He probably thinks 10 million people would pay $8 to vote on the poll again. Finally he found a way to make money!

I’m not sure doing a Blue-only poll would be a good idea because it’d just show how few of them there are

Of course the funniest outcome would be doing that poll and STILL losing

Ha! This policy will be the end of Twitter. Only Musk simps and far right weirdos who have been previously banned will sign up for the $8/month which means Twitter will rapidly move to cater to those two demographics. The simps will go along with whatever, but the far right crazies will start doxxing and harassing people they don't like which will kill any chance of getting advertisers back. That will just leave the Twitter Blue people which will be several orders of magnitude insufficient to service the $1B/year in debt payments.

Less than 24 hours after saying all future policy changes would be put to a poll, he's back to searching for random people saying whatever he wanted to do already and implementing it unilaterally. His brain is broken.

If he does limitting it to Twitter Blue users, it will be hilarious when only a couple of thosand people vote on it.

Musk runs the twitter Blue only poll and discovers fewer than 10,000 idiots paid for their checkmark. And suddenly the entire world sees how pathetic Blue is.

Will he realize a paid blue check only poll will reveal how few blue checks there are? Will he change the poll to simply show percentages but not vote totals? Will he make all polls on twitter conform to these new rules?

I feel like Musk's way to try and monetize Twitter is a bit like how Cartman tried to have his own amusement park. Slowly but surely, just by the way things in the real world works, he has to shape Twitter back to its former functioning state, in spite of his wishes to make it his plaything.

I mean it's that or completely burning it to the ground which I guess is more likely at this point lol

In a way though, this is peak Elon.

Too stupid to think of ideas on his own, he retreats from the public eye until a sycophant comes up with an idea he likes so he can steal it and move the goalposts

Okay, I never thought of him as a super genius 17D chess player, but I simply can't fathom the fact that he posted that poll without being 420% prepared to handle what to do during any result. I mean, what the gently caress, I would have staked big money on the "yes" being what he wanted all along as his idea of a tricky move, but the fact that he's apparently been caught completely flat-footed after the "yes" result is insane

It’s very simple, without blue you won’t be able to see results, so he can make up any old poo poo about the polls and ban anyone who corrects him.
