A 100 millionaire telling kids taking on 50k+ in debt getting an education to save $5 a week in a high inflation low interest rate environment while running the agency that prevents them from investing in high upside potential investments really sums it up.
Looking forward to a @lightning - @Twitter integration, @jack.
I'd really like to be able to gate replies to my tweets to require micropayments from accounts I haven't vetted. I expect that should cut down reply spam scams significantly.

1/ Dear @elonmusk. The perfect troll is one where people don't know whether it is a troll or not. Your recent poorly informed criticism of #bicoin + support for Doge may be the perfect troll...or you might actually believe this (God I hope not).
