This was definitely the part that stood out to me, but it really relies on the deals they can strike.

It makes sense. It’s ridiculous to have to subscribe to individual news websites when there are so many; an intermediary that did deals with publishers wouldn’t be a bad idea.

If Elon can get enough publishers on board I'd gladly pay more than $8/mo. Maybe offer a tiered system. Or better yet, choose-your-own.

$8/mo: Choose 2

$12/mo: Choose 4

$15/mo: Choose 6

etc.

Then people vote with their dollars which sources are important to them.

Simplicity would be challenging. It wouldn't work if it devolves into something resembling tiered Cable TV packages.
