    can he actually pay twitter’s bills? like, i really don’t know whether he can just directly pay them, corporations aren’t structured like a weekend market i’m assuming

    and even if he could, i’m not sure if it would be sustainable (1bn usd hosting bill sounds very substantial)

    do you have access to their financial reports? bc i’m not sure how one can make claims like that otherwise 🤷‍♀️

    like, i kinda see it wrt to the whole blue checkmark fiasco, but the issue with profitability goes much deeper than that, both in terms of time (during which this problem existed) and design (how twitter is made)

    real shit

    ppl like to shit on twitter and the link (reasonably so), but it’s a legitimate challenge to run it and do so profitably, if they’re having troubles with their server costs, only thing i could actually fault them with is making a platform that takes like 1mb of bandwidth to serve like 1/3 kb worth of text (also allowing pictures and videos)

    💀💀

    as much as i hate elon musk tho, it is a sort of reasonable strategy in case you’re trying to prevent incurring further hosting charges while you’re migrating 🤷‍♀️

    not sure why he can’t just pay the hosting bill but whatever, that’s secondary i guess
