Elon Musk is a nice chap
EEVblog:
Elon came through on his promise to monetise creators.
Once this is proven to work, watch people fall over themselves to tweet like mad.

Musk poured $44 billion into Twitter. The global population is 8 billion people. He could have given $5 billion to each individual and still had money left over. Most people's lives would be changed if they received a $5 billion check. But he squandered it all on Twitter.

It could be a while. The company I work for is involved in advertising on social media and Twitter ad spend has been flatlined since Musk got involved. It's bad enough to essentially shelve development and focus on other platforms for the time being. Online ad spend is down across the board and has been for a couple of quarters now so it's not JUST Twitter, but none have tanked the way it has. The thing they're going to have to prove is brand safety, it's a *big* deal to advertisers, nobody wants to have their ads served alongside potentially offensive content. The thing that Musk or whoever running Twitter has to remember is that these advertisers are the customers that they need to be catering to, the users are the product. Something like 90% of Twitter's income has come from advertising.

That's certainly some funny math going on there. :o
It's off by many orders of magnitude, but $44B is still a LOT of money to spend on something.

In some poor countries, people would welcome the $5.50 it really works out to be.
