JUST FACTS: It's estimated there are around 400,000 blue☑️'s on Twitter. At $8 a month, that's $3.2 million a month(if they pay). NOW, there are about 240 million users on Twitter, how many become verified? It's simple business analytics. @elonmusk
If only 10 million decide to become verified, that's an $80 million a month revenue increase not including other income streams.
Let's say 40 million step up and become verified over time…that's $320 million in revenue a month or $3.8 billion annually.
But most importantly, let’s leave out the dollars and cents. It’s about freedom. Talk all you want about civilization, but this is what it is about, FREEDOM, and I thank you for that. @elonmusk

With ad revenue currently at around $175 million a month or around $2.1 billion annually.
Add it all up…it will be between a $4.3 to $4.7 billion a year business not including things that are not public. Still wondering how Twitter didn't collapse years ago bleeding out 4-6 million year. How did it stay afloat all these years? @elonmusk
In the prediction section of the recent Twitter discussion {Go Deep} CTH mentioned the reason and unspoken motive behind a prediction that multinational corporations would start to pull their advertising money from Elon Musk.
We are simply in an era where there is no distinction between the WEF guidance for multinational corporations and the instructions toward governments’ they support. Free speech and freedom of expression are against both their interests.
Multinational corporations are political entities. The former distinctions between the private and public sector have been purposefully erased. Evidence can be found in the vaccination mandate and within corporate responses to voter outcomes during elections.
Last year, Nigeria launched its much-ballyhooed eNaira, Africa’s first central bank digital currency (CBDC).
Central bankers, academics, politicians, and an assortment of elites from over 100 countries hoping to launch their own CBDCs have closely followed the eNaira.
They used Nigeria—Africa’s largest country by population and size of its economy—as a Petri dish to test their nefarious plans to use CBDCs to enslave the people of North America, Europe, and beyond.
I hope we see similar outcomes in the West should digital currencies launch here, but believe Western peoples are much more trusting of their governments than Nigerians are of theirs and thus we are more likely to lose this battle. We are seeing widespread shifts away from the absurd left (sometimes absurdly called shifts toward the “far right”) in the West but how could we have gone this far woke in the first place? The Buddhist understanding of our current civilizational plight is that’s how this human realm is; that’s the First Noble Truth of suffering or “unsatisfactoriness.” Recognizing the First Noble Truth does not mean succumbing to its manifestations. It does imply, however, that our moral obligations may take longer than expected to bear good fruits and will in many ways impact the moral doer(s) more than this realm overall. Overcoming this realm entails rising above it as much as improving it in what ways we are able. How and where you draw the line between those two is up to you and also explains several major themes in Buddhist history. At its core, Buddhism is an ethical/moral practice that is deeply involved with this human realm and also ultimately transcends this human realm. ABN

Xi is driven by KOBK game theory rules as he understands and lives them. He has “killed,” or disempowered, all of his rivals but new rivals and new alliances will surely form against him. The population is well-cowed but a bad economy and continued restrictions will erode Xi’s hold over them. War will marshal a kind of unity for a time but for how long? As China’ economy declines, war with Taiwan becomes more likely because there will be increasingly less for Xi to lose and more for him to gain by it. ABN
The best alternative for energy generation is next generation nuclear power (fast-reactors). They combine safety, efficiency, and a small land footprint into an ideal power system.
These next generation reactors, such as the sodium-cooled integral fast reactor (IFR), are extremely safe because if the cooling goes bad, the reactor safely shuts down based on the laws of physics. These reactors also recycle their own waste on site so the nuclear material can be used over and over again (a method known as pyroprocessing). There is a very small amount of “waste” product but it can be safely stored and becomes “safe” after less than 100 years (and we know how to store things safely on those time frames vs. thousands of years required for traditional nuclear waste).
