is their description.

Kara Swisher is one of the most influential people in the US tech industry. In a conversation with DW’S bureau Chief Ines Pohl about Elon Musk’s recent Twitter takeover Swisher said, that the Tesla CEO is trying to ruin the social networking site’s valuation so he can buy it up for cheap “and then own the whole company from the banks that lent him $13 Billion.”

Swisher also said that employees left at Twitter after a recent slew of layoffs feel like hostages: Many of those who stayed are “on visas or they don’t have a choice…”.

If Musk continues to create an “unsteady platform” through his leadership “Apple and Google can throw him off the app store”, Swisher said. Which would limit user access to Twitter.

Her biggest advice is to not take Elon Musk seriously: ”He’s trying to call attention to the platform. He’s essentially committing a traffic accident every day in order to get people interested in him.”
