For the longest while, Adobe charged Canadians in USD despite having an entirely Canadian version of the site etc. It meant that the price of the software varied each month!

It's almost expected with Elon owning X. The platform may really have the ability to challenge Youtube for live video things. The infrastructure and dev capability is there. It may well reach the value that he paid for it....
