With this guy, I can only assume he's saying so because video ads generate more profit.

Twitter has no skin in the video serving game and they have no USP there (aside from famously allowing porn). When he realizes the folly of his actions, he'll do another U-turn like the many he's done since purchasing Twitter.

I didn't know this guy's character before he bought Twitter but am now fully convinced he's but a charlatan who's always trying to seek the popular 'vote' as a billionaire.
