   Musk is considering to straight up charge for using Twitter (now xXx). If true, it's amazing how this boy comes up with new ways to destroy company value every day.

     @kaia if I were to pay I would not want any ads or tracking on the site. tbh paying for a service is more ethical but it would probably kill the site

     @kaia @Moon yeah but being angry about that while not paying or self hosting a service is weird.
     
     moral highground is necessary. also paying customers have a direct lever for demands.
     
     honestly im not sure if twitter is doing bad.
     
     reddit did copy them for a reason with the API foo

     @grillchen @kaia they lost a massive amount of ad revenue in the western hemisphere, I think like over 50% because of a certain group's boycott

     @grillchen @kaia Musk has said it but maybe we don't believe he's trustworthy.

     @Moon @kaia lets say he has vested interests.
     
     "Musk admitted to his biographer Ashlee Vance that Hyperloop was all about trying to get legislators to cancel plans for high-speed rail in California—even though he had no plans to build it."
     
     since that story i stopped taking him for an honest asshole. he might be lying more often to the public than we are aware off.

     but yeah i mostly agree. though i think we mostly hear about bad billionaires. and i give mark cuban some slack for "Cost Plus Drugs". affordable medications seem to be a very important need in the US

     @kaia you say that but Google green bubbles, you underestimate how superficial normies are. They'll go to threads maybe but even that's dying and banned in the eu.
