If Apple takes 30%, Elon needs to sell 14 million checkmarks to make payments on the debt.
- CharlesW 4y agoA Twitter spokesperson said they have 238 million mDAU (monetizable daily active Twitter users) as of Q2'2022. That'd be a conversion rate of 6% — not impossible.

- LinuxBender 4y agoI'm not a business expert but in my opinion Twitter would have to offer more compelling services that people would feel inclined to sign up for. A checkmark alone will just get the people that value the checkmark and a 50% reduction in ads. When anyone can get a blue checkmark it will lose some its perceived value. Perhaps there should be a poll to see how many find the checkmark compelling enough alone to subscribe.

- CharlesW 4y agoThe small "m" is supposed to mean monetizable (i.e. real) users, but yes — if that's incorrect, then Elon is absolutely screwed.
