Unpopular opinion: I'm excited so see a social media platform trying to implement a different business model than ads and user data for a change.

Yes, let's all pay the rich man 7 bucks a month to prove you are not one of his or his OpenAI bots. I pay, therefore I am.

Just because he's rich doesn't mean he has to fund Twitter with his own money. It has to sustain itself.

After he put his debts on them?

Me too. If they had done this before the acquisition, I would have supported this and paid. Musk's behaviour made me leave Twitter for good a few months ago though.

Also (if you only read the title):

> Musk revealed that the ability to vote in polls on the social media platform would also require verification for the same reason.

Like a metaphor for capitalism and government corruption: If you pay, your voice gets more weight.
