Indie maker tibomaker launched a sponsorship bidding product: anyone can bid on a sponsored post from any X creator starting at $100, with no registration or permission needed. Money is locked until the creator accepts (they post and get paid) or passes (full refund); bids are withdrawable anytime. One user reportedly spent $205 to get both @elonmusk and tibo to post about their product.
