What's this?

Say what you will about musk, it’s going to be interesting

to watch this play out. The most popular Twitter accounts provide a lot of value to the Twitter platform by drawing in users and promoting active use. You could argue the top accounts provide more value to Twitter as an advertising platform than Twitter provides to the owners of the top accounts. Will be interesting to watch this balance of power play out and see who wins. My guess is at $8 per month, the Twitter account holders blink first.

All that said, I don’t understand why libs bother getting worked up over what musk does, and I certainly don’t understand why people like LA Hoo and Rusty act like giddy tween girls fawning over musk’s moves. That’s even more pathetic.
