Twitter's turnover is about one-twentieth of Facebook's; Twitter's market capitalization is about one-fifteenth of Facebook's. Compared with Facebook, Twitter has too much room for development. With Musk's blessing, it cannot be ruled out that Twitter is closer to Facebook in terms of turnover and market value, and this cycle does not have to be too long. In this way, the acquisition of Twitter will become a big deal with a huge premium space - inscription
Elon Reeve Musk, the world's richest man and CEO of Tesla, has made another explosive announcement: an agreement with social media platform Twitter to buy Twitter for $54.2 per share, for a total of about $44 billion. Twitter founder Jack Dorsey was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night, sending 6 tweets in a row to express his eager anticipation for Musk.
It's not surprising that the rich and wayward Musk bought Twitter because he likes to play Twitter; he also likes to drink Coca-Cola, and at the time of his acquisition of Twitter, he also promised to buy Coca-Cola. Becoming the world's richest man, with a bulging pocket, Musk likes to do more, and does not rule out that he will one day run for the US presidency in the future - if the US Constitution allows, Musk is eligible for election. Don't be shocked when the time comes, Musk likes to do the eyes of the earth's villagers and the global media around him.
Previously, Musk's two main companies, such as Tesla and Space X, were mainly engaged in the production and marketing of high-tech products, why did Musk suddenly look at Twitter, an Internet technology company engaged in American social networking and microblogging services?
This is a deal in which face and everything is won, and personal hobbies and business layout are perfectly combined. As we all know, Musk likes fame and fortune from his bones, likes hype, hopes to make his reputation bigger, make more traffic, become the focus of global attention, and transform fame and traffic into economic benefits through commercial operations. This is not difficult to explain that Musk often manipulates the topic, "the language is not surprising and endless", and some earth-shattering, crying ghosts and gods have come.
In The view of Gao Feirui, Musk is the world's best public figure at manipulating news topics, and there is no one. In front of Musk, whether it is the quality grade of manipulating the topic, or the sensational impact and energy effect, it is much lower than Musk. This is also one of the reasons why Musk has become one of the top stars in the world.
It is not difficult to see clearly, every time there is hype, Musk is running for money, which is part of his business layout. Under the hype of Musk's whimsical topic, Tesla has become, Space X has become, and Musk has changed from an unguarded, debt-laden poor ghost and joke to the world's richest man who can chase dreams and bragged bulls. With the blessing of huge traffic, Musk's business empire is becoming a huge magnetic field, and all aspects of resources - government, business, market, and finance - are continuously absorbed into this magnetic field and used for its own use. Tesla's development in China is a good example, the land is preferential, the tax is preferential, the bank loan is preferential - Musk does not have to pay anything, he came up with an idea and an empty shell, and the Tesla Shanghai Super Factory was built, put into production, and the operation was successful.
Huge traffic is the foundation on which Musk's business empire was built and developed, and it is also the basis for its future continuous development and gold. We can't predict how far Musk and his business empire will grow, but we can be sure that it is now on the fast track, no one can match it, and there is no other business that can stop Musk at this time. This also allows us to see the gap between Chinese entrepreneurs and American entrepreneurs. If there is one company and entrepreneur in China that can barely compete, it is Huawei and Ren Zhengfei, but there is a practical disadvantage that has to make us silent and heartbroken: compared with the young Musk, Ren Zhengfei's age is there - the United States suppresses Huawei, in fact, it does not want such enterprises and entrepreneurs in China.
Musk's acquisition of Twitter this time is nothing more than the two purposes of hype and making money. This event, in itself, is a big event, enough to attract global attention and media, help Musk to the peak of his personal reputation, and smoothly achieve drainage and monetization. Musk is the best entrepreneur who combines personal fame with business management, is the best image spokesperson for his own business, and every topic he speaks for tesla and Space X, the companies he runs, for its marketing and drawing various resources. Of course, Musk now has the ability to cope with this huge amount of money with ease. This matter, whether it is the promotion of the Twitter brand, or the Tesla and Space X brands, whether it is the market value of Twitter, or the market value of Tesla and the valuation of Space X, in the long run, can have a huge push-pull effect, even a nuclear fusion effect.
After the successful acquisition of Twitter, Twitter's image spokesperson is no longer the tepid Jack Dorsey, but the global popular Musk - these two people speak for Twitter, and their role is not the same. Musk, who loves to play social media and manipulate the topic, will not speak out on other platforms in the future, as long as he speaks on his own acre and three points, each voice can promote Twitter to become a huge drainage channel - of course, as a social media platform, Twitter can help Musk integrate resources, which is unattainable by other companies, and can help Musk be more like a fish, like a tiger.
From a business point of view, this move is very ambitious and the prospects are more attractive. Musk has a lot of interest in the internet. An important business of Space X is the StarLink program, which provides services for access to the Internet, and Musk is also fond of Internet virtual currencies. With the responsibility field of Twitter, Musk's Internet industry and dream can be down-to-earth and implemented - to open up the boundary between industry and the Internet, open up the upstream and downstream of the Internet industry, combine the high-tech real and the Internet virtual, the virtual reality is born, carry out strong integration, circle flow realization, is a business strategy and layout of Musk. This is an industrial development direction, which deserves our deep thinking and vigilance. If we want to develop high technology and develop the Internet, we have to learn from Musk and learn from his strategic thinking and tactical tactics.
Putting together two Internet companies of the same nature in the United States, Twitter and Facebook (Meta), it is not difficult to find that Musk's business vision of acquiring Twitter. Founded in March 2006, Twitter will have a turnover of $5.077 billion in 2021 and a current market capitalization of about $37 billion. Facebook (Meta) was founded in February 2004 and will have a market capitalization of about $537 billion in 2021. Twitter's turnover is about one-twentieth of Facebook's; Twitter's market capitalization is about one-fifteenth of Facebook's. Compared with Facebook, Twitter has too much room for development. With Musk's blessing, it cannot be ruled out that Twitter is closer to Facebook in terms of turnover and market value, and this cycle does not have to be too long. In this way, the acquisition of Twitter will become a big deal with a huge premium space - this is Musk's naked business plan.
Musk is a man who dares to think, say, and do anything. Now Musk is buying Twitter and preparing to buy Coca-Cola — which surprises us. But believe that in the future, even if Musk announces his candidacy for president of the United States, we should not be surprised and surprised. Because in Musk's dictionary of life, there may be nothing that dare not be thought of, nothing that is not dared to do, and nothing that cannot be done.
