Twitter really is the broadcasting social network for the intellectual elite, so in that way its an extremely important piece of society, however toxic it is right now. Because of that I absolutely agree that it's undervalued and under-utilised for what it's become.
Many many people on twitter would happily pay for it. It's not like Facebook where you have to rely on ads because 90% of users would never pay, and the ones who would you don't want to charge bcause you make $200+ per year off them.
I think Elon understand both these things because of the way he says it's become the defacto public square. It really has for thought leaders. But thought leaders are a completely different market to most social networks.
- hooande 4y agosnapchat has more monthly active users than twitter does. tiktok is over 2x as big as twitter, soon to be 3x. if an intelligent person wanted to own the public square, they would buy tiktok
