I've never seen anybody pay so much money to acquire and then ruin a company. The only major misstep Elon has left is getting rid of Twitter porn. If he does that,

    I think he’s just trying to scare people so that the $8 twitter blue doesn’t seem so bad.

    Elon likes the late night twitter porn. He enjoys watch his sisters content.

    I can live without it but in these economic times I don’t think the masses will pay to use an App owned by a billionaire, that was previously free

    Maybe that was the whole plan. Musty is a snowpossum playing both sides of White Supremacy. Folks gotta know everything they do are using everything we do and say to learn what we will and won't tolerate and our reactions, regardless of race and political backgrounds.

    I agree! It's not that serious for me. I'm not about to give a billionaire who was so stupid to pay for a company for more than It's worth, my money. Some genius...SMH!

    He created hyperloop to get a state government to stop investing in a train system. He’s devious so if he is saying he is charging for subscription believe the goal is something different.

    The Democrats convinced Twitter advertisers/big corporations to suspend their advertising with Twitter because (they said) Elon wouldn’t guarantee impartial news coverage of Democrat political candidates before the election. He lost big revenue from that. He’s a business man so he’ll do things to make up for that.

    I was listening to a Twitter Space full of recently laid off or soon to be laid off Twitter tech people. It was very interesting and recorded if you want to go listen.

    Idk why he would consider ending Spaces other than not wanting to pay for the software but I think if he keeps it he’ll figure a way to generate revenue from it. Also, someone suggested different color checks for certain people. I gotta feeling this $8 blue check money grab is the beginning

    What if he actually does want to ruin the platform because he hated it so much, just a theory, but it's plausible, because he has never really liked Twitter all that much.

    The Liberal outrage we're seeing over Twitter is ridiculous. Every day brings a new existential crisis to the platform. Now is Elon causing a ruckus? I wouldn't doubt it. Are we seeing the last days of Twitter? Not at all.
