Based on 9 Wall Street analysts offering 12 month price targets for Twitter in the last 3 months. The average price target is $50.60 with a high forecast of $54.20 and a low forecast of $42.00. The average price target represents a -5.77% change from the last price of $53.70. https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/twtr/forecast#:~:text=TWTR Stock 12 Months Forecast&text=Based on 9 Wall Street,the last price of %2453.70. That $8 is going to have to stretch.... Hahaha... Nice try That 12 month forecast Twitter stock was predicted on October 6th, 2022. Elon Musk officially purchased Twitter on October 27th, 2022... the day this thread was created and the last day Twitter stock was listed. Not sure anybody outside of Musk truly knows Twitters value at the moment. From your old link: Edited December 1, 2022 by acidhead 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's predicting three levels of forecast. None seem particularly attractive. With Elon's bad press concerning the takeover, I'd say the lower boundry is most likely. It can't be a drawcard for investors. ATs $8 will help though surely. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Kanye can start his own like the Florida man did. He has more actual money, probably doesn't have to fund raise. 1 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it even in Twitters best interest to remove bots? The majority of twitters revenue are from ads. And advertisers probably prefer to see a larger user base 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bots would boost this "viewer" count and increase revenue. So in a sense you can say unbanning people who say horrible things but have everyone and their brother looking at them, brings in more money to Twitter. 2 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How so? Musk never said he'd allow that anything goes. Incitement or actual threats of violence are illegal and West is acting like a nut job. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the problem is that Musk has been very unclear at where the red line in. The mere fact that he is basing his decisions on twitter polls means that his red line can be manipulated by someone with an agenda and bot accounts. 3 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been losing for quite some time. Losing money and infected by a pandemic of bots, you would have to have real vision and a plan for something bigger to buy it over market value. Maybe Elon does, a streak of genius and a smattering of childish ego too in his personality. 3 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine Twitter becoming an everything app like wechat and then combining it with Neuralink. The ability to send messages to each other just by thinking it (or advertisements directly into people's heads), buying/selling things with a thought, opening doors or operating machines, etc. It's a future that is happening and Musk wants to be the guy that takes us there. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I have been thinking too. I have listened to his talks about the everything app. Being a technogeek myself, it seems to me to be a very appealing idea, we all become wizards. Being a skeptical human, I see a downside too. Listening to a few hours of Elon's musings, I am captivated. He has a very enticing picture of a future world. I like him, don't trust him fully, but freely admit he is a visionary. He seems a little better at vision than implementation. A vision comes out of ones own head, making something happen in the world requires cooperation from other humans. It won't take long to find out if his ego has overestimated his ability for implementation. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
