DISPATCH — During an interview he had with the Israeli Prime Minister on Monday, September 18, Elon Musk suggested establishing “a small monthly payment” to use the social network Bad idea?
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a Jewish organization based in the United States, has accused Elon Musk of spreading anti-Semitism through can control the proliferation of robots on its network. However, it is the latter who tend to ignite the powder, on sensitive subjects whatever they may be. It is on this point that Benjamin Netanyahu wanted to emphasize, asking Musk how he planned to “prevent the use of robots”.
According to him, there is only one solution: to establish “a small monthly payment for the use of system X”. “It’s the only way I can think of to fight vast armies of robots,” he said. “Because a robot costs a fraction of a cent — call it a tenth of a cent — but if someone has to pay even a few dollars, a minor amount, the effective cost of robots is very high. “
Not everyone is fond of the idea: “If he really does it, it will kill the site. No matter the cost. Most people won’t pay (…) It will kill the site and the advertising revenue in one go.”, for example reacted Ed Zitron, boss of a media relations company and columnist for the media Business Insider. Especially since Musk seems to be betting big on advertising revenue since he bought Twitter, introduced paid subscriptions (Twitter Blue) and offered remuneration to the biggest accounts.
