00:02 - Elon Musk's ex has now officially,
00:06 is now officially allowing porn
00:08 after an update to the policies.
00:11 - Yes.
00:12 - What do you think about this?
00:13 - Well, first of all, I think it's legitimacy
00:15 for the porn industry, which is amazing
00:17 because a lot of times we don't get legitimacy.
00:20 I mean, sure, maybe people,
00:21 like it's always been okay to put nudes on Twitter
00:24 and to put, you know, porn on Twitter,
00:27 but it's been kind of shadow banned,
00:29 but now I'm wondering if that's going to be lessened
00:32 as long as you would label it adult.
00:34 And it also sets the parameters, the rules for it.
00:37 Like it says, if you label it adult,
00:39 it's okay to have out there as long as, you know,
00:42 18 and over are enjoying it,
00:43 which is the way we want it to be,
00:44 the way the porn industry wants it to be.
00:46 It's been a lot of, you know,
00:48 bad people who come on there and do their own versions
00:51 of whatever illegal porn they have
00:53 that are making trouble for everybody.
00:55 So to say that like legal consensual porn
00:57 that is signed off on can be on Twitter is a big deal.
01:00 And I wonder if Twitter is going to go the way of OnlyFans.
01:05 - Well, that I actually wondered how will,
01:09 how will Twitter allowing porn officially affect OnlyFans
01:14 and their numbers?
01:15 Will it sway people to Twitter instead of OnlyFans?
01:20 Because on Twitter, it's free.
01:22 - Right.
01:23 - What is the draw or the help for you to post on Twitter
01:27 rather than OnlyFans?
01:28 Why would you throw away paid content?
01:31 - Well, I already post like stuff on Twitter,
01:33 like a certain amount of stuff.
01:35 - To draw people to your OnlyFans?
01:36 - To draw people to OnlyFans.
01:37 They're not gonna,
01:37 they're gonna get a full experience at OnlyFans.
01:39 - Sure.
01:40 - They're gonna get a personal experience.
01:40 They're gonna get, you know, custom videos.
01:43 They're gonna get photo sets and video sets
01:45 and all that stuff.
01:46 You're going to get a certain amount.
01:47 I don't think Twitter at this point,
01:49 like I think it's gonna be pretty much the same
01:51 of like the amount of time you can post.
01:54 And like, you're not gonna be posting
01:56 30 minute videos on Twitter for free.
01:58 - Right.
01:59 - You'll probably post three minutes of it
02:00 or something, two minutes of it
02:02 to get you over to OnlyFans.
02:03 - What's your message to Elon?
02:05 - Elon, I am so happy right now
02:07 that you have celebrated people of the adult industry,
02:11 people who want to post nudes and sex tapes as art,
02:16 which I do.
02:19 Somebody watching me.
02:20 (laughs)
02:21 - No, no, no, no.
02:21 - No, but I'm so happy that you are allowing for this
02:26 and legitimizing us.
02:27 And I really do thank you for this
02:29 in my little love note right now.
02:31 I'd love to speak with you more on this.
02:33 (laughs)
02:34 Let's have like a whole conversation platform
02:36 about the adult industry and X
02:39 and how we can come together.
