Bring in new features. Pre-Musk twitter only brought one new feature per year. Reduce bots, spam. Make sure that verified users are not able to change their usernames anyhow they want (currently you will find hundreds of elon musk verified accounts). Improve twitter mobile app (less bloat unlike reddit app) Use crypto payments to pay for twitter blue. Crypto payments meaning not only BTC and Dogecoin but privacy coins like Monero, Dash, Zcash etc. Have Twitter Blue Pro, so that users will get no ads (currently twitter blue gets half ads), first access to new features, something like substack articles where twitter blue pro users will be able to read blogs created by twitter users (tiwtter is a 'micro-blogging' platform afterall) etc. Bring new features which are aggregated from other apps like (this point is not that good) a.) Unlimited video upload- youtube b.) Stories-Instagram c.) Short videos- tiktok d.) Threads-Reddit etc Reduce excessive tracking of users on its site and app. Try to attract non-english, non-western users. Most non-english audience does not even know/care about twitter. They are all on whatsapp, youtube, tiktok etc. Have NSFW, gambling and generally immoral stuff promotion to earn money on the sidelines. (The NSFW stuff will be opt-in by default to make sure that twitter is 'family friendly) P2P transfer of fund from users to content creators on twitter itself like Patreon, Brave BAT twitter tipping etc. Twitter will get like 5% cut from the tips. Have alternative payment methods like UPI (india), SEPA (europe) and not only card payment via stripe.

spam is maybe bad, bots are not categorically bad. I like the idea of an automated feed like Google News which is algorithmically generated to show me news or new things, I dont call it a "bot" in a pejorative way just because its automated. Bots making comments on threads, on the other hand is annoying, but as they get more sophisticated we won't be able to weed this content out. You might say, as a facile take, just only allow verified accounts, but a real account can very reasonably post content that was generated in an automated way. We won't be able to tell the difference.

  Bots in this context are always referred to bad bots. Like just go on twitter and type 'Metamask, need help' and see 100 replies to your tweet within few minutes. There are also good bots on twitter, reddit, telegram, but the context in which we are discussing bots while naturally refer to scam bots along with useless spam bot.
