Any journalist who is happy *some* of you have had your #Twitter accounts restored, while others are STILL #suspended without a shred of justification, simply do not understand where #elonmusk is going with this.

He plans on monetizing the mob to humiliate you and keep you compliant. Your intentional targeting and discomfort will be a financially valuable form of entertainment.

@KraftTea I’m wondering where Musk goes with this. The $8 subscribers will inevitably be right wingers hardliners that are bad for business. Is he naive enough to think he can push them to alter their views? Does he think tweets are how journalists are paid? It’s just another “what kind of moron is he?” decision.

@pierogipowered @KraftTea This is exactly what Elon wants. Reduces visibility of left of center accounts, mob rule for the Q/MAGA crowd that will pay the 8$. Instant right wing forward Twitter.

@SnowIntheAir Does he think shadowbanned users will continue using the platform? Can subscribers fund the platform in place of advertisers? Or is the goal to overtake Gab/Truth/Rumble as the MAGA platform with him as chief grifter?

@pierogipowered I'm not sure we can say what his goal is. None of the moves he's made point to any positive business motive rather than ego-stroke & punitive actions.
