Elon Musk on Tuesday proposed charging commercial and government Twitter users but promised that the social media platform would always be free for casual users.
“Ultimately, the downfall of the Freemasons was giving away their stonecutting services for nothing,” Musk tweeted.
He followed up, “Twitter will always be free for casual users, but maybe a slight cost for commercial/government users.”
Need a commercial blue check mark for commercial users also allowing us to identify propaganda faster. Or just block anyone with that badge lol.
/Salute to Elon. Crafty Bastard.
Define “slight”.
But I like that. Commercial customers want free advertising?
Nah. Homie don’t play that.
I would make exception to small business owners with 3 or less employees.
Which may be difficult to verify and keep track of.
Many/most of them are running on slim profit margins, and need as many breaks as possible to be able to take home a paycheck.
Fees should be based on commercial entity size.
Bigger = more.
Sounds great until you think it through.
Government will pay by taxing the citizens and commercial will be paid by the consumer that uses their service.
Brilliant……simply Brilliant……!!!!!!
Charge triple for legacy media sources.

And a big red check mark for Ministry of Truth users!!
He should also Double his Space Payload Rate.
Its not like he has any real competition from NASA, Russia, or ESA.
Seems right. After all, the IRS tax-charges marketplace users such as eBay and facebook sellers when they make $600+. IRS found out some time ago they can make mega-coin on the backs of private sellers and cottage industry. Musk’s fees to govt shouldn’t be “small”, all things considered.

True. Just like the idea of socking it to corporations that provide the public goods and services always socks it to the consumers.
