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.
Musk, who also is CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has said X/Twitter ad sales have plunged 50% since he bought the company. “We’re still negative cash flow, due to ~50% drop in advertising revenue plus heavy debt load,” Musk posted on July 15.
I want to charge Musk every time he makes another asshole announcement about running one of his companies into the ground. Just fuck off, dude.
If you had a nickel for every time musk edged a promising platform closer to worthlessness and destruction you’d have a mother fucking shit ton of nickels.
Like… a cavalry charge? Infantry? Rhinocerii?
I had been thinking “charge” in the financial sense, but now that you mention it, a bunch of rhinos would be much more entertaining!
