That’ll pay back those billions in debt!
Twitter set to be the first ever platform with -200 Million users!
Elon's going to create 200 million accounts and sell their usernames for $50,000 each for $10 trillion profit!
I’ll sell one for half that
Remember when they took handle X from it's original user Gene X Hwang, who had it for years? The renamed him to @x12345678998765.
User names are taken as easily as they are given. They aren't worth any price unless you have some memes to spread.
But hey. Claim as many names as you like now. Apparently you get to charge 50k to sell them to those with more money than sense.
Hmm. Interestingly enough, it’s about the same price as an inactive Cybertruck.
This is so obviously something Musk would do that I fail to see how it counts as newsworthy.
