This would be a laudable direction to take the company towards ... ... if he didn't start by putting $12.5 billions of debt on the balance sheet after the buyout. Which means that Twitter has to pay $1 billion of interest each year which it didn't have to do before that hostile takeover. How many people would need to buy Twitter Blue to offset the interest alone? ~~125 million users which is about a third of its whole active user base~~ 10 million which is about 3% of their active user base (I can't do maths, thanks supermatt, luckily I'm good looking and can program).
