The report said Musk sent Fong a direct message asking if she wanted to have his baby — despite never having met her in person. Fong confided in friends about the advance, and once Musk found out, he unfollowed her, and her X earnings reportedly nosedived. At the peak of Musk’s engagement with her posting, she apparently raked in $21,000 over a two-week stretch on his platform.

That's kind of messed up

How do you make $21,000 on twitter?

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world 39 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Premium Xitter subscriptions and Elon artificially inflating your numbers.

Oh, so you can make money if you make popular content?

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Yeah it’s like YouTube views but imagine it only counted people who were paying for YouTube Premium.
