Time to get off twitter and facebook.
It's a business Krystal, businesses have to make money.
The cost I'd pay to communicate w my base is a tax write off anyway so who cares
Those people deserve to be unemployed anyway. They influenced an election. They should be in jail
I think that Krystal has a fair take given her ignorance about Elon's long-game
Musk is a great strategist who still doesn't have the innards of twitter on his desk, so I would press on and see what happens then 👍
Great JOB Saagar show no fear to the Coward prince of saudi arabia
Well he does have a reputation for over-working and underpaying people so this makes sense.
Yeah, it sucks that Musk is letting these theocrats have a stake in Twitter, as it will likely result in a lot of censorship of Twitter in their countries.
How about don’t buy it and don’t use it
The US has 36 Million Twits, so if 100% of them wanted to Pay for this Moronic Platform…
He would need to convince 1/3 of the Non US users to Pay for the Privilege of Shitposting to a Bunch of Twits.
Twitter is a virtual bathroom wall
Fantastic news. Pretty much everyone working at Twitter is grotesque and doesn't deserve to eat.
Ain't nobody paying to chat. Especially when I can go elsewhere
Saudis won’t have anything to say about twitter product. This is about inclusion. Musk did a great job of keeping them on.
Musk does not care if TWITTER makes money, initially. People will pay for a platform that ads value. $3 is nothing. Drastic changes are needed at twitter. All of which are welcome.
at $3 a month Twitter will lose its casual users. Subscription is a form of censorship as well
switch saager with kyle he seems like a whiney rich kid
Elon is nowhere close to the richest man in the world. The ones were not familiar with our Rich beyond belief.
Imagine still using twitter and Facebook in 2023. Lol
Sagar, quit apologizing for potentially offending people. Fuck their feelings
I don't know why regular working people like Musk. You're not paying attention to this idiots actions of you think he's a friend of working people.
Profit and principle in this case are not necessarily exclusive. Elon's motivation was never solely free speech: he saw an opportunity to provide a public good for a profit
Chrystal is getting even less insightful.
Time to get rid of the marxist zealots twitter.
That’s it? That’s low
Krystal has the worst takes. WTF should twitter be a public utility? Millions of people do not use Twitter. Why should non Twitter users subsidize Twitter?
Yeay!!now hire mormal people!! Go elon!!
bot players?
Data Licensing is already a part of Twitter’s business model. They already package data to give consumer insights. Twitter publishes yearly trend reports, and also offers a service to clients.
Saagar is like, I'm all for subscription fees…. Yet they're still going to sell your data and God knows what else they'll take from you. This is bs and these companies need regulation
Fire them Elon ,bye bye
I’m all for charging a subscription for Twitter. I won’t be a customer, but I fully support the subscription model for what’s become a putrid mountain of trash under the “free” model.
Wasn't Saagar the one touting that Elon was suppose to make Twitter a bastion for free speech?
I don't firing a 1000 employees is enough. Burn it all down and build again!!
What is quintiple? Quin tup (rhymes with cup) L.
Perhaps that's the social engineering dept doing social experiments, harvesting data, doing research, propagating and influencing social trends, for whatever incentivize interests or groups can afford a voice in the matter.
69million, haha Gold….Plaid
