Lol, without his handlers to keep his stupid ideas in check he really is outing himself as an absolute idiot
Why anyone stays on twitter is beyond me. Musk is turning it into something toxic, akin to parler or truth social, and he's making decisions regarding it like it's his private BBS or a toy to be played with capriciously.
Twitter is still a thing? Color me surprised. It won’t be much longer.
Also, FUCK Elon Musky
I heard that Twitter originally added verification because they were getting sued over imposters, so they added verification to delegitimize imposters and thus give less reason for others to sue them.
Now Musk is getting rid of verification en masse, so the original reason for the lawsuits will return.
Here's how to play it if you're a business who loses your Twitter verification:
- Allow yourself to lose verification.
- Make a backroom deal with some random person, have that person make a fake account for your business and buy verification. Have the person post some bad things under the fake and verified account.
- Sue Twitter since they have verified the fake account and removed verification of the real account, and are thus committing libel.

Enshittification continues….
So what is stopping the companies from just paying the 9 bucks for the verified status and telling the muskrat to sod off?

What is this "Twitter" you speak of? Is it that dead blue bird?
"I just reinstated a pedophile. Now pay me to put your ads on my SHIT" ~Elon "fascists are my best and only friends" Musk
X.org is really stepping up their game eh?
Elon is fishing for suckers.
Wait, didn't the gold check marked brands have to pay exorbitant fees for the checkmark? Is that counting towards the $1000 per month or is that deal being replaced with this new one?
I'm no businessman but this sounds like a good way to make companies move away from your platform.
