      Less than 1% of twitter users signed up to pay for twitter blue. And less than 1% of twitter users are going to do their banking through a social media site run by a megalomaniac. This is doomed to failure, just like it was 20 years ago.

      As painful as it might be for him, this dude really needs to let go of his obsession with the letter X.
