Haha, I meant it in a very metaphorical way, and ofcourse I meant it's pocket change for Musk and the company called Twitter, not "anybody".

Oh well then thats not good. Is it as bad as in Twitter though? If its much more manageable and better than currently, that might still be worth it. A big wrinkle in this alleged business plan scenario, nevertheless.

I think you're right. It's not very important to use twitter for a big majority. Doesn't impact day to day. But it's still massive among people in power, and it does have a good sizeable base of real people too. Technically Twitter could be used by people to create pressure campaigns on policy and real political power around important issues like health care and the wealth gap and wars. But that'll never happen. It will only create buzz and fights around hot button issues and never impact people in a real positive way for them to join.

Says a child who can't get past childish incentives. Making it free of spams and bots is what will make him look like the smartest in the room, dumdum.

Uh...I think it does, actually. I know China is very powerful and so is the US and the big superpowers, but it doesn't mean they can do spells. There's still steps. And steps aren't easy like spells.

Yes. I think people feel have expectations with Elon, that he can make it a truly great public square type social media. Its a historical challenge and it's interesting to watch a historical man of culture taking it on.

And make way for another Facebook.

Its not about the amount of money alone, but if the payment systems are authentic, i.e. credit cards etc, then it would be mighty hard if not impossible to create thousands and millions of new IDs, just because the credit card system is hard to fake on such a scale.
