No one tell Musk Ice Cube is more liked, and only 2% less famous...

He was delightful in 'Fist Fight' alongside Charlie Day.

It was an awful, awful film, but he was alright.

To Locke, all Ice's look the same. He's a big ice racist. He once confused the movie Ice Age with Ice Storm.

I think the only reasonable way for Locke to save face right now is to mistake Vanilla ice for Ice Cube.

Incidentally, Vanilla Ice is crushing Musk in the same YouGov polls as well. 93% "heard of", 41% approval, 23% disapproval.

I thought Locke was just doing that old joke of purposely mixing up the Ice's for lols. Nope

This might actually be the thing to zombify Twitter

Yup, because bots making $50 a month on spamming are suddenly going to quit because of a $5 a month charge? Brilliant.

Well I'm definitely not paying for that crap. This seems like a downright awful idea. Twitter is losing market share....let's drive more people away by asking them to pay for it.

There is no way am individual bot account is making that much. Many bots are not seeking profit at all ("like" farming, political interference, etc.) and the ones that are trying to make money by spamming make a miniscule amount of money each, multiplied by a huge number of bots. Charging $5/month would immediately remove the majority of bots. The bots need to go for Twitter to become tolerable. I, for one, welcome the radical change of charging for every account.



Do I think it will make twitter profitable? No. Of course not. But I always love watching a radical direction change.

Then why do so many bot accounts have blue checks they pay for?

It's not even the 'driving people away' part that's stupid, how do you get my 16 and 17 years olds to sign up for an account they dont need and has no appreciable value to them if its not free? the only model that can work for social media is free because the product you are offering is wholly worthless

I can't say for sure because I'm not on Twitter. My guess is that some of that some of those accounts belong to real people who just behave like bots and the rest are indeed paying because they get some value out of it, even if it's not direct monetary value. There are still has to be millions of bots without a blue checkmark.

LOL. Either the bots read a lot of long form posts, or someone at Xitter is giving Musk bull#### numbers to make him look dumb. The fact he is bragging about it shows he doesn't really get how reality works.
