This number is so comically low I almost don’t believe it:
Only 28 people signed up to keep their blue check after removal? Are we to assume that all the MAGA shitheads who are now ride-or-die for Elon all already signed up for Blue awhile ago?
My maga brother did as soon as he could.
lol this is so well said:
Yep that really hits the nail on the head.

Seems problematic to let an Elon Musk company be responsible for policing itself
dril insulted the blue checks so it appears it is now someone’s job at Twitter to keep manually giving him one, even though him changing his display name might trigger some automatic thing that removes it?
There’s no universe in which Twitter avoids some form of bankruptcy at this point, correct?
Elon is personally on the hook so bankruptcy is meh.
Dril troll game can’t be touched
“This ad is probably a scam but instead of take it down we are going to cash their check and let you click on this hellasus link”
By my math Elon is bleeding about $1 billion - $1.5 billion per month on twitter. I realize he’s very rich but this shit can’t go on forever.
once elon goes broke maybe we can get bezos to buy it and drain 1.5B/month from his hoard too
I thought he did his big Tesla sell off to cover the margin loan?
He never did the margin loan. He owes (I think) $14 billion to banks at roughly 12% interest. Twitter is not profitable, so he has to fund all that debt service personally. I think.
Also the banks have been unable to sell the debt so he might stop paying then offer to just buy the debt back from them at some point.
Is he actually starting a war with drill? What madness is this?
Dril keeps changing his handle to lose the blue check mark he doesn’t want, lololol
this is the cost of free speech
