Does this apply to someone who would be veriable already or my small business I can apply for it?

Anyone, and there is already Twitter Blue which many persons and businesses are subscribed to. Special people will continue to have their tags, but it has to be a paid account.

I am curious how long Stephen King will hold out on subscribing, he has three months to deliberate.

You don’t think Elon Musk is smart?

I’m sure he is. Money doesn’t make you smart as is evidenced by Trump, but I’m pretty sure Elon is pretty clever.

Regarding his purchase of Twitter though, it looks like he’s making it up as he goes along so in that case, no.

Twitter has almost never been profitable, so whatever they are doing isn't working.

Going the paid user route and making Twitter the funnest place to have public conversations is how he can turn it into a goldmine. With the way that Youtube has been behaving recently as well, Musk could likely snap up Odysee for pennies and integrate long form video content into Twitter. Boom, he has just combined two relatively small things that can take on Youtube.
To make it a fun place they will need to do the following:
* Revoke access to upvote farms operating out of Bangladesh
* Get rid of the furries, and their hangers-on, aka SJWs and snowflakes
* Get rid of the fake celebs aka Kardashian wannabees seeking constant attention like a dog in heat.
* Get rid of the automated trolls

I see CZ is open to being a Twitter board member. Musk get him onboard, then many will change their tune quick.
What the purpose be though? Turn it into a crypto mouthpiece? It'll loose the bit of legitimacy it has

Sies, you wish. Think your looking for @Dave if you want a cheap fondling.

Nah, I’m fine thanks.

It appears though it was you who was bruised a little by my comment about Elontjie. I’m truly sorry if I offended you.

In CZ's view, their equity interest is to push web 3.0 and the blockchain, but Twitter has long pushed crypto. It is crypto which pushed Twitter Blue, to appease the cryptobros. Musk wasn't even in the picture when Twitter started to embrace NFTs. As I said many times, nothing is stopping Web 3.0, NFTs and the crypto-related metaverse.

Ignoring this, CZ and his team have built a crypto business which disrupted the crypto space, and that expertise and business acumen can be leveraged to also disrupt the social media space.

Nah, you didn’t. I think you hoped you did but alas he is no relation to me.

So much for elon's claim of wanting to promote free speech, if it's going to cost $8/m. He's already said subscribers will have their tweets promoted, meaning the unverified users will be drowned out. He's probably counting on the right wing nazis to all jump at the chance of subscribing so that their drivel gets promoted and drowns out all other conversations.

No, no. I hoped I hadn't hurt you but I'm afraid there is no other way to read your comment. That's why I apologised.

It's okay not to be okay. My DMs are open.

Let’s agree to disagree. No need to DM
