      I don’t think any penalties would be necessary, if all Publishers, big websites and popular influencers would simply stop automatically pushing their news to twitter. In most cases this is just an integration someone put in 5 years ago that notifies twitter about new blog articles, and everyone forgot that ot still exist.

      This way the value for platform users would decrease, and with it the advertising revenue Twitter could expect from companies.

      So there’s this thing called the finance industry. They’re basically smiling nervously, standing in front of this giant balloon, saying the like “don’t look over here!” And “it’s not going to burst, we promise”.

      Let’s look in on one of them know…

      “…then you pay some stupid goon to completely screw the economy, they get lynched and you walk off Scott free. It was going to crash when that whole neo colonialism schtick would inevitably fail anyway. This will accelerate the crash, so people won’t notice even.”

      “Yes, I’d like to sniff more cocaine off an orphan femur. How did you know?”

      Based on his promises to deliver a mars colony by 2018, full self driving cars by “next year” since 2015, retarded ideas of robot axis and busses, impossible hyper loops, household robots and other brain farts he can’t deliver.
