evidence: On Wednesday, Musk spent time sparring with — and trolling — critics of the $8 monthly fee. That included an exchange with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who wrote, "Lmao at a billionaire earnestly trying to sell people on the idea that ‘free speech’ is actually a $8/mo subscription plan." The right-leaning Musk replied, "Your feedback is appreciated, now pay $8" (and he pinned the tweet to his profile). Musk also tweeted an image of an AOC campaign sweatshirt, with the $58 price circled in red, with a thinking-face emoji. Ocasio-Cortez later hit back at Musk, writing, "One guy’s business plan for a $44 billion over-leveraged purchase is apparently to run around and individually ask people for $8. Remember that next time you question yourself or your qualifications." Musk also wants to loosen Twitter’s content-moderation policies and reverse its lifelong bans on individual users, although he has promised advertisers that Twitter won’t become "a free-for-all hellscape." Twitter will form a content-moderation council with "widely diverse viewpoints," according to Musk, and he said "no major content decisions or account reinstatements will happen before that council convenes." On Tuesday, Musk tweeted that Twitter will not reinstate anyone who was permanently banned for violating Twitter rules — as Donald Trump was following his support of the Jan. 6 attackers — "until we have a clear process for doing so, which will take at least a few more weeks."
