Not a single actual quote from Elon in this article. Does anyone know what he actually said? Because the title states it as a definitive while the excerpts sound more like he was just floating the idea out loud.
Yeah that’s true. The headline is asserting something that I don’t think Musk has actually said he will do. On the other hand, I’m having trouble thinking of any random idea Musk has had that he didn’t attempt to follow through on.
The only way to fight bots is to charge users a fee? Gee, I wonder how all of these other sites do it. 2-factor logins, manual auth prompts, rotating passwords on suspected accounts… a real unsolvable problem for the stable tech genius, I see.

They will? Or they’re considering it?
Two very very different things.
Far easier than cleaning up your site and getting advertisers to come back. Lazy Elon.
Nail. Coffin. Good riddance.
A service that I have to pay for AND it harvests and sells my personal data? SIGN ME UP!
If Musk wants me to use his shitty crap site, I will be charging him a small monthly fee.
Very misleading title. Apparently floating an idea is now committing to implement a policy.
Shut up cuck
Lol, reality doesn’t matter
Musk living that rent free?
Can we just skip to the part where the servers get shut down? I’m so tired of hearing about this prick.
I will believe it when I see it.
Let’s not forget that more than half of its user base don’t have access to online payment. so I don’t know how they are planning on keeping them
Since I left Twit-X, I’ve been feeling no sense of loss. Perhaps, a little smug in fact.

Isn’t Mastodon enough?
Hard to get interaction.
Even harder than this WireMin thing?
Its better for me, but it might not be for you?
I mean… I never even heard of it up to now, and I’m quite active on fediverse.
Me too, its just sometime fediverse still got censorship.

Why?

I looked into it, and I am definitely interested. Do you have the unlimited plan? Because I 100% would burn through the other plans very quickly.

Right now it’s an idea, but Musk’s ideas tend to become reality more often than not. I already stopped Twitter, they do this I’ll be gone for good.

I mean specifically the bit about “X will…” as if it is a fact.
Yeah that’s true. The headline is asserting something that I don’t think Musk has actually said he will do. On the other hand, I’m having trouble thinking of any random idea Musk has had that he didn’t attempt to follow through on.
Not if they’re funded by deep pockets like with governments and corporations.
This will hurt the site so much. People will leave.
Don’t interrupt your enemy while he is making a mistake
It probably won’t, but it keeps Musk in the news.
But people keep talking about it and upvoting it. Please just downvote the musk spam. This isn’t even about Twitter/x, it’s just musk rambling.
