That depends. Is your name Elon Musk? Separate systems to go through either way. Just let me know, I can make the change in the DB

Pay $11 a month.

@smalljustin Elon Musk is a separate category.

I'm also confused what this means, maybe some more comments could be helpful in the algorithm

"power users" appears to be related to "vits", which I believe stands for "very important Twitter accounts". So a "power user" is probably just everyone with a lot of followers who isn't Elon, a Republican, or a Democrat.
