@hunterwalk @pmarca Don’t eat the hot dog in the press box! — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@semaforben Indeed! — PolitiTweet.org

@hunterwalk Get a grip! Next thing you’re going to tell me that Twitter’s new owner is going to spend time slagging his own workforce on Twitter. — PolitiTweet.org

@jeremymbarr @KateAurthur This is a confusing story? — PolitiTweet.org

ALSO NEW POD: “It felt like they weren’t really sure what was wrong or what they should be doing,” Bloomberg’s @Lucas_Shaw on Netflix hitting the wall. https://t.co/4GOin87m4f https://t.co/WcvfVKoFdx — PolitiTweet.org

NEW POD: “Absurdity feels like the point of a lot of things lately.” @cwarzel, summing up Elon Twitter and life in general. Before we get there, we go through Charlie’s excellent exploration of three possible Elon Timelines: https://t.co/AT0FMkWOk1 https://t.co/4GOin87m4f — PolitiTweet.org

Spotify lost ~ 2 million subscribers by pulling out of Russia. (Netflix lost 700k) — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

RT @ShiraOvide: @pkafka I wonder if the tendency to compare Spotify to Netflix has anything to do with Spotify's former CFO who constantly… — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Spotify hit its Q1 #s. CEO Daniel Ek tells me he didn’t see any impact from Joe Rogan/Neil Young fight (Remember? That was this year). Also no sign of whatever malaise is plaguing Netflix. “I feel like a lot of people make more of a comparison with Netflix than it ought to be.” — PolitiTweet.org

@alexeheath For sure. And she gets paid very well for the work. Just sayin. — PolitiTweet.org

Vijaya Gadde “played a leading role in negotiating the deal between Twitter and Musk,” who wants to fire her. https://t.co/jPNgttw0Iz — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@AndrewKerrNC Actually $1.3b on R&D, but what’s $500m? Anyway it’s mostly to pay engineers, who are expensive. Also the real operating margin is closer to 5%. But if the real point is “they’re no Facebook or google, which print money” then yes, agreed. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@goldman Plenty more where that came from: “People have asked me, say, a Mars society, what are my recommendations for that,” he mused.” https://t.co/iIDI67QR0M — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Time magazine knows Elon Musk - they named him Person of the Year last year and he came to their party - and you don’t so listen up: “He’s a genius who uses the incredible force of his will to mobilize resources to pursue his ideas.” https://t.co/wnMboIhUvo — PolitiTweet.org

@davidr They gave no fucks - they were dumping this on discovery. (In theory they should care because their investors will still own part of the newco but…) — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

The bigger picture is that CNN+ was supposed to provide an “off ramp” for CNN viewers/subscribers as regular CNN declined. But that would only work if old CNN viewers replaced their cable bundle with a new streaming bundle. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

How CNN sold CNN+ to its old owners: “CNN+ could one day attract nearly 30 million global subscriptions from a total addressable market of roughly 72 million people.” — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Discovery going out of its way to argue that AT&T and WarnerMedia made a mess and they’re gonna fix it. It’s their right to say that, because they bought it (last regime said same). Can also use that argument for a while to explain future setbacks. — PolitiTweet.org

@sherman4949 Jason who? — PolitiTweet.org
