So "X" - nothing to see here. Elon's in control - Part XXX

Twitter has never been more fun than it has been in the last few days.

Yeah, but Panti Bliss wouldn't get to advertise his shows and himself on Netfix for €20 a month.

Charge for a custom avatar, pretty standard on other sites.

Surprised Musk didnt just bring in a golden check mark at $100 a month. His fanbase would lap it up while he can let the common folk slum it with the blue check.

They paid 4.99/ month already. Twitter will still be responsible for what is posted if they do not take it down fast if told it is incorrect. They will still be GDPR

Lettuce pray.

Most businesses people that fail at a project is because they left there ego get in the way. They think they are too big to fail. They get involved in a company or business they have no understanding of.

You only have to look at Dr Sir Tony O'Reilly and Waterford Glass. Sean Quinn and Anglo. While Irish independent did not break Denis O'Brien, it definitely chastened him.

Musk is reacting like he needs this to succeed and fast. Nobody know what personnel commitment's/ guarantees he has given over other stock he owns.

Both Tesla and Starlink are probably under funded as well. While he loaded Twitter with 13 billion of debt it still left over 30 billion that had to found to fund the rest.

Did he have to come up with 10 billion of it, 5+ definitely. That is a lot of free cash to find especially when neither of your other two flagship companies pay dividends.

If he had to personally borrow 5 billion with the risk involved he is definitely paying 4+% or 200 million a year minimum in interest.

The 84 million a month is not his problem really. He will probably meet that target. Its the personal funding he had to come up with is the issue IMO

Go back and check the context. It was in response to a claim that Occupy Democrats are 'spreaders of division'. The only 'division' that I see them spreading is outing facists as facist. Beyond that, they do standard political commentary. Funny how you didn't rush in to claim that 'spreaders of division' was a meaningless abuse of words.

The naivety. Twitter has and always will be full of lies and misinformation, the left just got comfortable with a certain strain of it being cracked down on. You've simply got comfortable having things your own way, and now you fear that that's come to its end.

"When you're used to privilege equality feels like oppression", a quote loved by the left, yet more often than not it's applicable to themselves.
