X (Twitter) to soon begin charging $1 annual subscription in order to tweet and interact.
Next move must be to charge users deleting their accounts $1. And Elon can sell your data to make more money.
Sounds more like a way to ID everyone on the platform. And perhaps normalize this practice for other platforms going forward.
Quick access to massive credit card info as well. Micro step to “the everything app”?
Yeah this is a high possibility.
People might think he’s just a bad businessman, but I think they’re overlooking the fact that he’s an evil businessman relentlessly pursuing his dreams of dictatorship based off of actual dictatorships… that is also very bad at business.
TIL my identity is worth $1 a year.
No, your identity is worth negative $1. You’re paying to give it away. He didn’t offer $1 to get it.
Because its safe to store your credit card info with Musk, surely
I’m gonna call it. This is an (obvious) attempt to squeak in monetization for everyone on twitter that is as unobjectionable as possible, and once everyone’s locked in the price will increase, and tiers will be introduced, etc etc., and it’s going to work. Nobody still on twitter is gonna care about $1/year to keep access. They’ll lap it up and thank Musk for the opportunity to be fleeced.
Musk could still fuck it up by being overly greedy and ramping up too much too fast like he tried to do last year (or this year? I’ve lost track), but I’d say this has reasonable odds of working out.
Elon simps are already going “lol $1 i literally paid more than that for my coffee”
