>2.4million dollars every month - pocket change

Yeah, maybe you are delusional but I'm not, 2.4million american dollars is not pocket change for anybody mate.

It is for someone who is worth $200 billion and bought a company, that is losing $800 million per year, for $44 billion. $30 million a year in additional revenue isn’t going to make Twitter a worthwhile purchase.

Yeah but an extra 30 million a year for what? To fund his goal of going to mars? I don't use Twitter personally, but there is no transparency over why 8 dollars over 4 or 2 or 1, or 15.

I agree he doesn’t need another $30 million, which was my point that it’s pocket change to him.

The transparency over “why”’is just what are people willing to pay? if people will pay $100/month they’ll charge that, if people won’t pay anything then they can’t charge anything. Some people think Twitter is worth a lot to them and they’ll pay but others, like me, wouldn’t pay a dime for Twitter as it currently exists. They will pick a price point that they believe will maximize their revenue. They just don’t know what that is at the moment so numbers are all over the place.

Im going to jokingly answer your question but if you want to even be literal, pocket change is cents, most people's assets are over six figures, the difference in those number scales is far greater than millions to billions.

Haha, I meant it in a very metaphorical way, and ofcourse I meant it's pocket change for Musk and the company called Twitter, not "anybody".
