>Around 180,000 people in the U.S. were paying for subscriptions to Twitter, including Twitter Blue, as of mid-January, or less than 0.2% of monthly active users, according to a document viewed by The Information. The tiny number signals the challenge Elon Musk faces in turning the subscription product into a major source of revenue.

>The U.S. number is about 62% of Twitter’s global subscriber total, the document says, which implies Twitter has 290,000 global subscribers. Twitter is charging $8 a month for Blue Verified on the web and $11 a month for those who sign up via Apple’s iOS, although Apple keeps 30% of that fee.

Musk is worth 100 billion dollaridongos and OP is not and never will be a woman.

But in all seriousness are there people on this board who are literally too retarded to understand Musk wanted control of a major social media outlet so he could control the flow of news in his favor to force good PR and quash "disinfo" against himself that happened to be unfavorable?

For $44bn? Bezos bought WaPo for $250mn, the japs bought the FT for $900mn. Buying Twitter has brought him nothing but bad headlines and criticism that he’s taken his eye off Tesla.

well, we're never going to agree on the point that treating a disorder of the MIND with *permanent*, irreversible, physical alteration (and from what I've seen, in many cases, straight up mutilation) of the BODY that could end up causing even more psychological harm in the long run than good - or encouraging anyone to do - so in any way makes sense

Nope. It was just the most affordable major social media company and he wanted to make it more mass appeal. There is a lot of value to be created there, he was right. The timing is poor since all of tech and NASDAQ took a big dump.

He changed nothing apart from allowing a few milquetoast faggots like Sargon back on. It's still absolutely riddled with bots spamming scams 24/7, he reneged on his promise to unban everyone and the site is still shadowbanning people for going against the establishment.

I genuinely wander what his life is like on a day to day basis. He just seems to barrel into whichever company has his focus, fuck things up, generate headlines nonstop and cause headaches for the people doing the actual work. Then after a few months hes bored and his attention is elsewhere.

Memba when it was SpaceX and starship and he was doing 25 hour days because of hard his work schedule was?
