I can see contributing to content creators on YouTube. There's a lot of great content, and the creators deserve to be rewarded for their efforts. I've recently started following food prep videos, and I'm learning so much. That has value.
It's worth $4 billion 🤣 if you ask Musk
According to Elon Musk’s own math, the company formerly known as Twitter has lost 90% of its value and could be worth just $4 billion
Musk posted the bleak financial assessment as part of a rant against the ADL.
I know, right? Just look at Yahoo! I remember all those articles about how it was doomed in the early 2000's. Just look at it now! It's still standing!
I'll give him a single dollar for the company, and I making him a favour.It's worth $4 billion 🤣 if you ask Musk

Apple was doomed too, since we’re apparently throwing around irrelevant examples.
Social media platforms can increase prices all they like, I don’t use any of them and would be happy for them all to go to the wall. We got by without them before just fine.
The people who left by and large were garbage anyway. This isn’t to claim X is perfect, but the world is a better place without people like Ron Perlman blabbering their 75 IQ takes they got from their TV.
Space X
Tesla
Solar
Boring
Neuralink
Open AI
When it comes to business, he knows what he's doing, it seems.
Which means they are officially planning to put X behind the paywall.
Which is also a sign from Musk that he’s waiving the white flag on trying to earn cash through ads (because advertisers have left or are buying less ad time, and those that left, aren’t coming back)
Everyone will switch to Bluesky or Mastodon instances at that point.

I think X has potential to be a cool app if it pivots away from Twitter.
What I mean is, Twitter should be to X what Instagram is to Facebook. Separate but related.
X should be more though - real name or phone number verified only, integrate payments, shopping, games and services.
Elon said he wanted an “everything app”. X in its current state is simply the charred remains of Twitter with a minuscule amount of greenery poking through. Possibly weeds lol.
I wouldn't even pay for Twitter. And Twitter was vastly better than X.
A man that blocked internet access for our democratic ally in a hot war is free to do anything he wants and we even pay him.
Remarkable.
Remarkable.
SpaceX: Yes, this is his baby. I hope you are comfortable with Elon cluttering the Earth's orbit (over 50% of the satellites are his) and for having the power to influence the outcome of Ukraine invasion.
Tesla: Contrary to popular opinion, Elon isn't responsible for starting Tesla, but he was an early investor and board member, and largely responsible for getting over $100B in venture capital fundings. But the technology and vision behind Tesla are largely the works of other Tesla employees and management.
SolarCity: This is a company found by Elon's cousins. Elon's involvement is merely consultation, and when the company was in financial trouble, Elon led Tesla to acquire the company.
The Boring Company: Yes, this is his baby, and not a very good one. His projects to date are designed for affordability in mind and lacks required safety features and other practical needs.
Neuralink: Yes, this is his baby, but it is largely criticized as all hype, no substance -- akin to Elizabeth Holmes's Theranos.
OpenAI: Elon was an early investors ($50M) and a board member. He didn't get along with their management and other board members and was effectively kicked out 3 years later.
I paid for a polka dot check mark that says I do not have a Twitter account, and have the Twitter domain blocked at my DNS.
X is the beginning of the end. It’ll be renamed Y, then Z, then zzz and die in its sleep. It’ll be remembered as so-so social network XYZ 😊
Social network X, previously known as Twitter, may soon offer more than one subscription tier. Code in the app suggests that the Premium offering could be split into three, including Premium Basic, Premium Standard, and Premium Plus.
Premium basic lists "full ads" in the For You feed, while Premium Standard says it has "half ads" in For You. Premium Plus says there will be no ads in For You. Given the specific mention of the For You feed, it sounds like all of the tiers will continue to have ads in replies. Revenue from reply ads is used for paying content creators on the social network.
At the current time, a Premium subscription is priced at $8 per month or $84 per year, and there is no word yet on what the new tiers might be priced at. There are also no other details on the differences between the plans or launch information.

The sooner X/Twitter dies the better. Musk is worse than Trump.
Because every dumpster fire needs tiers.
