Regardless of i might think of elon musk i kind of want him to succeed with X because i would like to see a social media platform make the users pay to fund the service. If you add this kind of payment to the website you actually make the service less beholden to ad revenue so you do not have to worry as much about their sensibilities. If the subscription fee gets big enough i think the company would become beholden to the users and hopefully serve their needs more than the advertisers (maybe my wishful thinking).
