I'll bet a buffalo nickel that this is so Musk can guarantee eyeballs on ads.

Arg: expected eyeballs on ads not 100% because blocking. This shiny new 'X' will guarantee 100%.

Tinfoil: If he can disrupt B2B on ads and seize more marketing market share, he looks like a genius and gets to add a payment feature to X. I don't think he's very creative and will just remake PayPal with a fuckton of extra steps.

The only reason I regret deleting my twitter account is because now I can’t tell Elon how fucking idiotic these decisions are.

I gave him the benefit of the doubt when he took over, but it's clear that he's completely mental.

The original owners of Twitter were forever fixing what wasn't broken, but this guy is acting like he's got a new Stretch Armstrong toy and wants to see how far he can stretch it before it breaks.
