🇺🇸⚡️ - Hunter Biden's plea deal falling apart.

Nick's take from his show earlier on why Musk is rebranding twitter as 'X' and working towards this concept of the 'everything app' made a lot of sense.

Basically Elon needs to integrate Twitter into a larger revenue generation infrastructure in order to liberate its business model from dependence upon advertisers - as of last year, 92% of twitter's revenue is from advertising.

So long as twitter retains this business model it is vulnerable to advertiser boycotts, if a free speech platform is ever going to become structurally viable as a business model it needs to expand beyond the limitations of just being a social media company. It instead needs to leverage social media use as customer engagement for other more profitable services.

Whether this 'X' app is successful and what it's moderation policies are remain to be seen of course, but structurally something like this appears to be the necessary evolution of the platform.
