It's almost as if paying for a trusted or verified badge makes it easier to spread misinformation
He claims that paying helps eliminate bots, there's no way he truly believes that or he is dumber than given credit for. The entities that are interested in disinformation have deep pockets. Most of disinformation on Facebook was done by paying them.
Musk knows, he just wants to make money.
Why though? How is his life any different if he makes more money?
Because Twitter owes more in interest on the loans he took to buy it than it makes every month and he needs to dig himself out of a financial black hole.
What has been his motivation since becoming a millionaire? Money gives him control over others.
He can say he makes more money for one. /s
If twatter turns a profit he looks good (to simps). If it craters he looks like he fucked up.
