Can we have a limit on the number of twitter post in a day. I really don't care.

The problem is that the amount actual people want to pay for being verified is less than the amount trolls want to pay to get to troll

It’s amazing to me how hubris just destroys people so quickly and thoroughly.
Money = Power. Power corrupts absolutely.

Good news is the Elon fanboys are forced to watch him fail at basics. It won't convert them all but his "cool" factor is dropping.
GAMESTERofLOVE12
He looks like a bunch of rotting meat pushed into human skin..
SugarSmack
He's making money while taking away the means to discern sources of credibility. Making it even harder to tell propaganda from truth.
Yes. This is the real damage he's inflicted

Just one more train should clear the track!

If only he has staff to help monitor all of these fake accounts… oh. Wait

It's literally not a verified anything anymore.

It is verified, people (maybe) who used to have 8 bucks.

Oh it's a verified shitshow.

Welp, noones going to top that.

They had staff to do that. That staff has been fired.

It was harvested from poorly performing Twitter employees
rubypilgrim
meanwhile he told employees to show up in person today or they're fired. He apparently doesn't know there are laws against that. Also -
muttered something about taking Twitter into bankruptcy. What a loser.

So what’s the current difference between the blue and white checks? I have no idea which is bought anymore.
TheMouseOfMadness
He was too stupid to understand what the blue ones were for, so he started selling them to anyone, the white ones are his genius idea to >
do exactly what the blue checks were doing before he fucked with them. He also took those away for a while after being made fun of for it.
So INNOVATIVE
albester
Don't forget that he fired the people who made sure the blue checks did what they did so now there is nobody to make the white ones work.
Feralkyn
Wait, really? Please tell me there's *source* that he fired that, SPECIFIC subset of staff. Not to laugh at their misfortune but fuck me,
that'd be so darkly hilarious.
Yes, he fired verifiers: https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-fired-twitter-staff-verify-politicians-ahead-of-midterms-2022-11

$44 billion down the gurgler.
If it makes it that long. My guess is that he'll sell it long before then.

Bargain basement price or fire sale

A head of lettuce stayed fresh for longer than Liz Truss, former British PM, stayed in office. There was a live stream of the lettuce.

I'm hoping lawsuits start to happen. If I'm paying you for to be verified do I have to deal with this?

Although hilarious way to stick it to Elon, fuck I’d feel bad for struggling diabetic Americans seeing that tweet and thinking it was real.

I read that Musk used Tesla stock as collateral to buy Twitter and if it tanks so does Tesla, which is why car companies pulled ads 1/
Something like $3.1 B worth. Saudis gave him a loan for some of it
But that makes me wonder if car companies are actively participating in Twitter's downfall. I wonder if they're doing any trolling
At minimum they pulled their ads off Twitter
BritishGingerLefty
Haha this is how you get them to take notice. Maybe some oil companies announce net zero for next year.

Wonder if someone made a fake Putin account, got it verified and tweeted a unilateral surrender how fast this feature would be gone.

Why not have oil companies announce that they 'accidentally made too much money' and that they're offering a rebate for petrol receipts
