Hey here is a suggestion for Elon to pay for it. The old swear jar concept. If you want to be vile or potentially vile you have to pay for it. You post something that could be offensive then content moderation flags it and you have a credit card on file. If the charge goes through your post goes through. I dont know say $1 per post. Same goes if you want to retweet something vile.

Elon’s solution to a system that favors the well off and well connected is to charge for it. Presumably he is joking.
Also continued conflating of Twitter Blue and blue checks. Not sure what he is saying.

He’s implying that it’ll be easier to get a blue checkmark. Think of it as upward mobility.
I couldnt care less about having a blue checkmark. I care about people claiming to be someone having the blue checkmark to confirm they are who they are claiming to be.

I love love love the idea of a small fee for each misinformation post that has to be deleted. Sort of a trash/sanitation service charge.
Elon can kick off the effort by personally paying for his demonstration example from a couple of days ago, and then demand that the Twitter engineers create the new system in 7 days to generalize the bogus-hate-post fee or they're fired

Serious question - Do people still watch TV? Must be those who drive Government Motors cars and use Facebook with their new ads.

Blue check clout?
IRL have you had anyone bring up their blue check status and follower count?
The whole thing would just seem silly to me.
I don’t even know what it means. I thought maybe it was a sign of number of tweets over time or something. Clearly it matters to someone.

Some have compared it to becoming a “made man” in the mob.

Elon took over twitter because of the dangers of left/right echo chambers and amplifying division.
With the one Pelosi tweet I've never seen twitter so divided and angry.

Extending this fantasy idea for making-Twitter-great-again: Also have a (much larger) service fee for falsely reporting completely legit posts as some kind of fake-violation. The funds can be farmed back into paying a set of professional humans to quickly review each post-violation-report so that legit material stays up and bogus crap gets blocked. Rapidly.

Ground news is great. They really list everything they can find on a subject and then the historical L/R bias for the publisher. Use them all the time, love them.
Elon seems laser focused on Tesla's mission, eh?
Seemingly clever whataboutism aside, the perps at VW are long gone and have been suffering consequences, including prison time and upcoming trials. But does our CEO have accountability ? I think the current TSLA SP does reflect that there are some consequences.Forgive me, but I could never support a company or CEO that was involved in poisoning the world via the DieselGate scandal. I still can’t believe that any company involved in the scandal is still in business. Your support of crooks like Audi, while criticizing Musk, is laughable. Elon’s tweet about the etron was perfect!
Ex-Audi boss stands trial over 'dieselgate' scandal in Germany
Rupert Stadler is the first first top executive to stand trial over the 2015 emissions-cheating scandal.www.bbc.com
I don't believe there is any demand collapse, especially with the current auto market and other manufacturers inability to deliver EVs, but EV-CPO.com is starting to show more new Tesla inventory (still practically no Model X).
Would be interesting to see what demand and SP would be without all the controversies, I would think near $300.

“You will also get: - Priority in replies, mentions & search, which is essential to defeat spam/scam”
It‘s true that there is no way the spammers/scammers will ever pay $8/mo. Impenetrable barrier to entry.
Maybe Parag not such a genius after all.
To be clear there is definitely room for improvement here, but it’ll be an interesting (and unending) battle against some undesired elements of Twitter.

That’s the way to stick it to them.
Every time he posts something controversial, cancel a reservation. Make sure to cancel the lowest ones first because that makes your point most clear.
You can always change your mind and get a new reservation later.
How about fixing the issues in Tesla's software, Elon?
I think perhaps they should consider exempting existing blue checks who have lots of followers. At least for retaining the blue check. The rest of the features they could keep the fee for.
Of course… $8/ month is a joke for any well known names.
