Elon Musk is always innovating and sometimes it backfires. Since Musk took over Twitter, the microblogging platform has undergone several upgrades with mixed results. Recently, Musk announced Twitter would start charging users for reading articles so content creators can benefit.
In an attempt to bring something new to the platform, Elon Musk posted a video to check the compatibility of the live-streaming feature. This feature will broaden the list of features Twitter has added since being under Musk’s leadership. Unfortunately, the low resolution of the video has made Musk the butt of jokes.

Elon Musk Posts A Low-Quality Video On Twitter
Live from his San Francisco headquarters, it’s Elon Musk! The tech giant posted a short video to test the possibility of introducing a live-streaming feature to Twitter. Musk was amused to find out the feature “works”. However, the clip’s low resolution didn’t go unnoticed by Musk, who vowed to fix it.
The live streaming feature is written with the same code as Periscope. For the uninitiated, this app was used for video streaming and was brought by Twitter. It was disbanded in 2021 for its out-of-hand high maintenance costs. It looks like it will soon be back in commission.

The Internet is a cold and unforgiving place. Despite Musk acknowledging the shortcomings of the video, Twitter users started slamming him for having little to show for having spent a massive fortune to acquire Twitter. Due to the pixellated quality of the video, Musk is being called ‘8-Bit Elon’ in reference to the 8-bit video games.
All kinds of comments have started pouring in from the netizens about Musk’s latest snafu. A username Bark made a POV tweet about spending a massive fortune on an app with a mediocre live streaming service, saying, “POV: you spent 45 billion on this app.”
