Didn’t see this coming, but I’m all about taxing the rich

Twitter will charge for a blue checkmark
$20 a month (or $5?)


Did every blue check just turn white?

Whoa blue checks are losing it.  This is their 9/11


I am almost thinking this is a cruel joke that Elon is playing on people and the blue checkmarks walked right into it

I’ve never been interested in Twitter before but now that’s it’s an oligarchy and people can (properly) buy their way to legitimacy on it, I’m intrigued. We need to make sure it amplifies luxurious voices as God intended.

"Crowd-sourcing his corporate strategy" is way more euphemistic than I would be about what he's doing which is throwing some random ideas at the wall and seeing which sticks.

I have, although no deep dive
looks like chris murphy is looking into it

https://www.axios.com/2022/10/31/chris-murphy-twitter-elon-musk-saudi-arabia


TIL  Saudi Arabia, which has the eighth most Twitter users of any country in the world !
I for some reason thought they weren't even allowed to use it...is that Iran?


By the numbers: Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, founder and chairman of the Kingdom Holding Company, said the company would continue its ownership of Twitter shares valued at $1.89 billion after Musk completed the deal, making it Twitter's second largest investor.

I mean, they are the 2nd largest...but they only control less than 5%, so really don't 'control the company' by any means Im aware of
