The backbone of Twitter is the United States government. technology system, the assembled massive system of connected databases and server networks, is the operating infrastructure that offsets the cost of Twitter to run their own servers and database. government tech infrastructure and indirect subsidy. If my hunch is correct, Elon Musk is poised to expose the well-kept secret that most social media platforms are operating on U.S. The only entity that could possibly provide that level of capacity and scale is the United States Government – combined with a bottomless bank account. The only way Twitter, with 217 million users, could exist as a viable platform is if they had access to tech systems of incredible scale and performance, and those systems were essentially free or very cheap. Thus, some underlying suspicions were raised: Indeed, there was something very unique about Jack’s Coffee Shop. It was entirely possible to duplicate Jacks Coffee Shop, yet no one could duplicate the business model for the free coffee. A debate began.Īlternative coffee shops opened around town. Guards were placed at the entrance to pre-screen customers. Over time, using the justification of parking lot capacity and township regulations, not everyone would be able to park and enter. Curiously, it didn’t matter what size the crowd was in the backroom of Jack’s Coffee Shop they were able to generate massive amounts of never-ending free coffee at extreme scales. It didn’t matter where Jack got the coffee, how he paid for it, or didn’t, or what product advertising the customers would be exposed to while there. Crowds came for the free coffee, comfy couches, fellowship, conversation and enjoyment. The metaphorical Jack had a great idea, open a coffee shop where the beverages were free and use internal advertising as the income subsidy to operate the business.
