There's no way wlon is gonna charge for X. I think it was just a throwaway comment.
But yeah bluesky is hoovering up from it. Nostr hasn't had any noticeable wave of new users imo
Looks like Elon’s comment that he might start charging everybody to use X has caused a flood of new signups for bluesky. Have we seen something similar for Nostr?

*Elon lol
Although I do like to do a a search on bluesky for 'nostr'. There is a noticeable increase of mentions there outside of nostr people promoting it. Albeit mostly negative and poopooing lol. I think it's due to Jack deleting and people wondering where he is. Excellent marketing campaign for nostr if deliberate, even if it is just for brand recognition rather than new users.
Consensus seems to be 'nostr is for cryptobros', which tbf isn't that inaccurate (yes yes I know I know 'bitcoin not crypto' lol).
