In a Twitter post, the head of electric vehicle maker Tesla Inc. suggested that users who sign up for Twitter Blue should pay significantly less than the current $2.99 a month, and should get an authentication checkmark as well as an option to pay in local currency.

"Price should probably be ~$2/month, but paid 12 months up front & account doesn't get checkmark for 60 days (watch for credit card chargebacks) & suspended with no refund if used for scam/spam," Musk said in a tweet.

*snip*

Musk also started a poll on his Twitter account - which has more than 81 million followers - asking whether the firm's San Francisco headquarters should be converted to a homeless shelter as "no-one shows up (to work there)." The poll got more 300,000 votes in an hour, with 90% answering yes.

I’m not sure folks realize how huge this really is. Taking down the current propaganda machine is absolutely priority one in getting his country back from the communists. Getting twitter back on track will push others to do the same because they will realize they are not so big and powerful that they are untouchable. “This can happen to you too” can go a long way against the arrogance.

This Musk take over is the best ballgame I have seen in years. Lol

You should have heard how Dan Bongino raved about Musk’s takeover of Twitter on his radio show!

A pleasant surprise.

And the anti-spam/bot suggestion is a great idea too. Probably half their traffic and users are fake. Gee, I wonder why the twitter bosses never had that before. SEC should investigate that.

MUCH easier to process ONE fee than 12 per year.
