[1]
At 2.34 in the night
[3]
Elon musks tweet one tweet.
[4]
In that, he wrote that,
[5]
Free speech is essential to a functioning democracy.
[7]
Do you believe Twitter rigorously adheres to this principle?
[10]
After that, he tweets one following tweet.
[12]
The consequences of this poll will be important.
[14]
Please vote carefully.
[15]
For which 2 million people voted No.
[17]
Who knew in this one tweet there are so many secrets hidden.
[19]
In this, there are such unsaid things,
[21]
Which are not known by many people.
[23]
After a few days of Elon musk's tweet
[25]
There comes news,
[25]
Elon musk with a 9.2% stake
[28]
Is now the largest shareholder of Twitter.
[30]
And then on 14 April 2022,
[31]
Elon musk does an announcement
[32]
That he wants to acquire Twitter for 43 Billion dollars.
[35]
Now, the question is
[37]
Why does he want to buy Twitter?
[39]
And most importantly,
[40]
Twitter from this forceful acquisition
[41]
To save themselves what are they doing?
[43]
Is all this just for Freedom of speech?
[45]
Or the way he acquired tesla,
[47]
And revolutionalized it
[48]
The same thing he wants to do with Twitter.
[50]
Or behind all this,
[51]
There are some secrets hidden
[52]
That is not known by anyone.
[54]
So this story starts in 2006,
[55]
When Jack Dorsey got the idea of SMS based platform.
[58]
With this idea,
[60]
ODEO which was an audio podcasting platform
[62]
Meets its co-founder Evan Williams.
[64]
When Evan heard this idea,
[65]
He gives Jack the idea of refining it more.
[68]
Jack works a bit more on this idea,
[70]
And finally makes a small product.
[72]
Today we all know it as "Twitter".
[75]
When Twitter started at that time Facebook & Myspace
[78]
These two players were dominating the market.
[80]
At that did anyone ever thought in their dreams,
[82]
Such a platform without photos or video
[84]
You can upload anything except 140 characters text message
[87]
It will become so huge one day.
[89]
But many people don't know that
[91]
On Twitter, there are some things hidden
[93]
Because of this today it is a huge platform
[95]
That Elon Musk wants to acquire it.
[97]
Twitter started with a simple website.
[100]
Who knew that one day this website,
[101]
For celebrities, Politicians and entrepreneurs
[104]
Will be so important for them.
[105]
Many of us don't understand the power of websites.
[108]
Well, the reality is,
[109]
Websites get you started in your online journey.
[111]
Amazon, Flipkart , Swiggy , Zomato
[113]
And in fact Twitter
[114]
All these billion-dollar businesses
[115]
Started with a simple idea and a simple website.
[118]
If you want to take your business online,
[120]
Then you just need 3 things.
[122]
One website, One web developer, and hosting.
[124]
Hosting where all your website's data is stored.
[127]
That you can get on many websites.
[129]
But if you want the best,
[130]
Then I would suggest "Hostinger".
[132]
Hostinger has many benefits.
[133]
You can get hosting in quality & affordable pricing.
[136]
Along with you get a free domain name.
[138]
Which if you will purchase from any other website,
[141]
Then you need to buy a domain name separately.
[143]
And you know what the best part is,
[144]
On this hostinger, you can get many website building options
[147]
And a 30-day free trial.
[148]

[150]
You can cancel your hosting.
[151]
If you don't like their service.
[153]
Plus moreover,
[153]
If you are doing a business,
[154]

[156]

[158]
So Hostinger provides all these things.

[166]
I have mentioned the link in the description & comment box.
[169]
On 25th March when Elon musk tweeted,
[171]
Then reply Twitter said that,
[172]
"Twitter has absolute freedom for speech".
[175]
Well,
[175]
That's not true.
[176]
20th March 2022,
[178]
Twitter locked an account named Babylon Bee.
[180]
Saying they have violated Twitter rules.
[183]
Well actually Babylon's Bee
[184]
Called the US assistant secretary a Man of the year in a tweet.
[188]
After which Twitter locks his account.
[189]
And until they don't delete the tweet,
[191]
They cannot do another tweet.
[193]
In fact US former president Donald trump
[195]
Is banned on Twitter.
[197]
In these things, Elon musk says that,
[199]
He is a free speech absolute.
[201]
But the question is,
[203]
Is it true?
[204]
Elon musks own company, Tesla,
[206]
Is fighting discrimination-based lawsuits.
[207]
And one Tesla employee
[209]
Who uploaded their car review video on Youtube
[211]
He was fired the same month.
[212]
similarly, if you see the company's stock price,
[214]
Then ever since the company has become public,
[216]
The company's stock has hardly touched 50$.
[218]
Twitter's business is not going that well.
[220]
And moreover,
[221]
Twitter is such a social media platform,
[223]
Which had comparatively than other social media platforms
[226]
There were very less people.
[227]
Now the question is,
[228]
If it is like this, then why does Elon musk want Twitter?
[231]
For money?
[232]
But the person who already has 250 Billion dollars networth
[235]
I don't think so for him matters so much.
[237]
So what is the real reason?
[239]
Well, Understand this thing very carefully.
[241]
April 2007,
[243]
Barack Obama joins Twitter.
[244]
And during his full presential election time
[246]
Very aggressively through text broadcasting
[249]
Influence people.
[250]
If you see in India,
[251]
Our prime minister Mr.Narendra Modi
[254]
Does this same thing.
[255]
Have you ever thought,
[256]
All these people,
[257]
May be active on other social media or not,
[259]
But all these people,
[260]
Why are they aggressively active on Twitter?
[263]
Well, the answer is hidden in a 2009 research paper.
[266]
So the answer to this thing is,
[267]
"Social capital".
[268]
Now listen to me very very carefully.
[270]
If you watch youtube regularly,
[272]
Then you must have definitely seen this person.
[274]
Joginder has 11.4 lakh subscribers.
[276]
And on every video average views of 20 lakhs
[279]
Everyone would think,
[280]
What a fantastic influence!
[281]
And this is where 99% of people are wrong.
[284]
In Influence and capitalizable influence
[287]
Has a big difference.
[289]
Capitalizable is that audience
[290]
With which you can generate revenue.
[292]
And here I am not talking about ad revenue.
[295]
No hate,
[295]
Do you think tomorrow if Joginder promotes any product
[298]
Then will you buy that product?
[300]
Well, chances are No.
[302]
But similarly, if the same thing is told by Lakshay Chaudhary
[305]
Then there are very high chances,
[306]
That you buy that product.
[307]
And Lakshay will make lakhs of rupees.
[309]
The audience of both people is the same.
[311]
But there is a vast difference between the results.
[314]
So it does not matter,
[315]
How much audience do you have?
[317]
It matters that,
[318]
How much capitalizable audience do you have?
[320]
And this is where the twist is.
[322]
Elon musk
[323]
Has 8 crores 30 lakh capitalizable audience on Twitter
[326]
I know you must be thinking that,
[328]
Tomorrow if Elon musk tweets anything about Tesla,
[331]
Then 8 crore people won't buy Tesla.
[333]
Yes absolutely right.
[334]
They won't buy.
[335]
But 8 crore people are more than enough
[337]
To create hype about anything in this world.
[340]
And if you will closely observe,
[342]
Elon Musk's every tweet is retweeted lakhs of times.
[344]
Because of this, his total reach is more than 40 crore people
[348]
By Dogecoin tweet, its value increased up to 25% in a day.
[351]
Due to the Bitcoin tweet,
[352]
In one day the bitcoin was 17% down.
[355]
And not only this,
[356]
Because of his one tweet,
[357]
$250 20,000 Tesla tequila bottles were sold.
[359]
And this is the power of social capital.
[361]
And because Twitter is a prime social network for world leaders
[364]
So for Elon musk their Twitter account,
[366]
Is more valuable than Instagram or Facebook account.
[369]
But this story has a different side.
[371]
That is the fight for democracy.
[373]
David sacks who used to work with Elon musk in Paypal
[376]
Says that,
[377]
Elon Musk always supports free speech.
[380]
And everyone knows this.
[382]
In nondemocratic countries
[383]
How companies have to work under threat.
[386]
Somewhere businessman is killed.
[387]
And somewhere businessman stays hidden for months.
[390]
Elon Musk says that,
[392]
Twitter undermines democracy.
[393]
And because until now, no one knows this,
[395]
How twitters algorithm works?
[397]
So no one understood
[398]
Which tweets are promoted forward?
[401]
And which tweets shouldn't be promoted by Twitter?
[403]
And by changing this thing,
[405]
They want to make the Twitter algorithm an open-source.
[407]
And want to convert twitter into a war zone.
[409]
Where there are no rules.
[411]
Anyone can say what they want to say.
[413]
Interestingly, very few people know that,
[415]
Twitter founder Jack Dorsey openly said that,
[417]
Twitter is for sale.
[419]
Twitter for always for sale.
[421]
I know you must be thinking,
[422]
If it is like that
[423]
Then why is Elon musk not able to acquire Twitter?
[425]
Well, the reason is "The poison pill strategy".
[428]
Poison pill strategy in 1982,
[430]
Was made by a lawyer named Martin lipton.
[432]
If anyone forcefully tries to acquire any company
[435]
Then that company should protect itself.
[437]
This year at January's end,
[438]
Elon musk secretly starts acquiring Twitter shares.
[441]
And finally on 10 April
[442]
Everyone in the world knows that,
[444]
Elon musk with a 9.2% stake
[446]
Becomes Twitter's largest shareholder.
[448]
14 April 2022,
[450]
Elon musk buys Twitter $45 share at $54
[454]
Gives a buyout proposal of buying whole company at $43 billion
[458]
And seeing this, company to save themselves from this
[459]
Uses a poison pill strategy.
[461]
So according to this strategy,
[462]
If anyone tries to acquire more than 15% stakes
[466]
Then leaving that shareholder,
[467]
The remaining shareholders,
[468]
Company shares,
[469]
Will get to buy at a 50% bonus discount rate.
[472]
Today in Twitter market there is a total of 763.58 Million shares.
[476]
Among which 73 Million shares,
[478]
Belong to Elon musk.
[479]
So consider that if this strategy gets activated
[481]
Then from Elon musk's total shares
[483]
The remaining are a total of 690 million shares.
[486]
Now those who have these 690 million shares,
[488]
They all will get 1 is to 1 bonus.
[490]
This means the one who already has a share,
[492]
By splitting that share he will now have two shares.
[495]
When this will happen,
[497]
690 million + 690 million + Elon musk's 70 million shares
[500]
In total there will be 1450 million shares.
[503]
Because of this Elon musks' 9.2% stake
[506]
Will become 5%.
[507]
So today even if he tries,
[509]
Then too he can't acquire Twitter.
[510]
And even if he tries to do this
[512]
Then he may suffer huge losses.
[514]
I know you must be thinking that,
[515]
If Twitter was always for sale,
[517]
So today if someone wants to buy it
[519]
Then why is this company protecting itself?
[520]
Well, the reason is "Impact potential".
[523]
Revenue and stock price may increase or not
[525]
But the speed at which Twitter's impact is growing,
[527]
Twitter's shareholders think that,
[529]
Its futuristic value of it,
[531]
Is more than what Elon musk has offered.
[535]
And moreover,
[536]
Because is a platform that has the world's many great leaders,
[539]
So noon among them would want that,
[540]
This platforms ownership goes to someone,
[543]
Because of whose, one tweet full crypto market gets changed.
[545]
Seriously, Today we are seeing the power of the internet.
[548]
From our business to our life,
[550]
Today everything is on the internet.
[552]
And yes if your business is not digital yet,
[554]
Then you should also create your website,
[556]
Take it to digital.
[557]
From domain name to hosting,
[558]
If you want everything at the best quality & best price.
[561]
Then I mentioned Hostinger's link in the description.
[564]
And don't forget to use my coupon code "ADITYA".
[566]
With which you can get a 7% discount.
[568]
Very few people among us know that,
[570]
The beginning of Cadbury did not start with chocolate.
[573]
Interestingly do you know the first product of Cadbury
[575]
Was made to get rid of the addiction to alcohol.
[578]
Have you ever thought
[579]
What special thing does Cadbury have because of which
[582]
It has India's 70% market share.
[585]
Well, if you see the video on right you will get to know.
