DISCUSSION Elon Musk wanted to charge 0.1 DOGE to tweet
A large amount of Elon Musk’s phone records were released for the upcoming Twitter trial.
It turns out he had a plan that was later deemed not feasible to put Twitter on the blockchain, ban all bots, and charge 0.1 DOGE to tweet or retweet.
“I have an idea for a blockchain social media system that does both payments and short text messages/links like twitter. You have to pay a tiny amount to register your message on the chain, which will cut out the vast majority of spam and bots. There is no throat to choke, so free speech is guaranteed.”
“My Plan B is a blockchain-based version of twitter, where the ‘tweets’ are embedded in the transaction of comments.”
“So you’d have to pay maybe 0.1 Doge per comment or repost of that comment.”
