Nearly 25,000 Twitter users pay to subscribe to Elon Musk's exclusive tweets
- NickC25 4y agoThat's....sad. People pay $4 a month to view the childish ramblings of some egotistical billionaire. His opinion isn't worth any more than yours, mine, or anyone else's. It's not like he's doing groundbreaking STEM research or offering deep, insightful commentary on the politician or economic problems of the day...he's just some weirdo that happens to be the 2nd richest person on the planet and he's posting dumb memes and stuff.
