Elon managing to collect monthly fee for basically a jpeg, is definitely not worst of his business moves.
I dunno, it delegitimised the usefulness of Twitter somewhat. Now you can't be certain that the NASA account that announces an apocalyptic asteroid is real or not.
Long term effects are really of no concern for modern CEOs, that's not exclusive to Elon that is modus operandi.
That went away quick, but the result is much worse and why I left. Instead of having a relevant list of replies after a tweet, all the ones you see now are blue check dopes who have the dumbest things to say you could ever imagine. If it's not outright trolling it is pure ignorance
I don't really use Twitter ever, so I'm not 100% sure, but isn't that what the colored checkmarks are for? Like he started charging for the blue checkmark, but then added gold and gray (and maybe others I don't know about?) for marking official organizations/companies.
