Going broke underestimating the intelligence of the public

How many people are willing to pay for Twitter? Not nearly as many as your idiot Silicon Valley bros will tell you:

Impressive how, 10 months after making an offer to buy it, Musk still hasn't released any new products or features. (Twitter Blue is an emoji.) It's all just the same site, only worse: awful people unbanned, clueless fiddling with the algorithm, broken API, busted verification. https://t.co/q8J5CTm7Ve— Max Kennerly (@MaxKennerly) February 7, 2023

But if you’re the kind of person who will say “followers*10^-3” rather than “$1 per thousand followers” you must be some kind of supergenius! Buying an emoji will be like getting your kid into Williams, and you can bet $44 billion on that!
