Here's how Musk could have dealt with SMS 2FA costs on Twitter without
putting current users at risk:
1) Announce that starting on such-and-such a date (at least 30 days in
the future, let's say) new Twitter accounts cannot use SMS 2FA. This
will result in fewer and fewer accounts using SMS 2FA over time by
attrition. This change would NOT affect existing accounts already
depending on SMS 2FA.
and ...
2) Announce that as an incentive if you switch from SMS 2FA to a
different SMS system (auth codes, security key) you will receive a
year of Twitter Blue at no charge. Once you switch off SMS 2FA you
can't turn it back on.
