I think because Elon and Co. are acting so dismissive and entitled. They're acting frickin weird. Admittedly I think who you think sounds more entitled depends on your worldview. I do think the journalist reactions are strange, but probably just because they're acting to something so strange. Elon is hardly describing a vision for this new version of twitter that people might be inspired to spend $8 for, yes something vague about plebs vs nobility, and half has many ads, but his biggest call to action has been "Hey we need the money". They're acting so shitty to everyone it's hardly a surprise people aren't fawning in confidence back. Plus I can't help but feel that these people are really just echoing what everyone else is thinking. Why am I paying $8 a month for Twitter?

> Elon is hardly describing a vision for this new version of twitter that people might be inspired to spend $8 for, yes something vague about plebs vs nobility, Yeah, Elon calls the status quo a “lords & peasants system” and says that to get out of that model Twitter should have a two-tier model where the paid users get special visual flair, algorithmic boosts in their tweets prominence and reach, and a reduced-ads feed experience compared to free users. And somehow doesn’t see the irony.
