RIP twitter

quote:

Elon Musk may flip the switch to make X — the social network formerly known as Twitter — an entirely subscription-based platform.

Musk brought up the idea of charging all users of X/Twitter during a wide-ranging conversation focused on AI that featured Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday. “[We’re] moving to a small monthly payment for use of the X system,” Musk told Netanyahu, claiming that it is the only way to eliminate the problem of bots, as reported by Bloomberg’s Dave Lee.

Musk didn’t mention timing of his plan to charge X/Twitter users, nor did he say how much it would cost. According to Musk, X has 550 million monthly active users, who create 100 million-200 million posts daily on the social network.

He seems like he enjoys floating ideas that will totally kill the platforms. Didn't he suggest getting rid of the Block feature a few weeks ago?

Not ideal. But if it’s small enough I’m ok with it. It’s a better source of news than just about anything else out there. Except TD of course.

I’ve heard he is buying TD next and plans to do the same. Insane monetary possibilities.

I would be ok with it but they will have to offer more than what is currently there.

All the other platforms will eventually follow suit. Elon has paved the way in every industry he’s dabbled in. He was the original rocket startup based on reusability and lower costs to orbit. Now there are dozens of Aerospace startups attempting to copy him. He led the way in EVs, now every manufacturer on the planet is trying to play catch-up. Don’t see why this would be any different.
