This is great! It’s like modern poetry. I think the research suggests less words per line make it faster reading too.

Not really, even the it still does recommended tweets and I don’t want to see retweets or likes and you have to turn that off per person.

Fox News ad revenue is way lower than twitter and they are notorious for losing advertisers. Additionally I think they have a pretty narrow advertising base. I mean sure nothing to shake a stick at but not something you want to lean into

Maybe, though if there is anything Elon has underestimated so far it’s the extent to which rich people will fight him for money.

I can’t speak for anyone else but the person I responded to said, unqualified “ The blue check mark does not verify who you are. It verified your political ideology matched up with that of the blue check mark committee. ”

Well he already wasn’t listening to the employment lawyers since he fired the exec team for cause and took away their golden parachutes. He’ll be fighting those lawsuits for a while.

Does Musk often make the point he lives like this so he expects his employees to as well? I figured this was just setting expectations.

I can't help but feel like the blue check means more to the people who yearn for it than the people who have it. The phrase "anointed elite" just seems bitter to me. I wonder if there's something about the worldview ha
