@taylorlorenz he thinks he's going to turn #Twitter into some kind of banking app after this does he?
Whoever bought that line needs to have a serious conversation with themselves and their accountant.

i doubt he's got a second step in mind.

i get the impression he's just in a short sighted panic about the company losing money, and reacting by going around pointing at things yelling "make them pay for that!"

and a room for of very tired accountant's and engineers say "um, ok Elon, if you say so…" and then hope he forgets about it, because if they say "that's a terrible idea because…" they get fired.

e.g. what happened to the paid API access thing?
