>Interesting how everyone was calling musk a madman for paid twitter accounts and suddenly its a trend.

I think you are taking a very interesting spin on the situation and leaving out many factors; notable blowing up advertising revenue to the tune of several hundred million dollars per year in exchange for a program that is now pulling ~30M/year.

Twitter booked ~$4b/year in advertising revenue before Musk.

How would you know what Twitter booked with Musk, now that it is a private company and they don't have to report it, other than rumors and heresay?

Rumors and hearsay aren't worthless when they're published in the Wall St Journal, which has the ability to vet its sources.
