However, the New York Times report claims that Musk will go on a hiring spree and have more than 11,000 employees by 2025 – a dramatic increase from the approximately 7,500 workers that Twitter currently has.

“Musk is planning to fire 1,000 Twitter employees after he takes control”

I’m going to love seeing that.

He knows who they are. Start with the fat twitter exec who ran away from James O Keefe in the video..

“The Times hypothesizes that the mystery product could be an “ad-free experience on Twitter”

For small fee
As a member you’ll be unrestricted in what you post
...if...IF you have his nifty digital ID?
Members will naturally have blue check marks

My guess

Imagine Twitter Servers located in Space using Star Link to off site server free speech.

I can hardly wait for all the sob stories of fired libtards. I’m sure the MSM will give them all the airtime they wish.

In theory, increasing Twitter revenue by 5X times (to $26.4 billion) is not financially impossible.

Facebook had $120 billion of revenue in the most recent 12 month period.

However, Musk may have misjudged two important factors...

(1) Online advertising is a finite number - to grow Twitter, Musk must take substantial ad revenue away from highly skilled and highly successful companies like Amazon, Google, and Facebook.

(2) The current USA political environment - if the Political Left decides to shun the new Twitter, as customers or as employees, the new Twitter will be worth much less money than Musk paid for it.

X.COM was the original name for PayPal, where Musk built a lot of his wealth.

It is already ad-free if your browser has an ad blocker, as it should.

An ad blocker and profanity filter are must-haves, in my opinion.

There have been reports that current Twitter employees are "angry" and "going through five stages of grief" at the prospect of Musk buying the popular microblogging site.

Hahaha... This gets better and better. I hope he's figured out how to increase that to 100 stages of grief for those little commie 'rats.

“the SpaceX founder expects to take in nearly $10 billion from subscriptions to the social media platform.”

Does Twitter currently have subscription level services? If this is meaning one has to pay to use Twitter how can that be a revenue generator? People would bail out enmass.

It would seem that perhaps, Elon Musk is following the lead of Jim Robinson.

Those falling for the Musk ruse (that he’s not yet another globalist/Deep State Big Tech cutout frontman) should consider this:
