lmao if that’s true he blundered this one so hard. either he doubles down and doesn’t reinstate premium, causing people to get annoyed at him and potentially leave. or he does reinstate it and has essentially lost control over his platform.
seems like the former so far, his last tweets are full of responses just talking about this.
It seems like he’s demonitizing accounts who aren’t even tweeting him directly, just talking about him. It doesn’t matter what he does at this point, he’s just identified himself as attacking Trump stans. They won’t trust him again.
He will back down, though. Not only does he have the same crippling need to be loved as Trump does, but these lamprays srr probably generating a significant fraction of Twitter’s revenue these days.
That’s why he loves AI and hates wikipedia. He hates transparency and would be perfectly ok with only the appearance of a grass root movement. He doesn’t want to be loved, he just wants to make it seem that way so the average uninformed reader believes it. Then his plan is to essentially Black Mirror Nosedive away the opposition from relevance, soon with a position of power as well as wealth.
He doesn’t need Twitter revenue financially, but he needs Twitter to be profitable psychologically. There’s no way his ego will let Twitter not be a “business win”.

Musk doesn’t need Twitter revenue, but he does need a controlled media platform
