Reading this article feels like I'm stuck at a dinner party repeating, "That's a crazy idea, man" to some techbro and they mistakenly take that as invitation to keep talking.

The reality is that Elon wants to be a politician but was born in the wrong place to aspire to the highest office.

Hence is pivoting towards being "a full time influencer" of the political discourse.

He wants ALL the attention, and cars, tunnels, solar tiles might get him attention today but what will ALWAYS get people's attention from now till the end of the specie is politics. The millennial forces of progressivism against conservatism as Bill Clinton called them.

I think FOX ratings will drop especially Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity because Elon's megaphone is super loud (and it was before he even bought Twitter). They might be celebrating right now but they are essentially going after the same demographic .

Ironically the only safe hosts are on MSNBC because of a much different demographic and style that they have compared to Musk.

I feel extremely confident that this offer would not encourage me to take any action on Elon's behalf. I would likely just stop using Twitter if my account got transformed into a scam coin.

"Suppose Twittercoin hits ETH's $350B. That's >$1500 per user. Now anyone blocking the deal is making 217M people poorer.

This is how @elonmusk wins."

Interesting idea, but what's to stop all those tokenholders from going elsewhere without Elon? Once you free up the ID space, what value is there anymore in Twitter?
