What an utter joy you must be to live with.
The utter lack of any sense of humor is something I seriously hope Elon can continue to reverse. People seriously need to get over themselves and stop seeking out infinite ways to be offended. Live and let live! Life is too short to have sticks so firmly implanted so deeply.

That's an unnecessarily personal reply. I've met the person you're responding to and think he's a lot of fun.
... and I say this as someone who agrees with the argument that twitter is deeply toxic, that it systematically rewards, promotes, and monetizes toxicity, and that in this case Elon was behaving in a manner which within the abhorrent norms of the overall platform. [Though, I'm sure Mr. Gates will be fine, and that ultimately the comment mostly just makes Mr. Musk look bad...]
But having a different opinion on that doesn't make someone a killjoy. Someone isn't humorless because they think that mocking someone's appearance like that-- particularly outside of special context like a comedy club-- is gross.

None of this is relevant to whether changing the nature of Twitter in this manner will make it worth more than $43B. (And I'm just gonna ignore your ad hominems.)
Humor is very hard to monetize.
