thicc tin foil hat

-twitter takes over Reuters and creates exclusive contracts for reporters and news writers (literally undercut the paid news link industry already on Twitter)

-Twitter becomes the sole news source for the vast majority of people because it's free and uses influential tweet sales (fees for linking to tweets "NFT sale to use tweet" from any remaining news/ad companies) to pay exclusive writers.

-stock tips and thoughts can no longer be blocked by a part owner of the company (FCC has some but mostly limp wristed power)

 

-host a stream from mars

OMG Elon Musk stole my idea!
