Bringing "monetizable" to "monetized" is a completely different story. YT premium has only 50 million premium+music subscribers with much stronger contents and a more suitable format for monetization. And they only could bring roughly only 2% of YT users with very aggressive marketing. I would say the conversion rate would be closer to 0.2% for Twitter assuming the best scenario since it doesn't really have a content model and there's no incentive for good publishers to participate. This will give Elon precious ~$30M ARR at the cost of pissing advertisers off. Oh and don't forget that Elon still has to pay $1B just for annual interests. Perhaps they could turn @elonmusk to a protected account and offer paid $8 subscription per month for "super follow" or whatever. Maybe it's a better monetization model given Elon's significant influence to the crypto market... :sigh:
