Twitter I think will be his crown jewel!

A kitchen sink app in which..

- Use Twitter to pay for parking (tired of downloading tons of apps in different cities to do this)

- Musk should find other verticals where ppl have to download multiple apps to do the same thing.. just do it in Twitter

- Make Twitter a public Internet identity system. You want to troll online use your fake account... you want to be serious, comment online using your verified Internet ID that Twitter has verified you in many ways

- Free speech .. cesspool continues and worse via anonymous/fake Twitter accounts. Slightly less when one uses their verified account

I think he could triple his investment with a kitchen sink app!

From what I've seen, non-anonymity doesn't do much to reduce the vitriol of online discussion. What it probably has a larger impact on is on potentially persecuted minorities (say, trans people), where non-anonymity makes it easier to threaten them in real life.

Well i dont see a way ever to force everyone to use their verified public Internet identity, but such a system is needed. Especially with deepfakes technology getting more evolved and easier to use.

Hmmm...on a different note...Getting downvoted and would enjoy hearing why if anyone cares to explain. Are you not tired too of downloading tons of apps just to pay for parking?

I am tired of my every sneeze being tracked by the rest of the world. It is dystopia.

P.S. I do not downvote any posts no matter what.

cool and thanks, but that's what Musk has said he wants to do and just sharing some thoughts/ideas around that.

You don't have to use it, but many others who desire a simplest user experience for X will and that's a money maker I believe. A way to reap his investment and then some.

My experience has been tradeoffs.

Real identity has those most vulnerable get more threats, the majority get less.
