This is perfectly legal, and OK with me, but many will perceive it as "democracy for those who can and are willing to pay."

Since it's a private company and all such policy decisions are ultimately at the discretion of management anyway, it doesn't have anything to do with democracy or legality.

This is all about validation of musk narrative. Had zero to do with democracy or free speech. Same as twitter is not a so call town square and a free speech zone. It is a private company with a leader that want to shape and direct a point of view.

No one said it was illegal, people are just pointing out the cognitive dissonance cause by "twitter will be a public square" and the fact that now he's added what is essentially poll tax for landed-white-males only(metaphorical of course)
