Twitter Blue, launched in June 2021, is Twitter’s first subscription service and provides exclusive access to premium features. But the striking thing is that this service is not available for all countries. It is enabled in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
In a Twitter post, the head of electric car maker Tesla Inc suggested that users who signed up for Twitter Blue should pay much less than $2.99 per month and should get a check mark for authentication, as well as the option to pay in local currency.
At that time, an Argentine user @GonzaAbalos proposed to him and wrote: “Please make it cheaper for Argentina. An entire family eats for $3 here” “. Without evading the comment, the billionaire replied: “Yes, it should be proportional to affordability & in local currency” (Yes, it should be proportional to affordability and in local currency). Automatically, attentive to the cryptocurrency boom in our country, he suggested : “Maybe even an option to pay in Doge?
But this is not the first time that Elon Musk has had an exchange with Argentines this week. What was striking was the comment he received from the governor of Jujuy Gerardo Morales this very Saturday. The Tesla director tweeted that Tesla could enter the lithium mining and refining business, without intermediaries and at scale, because the cost of the metal, a key component in battery manufacturing, has become too high. According to Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, the cost of the metal has risen more than 480% in the last year.
“The price of lithium has reached insane levels,” Musk tweeted. “There is no shortage of the element itself, as lithium is almost everywhere on Earth, but the pace of extraction/refinement is slow.”
There Gerardo Morales took the opportunity to comment on the potential of Argentina, considered one of the main lithium reserves in the world. “Hello Elon, I’m Gerardo Morales,” the president of the National UCR began to write, later reminding Musk that the two most important lithium production projects in the country “are executed here with a total capacity of 80k tons per year and 20k hectares of lithium reserves available to explore.
“We started a 96Mw distributed solar energy generation plan and a 10Mw thermosolar plant project. We have the most advanced biotechnology complex applied to the production of medical cannabis in Latin America and we started with a green hydrogen project,” explained the president of the URC.
And he concluded: “Many people talk and do nothing, we are innovating and launching real actions in this regard. I invite you to Jujuy to get to know our projects, our nature and our beautiful Andean culture. Who knows, maybe the next GIGAFACTORY will be JUJEÑA”.
