It's also the sort of thing that is going to reinforce global inequalities. Musk likes to shout that he bought Twitter for the sake of humanity and now he turning into the sort of thing that is only accessible to people with $100 to spend every year on social media. Not necessarily a big deal for folks in developed nations with plenty of disposable income, but the majority of humanity isn't going to be able to afford this.
Because that’s not what it’s about it. He’s pandering to his new fan base who don’t like most of the people (especially in the media) that have blue checks. Hardly any these new fans will subscribe but they’ll get pleasure thinking Musk is sticking it to those nasty blue check elites they hate.
First screenshot isn’t proof, it’s a news ‘source’. Might as well be made up.
Sorry if it hurts your feelings that your billionaire idol sucks at business. Without American tax payers propping him up he’d have to go back to getting apartheid money from daddy .

I tend to agree. My next question is, how will they verify it's "you" and not someone paying for their bot/spambot, etc?
Haters tend to write more than lovers. It's like how people on Yelp for a business tend to be louder when they complain than giving a positive review.Tesla Delivers Record-Setting 343,830 Cars In Q3 2022
Tesla has just released its Q3 2022 production and delivery report, so the numbers are now in. See how Tesla fared this quarter right here.
4 year old data. Omega lol. Again. Why are the Elon haters typing more than the Elon lovers? LOL
I see the Elon critics are stalking his profile more than me. Working as intended.
Nobody gives a rip about being verified. It doesn’t cost anything to use Twitter, it’s still free without the blue check, that again, nobody with a reasonable sized ego cares about.
That’s been very obvious in this thread. Over a social media website nonetheless.
Ironically, I actually think that fanbase will sign up for a blue check extremely quickly.
I'm not ignoring it, I'm openly celebrating it. The blue check as a status symbol needs to die. It was always silly. People with 5,000 followers had blue checks because of the connections they had in the company or because they had the "right" political opinions, while accounts with 200K followers were unverified because they had no connections or had the "wrong" political opinions.
There's been a huge surge in users since the news of the purchase broke.
It was always a violation of twitter's terms of service and remains so. Several accounts were permanently suspended from the platform earlier tonight for pulling this stunt.
I'm sorry, but that's hilarious! Twitter, reliable, media, values!
