Twitter is finally profitable after elon musk bankrolls like 20 million twitter blue subscriptions. In the end, only the idiots pay for their own blue.

when launching a major product, i can't stress enough how important it is for the most vocal and influential users of your platform to react with a scream of horror if you give it to them gratis.

it is critically important that they treat your major revenue driver as a hideous disfigurement

This is very clearly a hamfisted solution to the mass-blocking twitter blue trend. How bad must the blocks have been getting for him to slap blue onto a bunch of celebrity accounts?

Elon is so mad about block the blue that he's going to move all the legacy checkmarks over to the new Twitter badge so you can't block everyone without blocking dril and Charlie Sheen.

elon is basically the "idea guy" from any gaming or mmo forum that "doesn't code or anything but sits around coming up with great ideas"

accounts from his other companies have made clear there's always a lot of people around him that herd him around showing him what he wants to see and also insulating the actual competent people from his great ideas (more or less) because we see what happens when his great ideas coming in contact with reality

the problem with twitter is the protective ablative layer of elon whisperers wasn't in place. everyone with a lick of sense bailed except the sycophants and the h1bs who couldn't find something else so this is an Idea Guy who has never been told no in his life firing everyone who tells him his Ideas are bad and demanding things be implemented in a hardcore way then soyfacing when his Great Ideas encounter reality

it owns
