I guess changing staff is normal and layoff 50% is the point why so many people are offended and irritated. Charging blue tick membership is no big deal but for most people, they'd rather throw 5 or 10 dollars for a cup of coffee than spend $8/month for social media membership.I just don't get it. Too bad that their advertisement system failed so Twitter has to be where it is now. If Elon could not save Twitter in the near future, everything would be going to collapse.

Elon already withdrew that idea, because of all the fake accounts. It was stupid idea for many reasons but mainly for that. Others would be: It was free, there would be opening tor competition that would take the users in for free, one that wouldn't have draconian corporate culture, and one that people and advertisers would happily support. If facebook suddenly turned to paid version, there's no way people would use that anymore. They rather create telegram/discord groups and chat there.

But i believe this won't end, Elon is just acting so erratic that he could just cut his losses, and as he won't be getting back advertisements under his command he could even sell twitter forward or something.

Anyway, this train wreck has been hilarious to watch:



Latest tweet probably sums up how this will go:
