So, check this out: Elon Musk is offering up his Twitter expertise to those willing to pay a $4 monthly subscription fee. Yeah, you heard that right. For just four bucks a month, you can ask Mr. Musk anything you want on Twitter and he’ll actually respond. Pretty wild, huh?
Basically, Elon is using a new platform called “The Boring Company” to launch this Twitter Q&A service. For anyone who doesn’t know, The Boring Company is a business Musk founded to tackle traffic congestion by constructing underground tunnels for cars to travel through. And now, it seems he’s using it for other ventures as well.
Anyway, this Q&A service is pretty exclusive, as Musk has limited the number of people who can subscribe to the service to just 10,000. But for those who do secure a subscription, they’ll be able to pick Elon’s brain about anything from SpaceX to Tesla to Neuralink. Apparently, he’ll be dedicating about five hours a week to answering questions for subscribers.
Now, I haven’t personally subscribed (I’m too cheap), but I have to admit, the idea of being able to ask Elon Musk anything is pretty appealing. I mean, this guy is like a real-life Tony Stark. Plus, with his finger on the pulse of so many industries, the insights he could share would be invaluable.
Overall, I think this new Twitter service is super interesting because it shows how willing people are to pay for access to exclusive content from high-profile figures. And, it also demonstrates how people are hungry for personalized, direct interaction with the people who inspire them. Who knows, maybe someday I’ll have my own “ask me anything” service. A guy can dream, right?
