| If it doesn't make sense, look closer until it does. The distributed amount is $5 million. That's not a lot by Twitter standards, they have 500k users, so that's $10 per user average. However the money only goes to accounts which are large enough (5m impressions in 3 months or something), have a Stripe account, are in specific countries, and most importantly, approved by Twitter, which somehow resulted in approval of all the accounts Elon personally is communicating with, all his buddies pushing Tesla investors news, talking about how he's a genius, his rightwing buddies, even Andrew Tate somehow, and select minor celebrities which have also repeatedly announced they like Elon. Currently Twitter is intensely distributing emails to their users, urging them to sign up for Twitter Blue, so they "don't miss out" on the revenue sharing program: https://twitter.com/JuddLegum/status/1680185572730478592 This is a classic "pay fee to claim award" scam. The vast majority of these accounts will hopelessly be trying to get the impressions they need, and be approved by Twitter, and never will be. But only 50k new subscribers will cover the cost of these $5 million distributed to the top brass. Clearly Elon believes he can get hundreds of thousands to sign-up for Twitter Blue at the hope of getting money. Give money to get money. Are there that many gullible users? I don't know. I think everyone gullible on Twitter is already a subscriber so this will fail, as well. |
