i was on tumblr when yahoo had to sell it for $3 million after buying it for $1.1 billion. we were all a little bit responsible for losing yahoo a billion dollars. and with that type of collective effort, i believe we here on twitter can lose elon musk even more

Each era of twitter is first preceded by a nigh prophetic dril tweet and you never can tell which one it’ll be but it is really a fundamental law of this site

Boy genius, @Elonmusk, has verified Jamal Khashoggi's Twitter account, claiming "This account is verified because they are subscribed to Twitter Blue and verified their phone number." The Saudis murdered Khashoggi in 2018.

The account for Auschwitz clarifies they didn’t pay for Blue despite it being represented as such. Paid bluecheck with 100 followers has a top reply snarking at a CONCENTRATION CAMP MEMORIAL FOR NOT SUPPORT “FREE SPEECH” It’s just … you couldn’t imagine it in a marketing doc.

As a counter-argument to "People who pay for the blue check are nitwits", the response "People who pay for blue checks are like people who refused to get vaccinated" is maybe not the rhetorical counterstrike Joey Mannarino 🇺🇸 imagines it is.

So, how do all the Musk fanboys and MAGA folks on this site feel about the fact that your conquering hero said he’d bring ‘equality’ and ‘people power’ to this site and then charged you all for Twitter Blue while giving it to people like me for free? Do you feel… owned?

Tomorrow morning, shortly before 10 New York time, a horde of Assoc. Brand Managers are going to take a big sip of coffee before they review what happened on Twitter over the weekend.

I just saw I got a blue check again, because Elon Musk is a sad, thirsty clown. The few times I've posted on here since he bought Twitter have been to dunk on his awful management of this place. I want no part of his bullshit. Off to figure out how to get rid of the check.
