Pretty succinct for a guy who wants to have hour long videos and character limits in the thousands on Twitter

Your post made me think more about the hour long videos. One possible business model he might have in mind is porn. Twitter + payment system + hour long videos might be a compelling alternative to OnlyFans. Not sure what his investors will think about it, however.

And if he hadn't fired all the people at twitter that might of actually been able to make those sort of changes needed on twitters back end to make it work, this could of been a decent plan.

Anything so much as approaching sex work apparently has major hurdles it has to surmount to fly legally with financial bodies, and Elon has neither the skills nor the legal specialists to navigate those waters.

So you're probably completely correct. :v:

Aren't websites that financialize porn content heavily regulated? I'm pretty sure that only fans almost gave up on adult content entirely because of banks putting the squeeze on them

Yeah... Twitter isn't where I go looking for porn, but every once and a while I read a non-sex related post by a sex worker then click on their profile and then I remember, "Oh yeah, you can have porn on Twitter."

True dat. I'm not sure it would work out. It would take some clever branding. However, at least it's an idea that would generate enough non-ad based revenue to allow Twitter to survive if it was executed successfully.

Can the super rich not pay to make themselves good looking yet? Maybe they can but need a better foundation than Musk to achieve it.

Sincerely disagree - and not to protect Gates or Musk’s feelings or dignity.

Can’t we just shame them for their countless moral and ethical shortcomings, rather than for being too pale or overweight? Creating a culture where kids/adolescents aren’t body-shamed is probably easier when we don’t have exceptions for billionaires or conservative politicians.
Just wanted to let you know I agree with you 100%, but you’re not the going to find much agreement here among armchair internet “leftists.”

It's not banks, but Mastercard and Visa. There's been a Christian war on porn going on for years, and the most visible effects have been SOSTA/FESTA and when they get Mastercard and Visa on board. It happened with Pornhub, and almost happened with OnlyFans, too.

A quick search turned up this article which seems to hit most of the high points:

I tend to see body shaming of guys like musk and trump as a boomerish, outdated thing. Like something older, kinda overweight libs would do.
