Elon Musk wants to milk Twitter: 50% of employees fired and users at checkout!
A billionaire does not become a billionaire by volunteering or throwing his money out the window. By buying Twitter for the sum of $44 billion, Elon Musk intends to make money. Admittedly, it is also a question of “freeing the blue bird”, but that will not be done at the expense of profitability. First project: make people pay. $20 for the blue certification sticker! And then no, finally it will be $8 after a quick exchange with the novelist Stephen King. Everything at 8 balls or I pack up! Benefits ? Fewer ads, the ability to post longer videos and tweets that will appear in priority.
And it’s already sucking…
And already it gets stuck among the defenders of virtue: “Yes, if anyone can buy their certification badge, that poses a problem of credibility of the information”. Ha because the censorship decided in an office by 4 people was good maybe? Also ask anyone who, because they had had the audacity to work for an “unapproved” medium, was branded with the infamy seal: “State-affiliated media”.
Again, freedom of expression is not a one-way street. We can’t wait for Musk to remove these aberrations.
Hey @ElonMusk, I’m a French journalist. I hope you will delete my stamp “State Affiliated Media, Russia”. It’s discrimination. Totally unfair. For the freedom of expression, I hope you can hear me. Thanks.”

The Pope in PLS
We liked the joke of the head of the tech department at BFMTV who explains that the Pope will sulk when he has to pay $8 for his blue sticker. Well apparently the Pontifex Maximus should have a waiver, just like institutional accounts. Still as funny, but this time in spite of himself, Mr. Grably explains that Musk has no idea where he is going when he responds to a tweeter who points out that going from $20 to $8 in one tweet is not very strong in negotiation. It’s true that a guy who sends rockets into space and lands them straight as an i on a surface equivalent to that of a Mobalpa kitchen is used to governing blindly… Be careful, we don’t We’re not die-hard Musk fans at all, but it’s fun to see the internet go wild for so little.
It’s going to be weird when the Pope is going to have to pay Elon Musk to stay certified. pic.twitter.com/waji8BcUJ7

Directorate of employment center
According to several sources, Musk is also cleaning up the payroll and there it is the carnage: one in two employees finds himself unemployed. Once again, the forces of good are rising up against so much “violence”. Finding yourself unemployed because your job is considered dispensable happens all the time and everywhere in the world. Elon Musk is a capitalist. Who would’ve believed that ?
Defenders of the “old Twitter” rejoice anyway: since Musk has been in the place, the number of users has plummeted. According Bot Sentinel, 877,000 tweeters flew in between October 27 and November 1. On more than 230 million million accounts, this does not weigh heavily, but we are sure that they will all find a new “safe space” on GETTR or on Truth Social…
