@elonmusk I've been on Twitter in one form or another since Demi and Ashton were tweeting each other from the bathroom.

I think the more you can make people like me feel like we are invested in Twitter Blue, the more successful it will be.

It's us versus the advertisers.

1/?

I come from the world of print mags. I know there are 2 main ways to generate revenue: ads and subscribers.

If it is via ads, they will ALWAYS try to dictate content. My mags were casino gaming niche pubs. Trump was one of our main advertisers back in his casino mogul days.

The more we included our subscribers in special events — poker cruises, VIP subscriber clubs, slot tournaments, ask the editor columns, etc. — the more revenue we generated from them.

You are magic. Get creative.

Tell us what it would take financially to get out from under the advertisers — then give us the opportunity to get Twitter there.

Raffles for your quirky shit (you sold me burnt hair perfume, ffs!), live stream Q & A's with super chats...

4/?

Twitter HQ VIP tours, raffle off a robot or better yet, a trip to outer space.

But most importantly, remember: the power can't really go to the people unless the people are involved.

I've lost count/one more to go

And if you make them feel like they really own a piece of this town square, they will defend the living shit out of it.

Sending loads of positive vibes.

Your mom is cool af.

PS: We need Twitter TV.

Because You Tube is part of the problem and Rumble sucks.
