Musk to employees: This is an engineering-driven culture. You have to work long hours at high intensity. I make all decisions.
Musk to users: This is a paid reach culture. You have to pay $8 and work long hours at high intensity for previously free reach. I make all rules.

Are you quitting Twitter? Qwitting? (sorry, can't help myself)
If so, don't you think social was always a digital serfdom with unequal reach? Why does Elon's admittedly boorish turn change the equation so much?
