Twitter Is Dead: It's All 'X Corp' Now

• thesuperbigfrog 4y ago
  "In past texts and emails, Musk has described his goal for a “blockchain social media system that does both payments and short text messages/links like Twitter.” Users would have to pay to register a message on the blockchain. This would also include a massive database for all messages sent to the blockchain, and a 'Twitter-like app' to access that cloud-based database." So it's the 'en-shitification' of Twitter: Twitter + blockchain + payments = X where X is pay to use X and Elon makes tons of money from X.

  As so often, the most significant news stories get the least consideration on HN. Would definitely encourage resubmission or follow-up articles from business analysts, sometimes it takes several attempts to get people to recognize that the thing in the dark room has a trunk and large ears.
