𝕏 / Twitter / X, the Social Media Platform Formerly Known as Twitter / "MUSK OWNS TWITTER"

I was wondering why they were panicking about the damn checkmark but the main theory is that the majority of them obtained it via paying Twitter staff big bucks or via nepotism, Twitter had a pseudo black market for the badge that Elon just killed , that is why you sometimes see weird 0 follower accounts that had the badge or literal nobodies like Gazi kodzo with it

Edit: unconfirmed but apparently its a entire mafia between Meta and Twitter, if you had the cash you could get verified easily even without any followers, so the smug ass "influencers" are super furious because their little exclusive club is now open business and the plebs can get the mark of prestige too without paying 15k to a idiot in Twitter/Meta HQ

If twitter does die or goes defunct, all the checkmarks who invested 10 years of their life to build their followers and follow rollodex will realize how much fucking time they wasted on a dead website.
Nah some Twitter-alternative will appear, and sanctioned by the powers-to-be (unlike those pesky Conservative alt-sites that needed to be undermined and shut down), the Left-Liberals will flock to it like they did with Resetera and form an inpenetrable/insufferable hugbox.

So long as they stay there, fine. It will make a great dairy for lolcows.
 
I bet that journoscum instance is going to go full Graf and defederate fucking everyone.
Whoever is running that instance is probably too retarded to figure out how federation works. Though it'll be hilarious to see those oven dodgers at the ADL attempt to shoah every single Fediverse instance that hurts journo fee fees.
 
If they can afford $15K and they should easily be able to pay the $8 idiot tax.
They might be more annoyed by the fact that their big one-time purchase would cover 156-1/4 years at $8/mo. 15K is serious money, Eight bucks a month is something Joe sixpack can swing if he feels like it. As of whenever this rolls out, they way overpaid for a status symbol that won't be much of one anymore.

....Which will, as all of their extreme hugboxes do, eventually collapse into a hilarious dumpster fire as they succumb to paranoia and infighting, because they aren't as valuable as the powers that be were making them feel like they were, especially now.
 
If Musk was ignorant to the extent of the insanity of the tranny brigade before this, he must be having a sobering wakeup call. While I doubt he was ignorant to its existence, it is genuinely hard to grasp just how fucked they are until its dragged over your face, or dug outta the dark corners of the web like with us.
 
Sooo now we know why the bluechecks are so mad about the $8 fee: Turns out some of them paid up to 15K for it

And looks like we are starting to see how Musk plans to make money with Twitter - start fucking with YouTube

Status symbols, such as the checkmark, have been open to bribery in every culture and every ideological system on the planet. It is in no way surprising that deeply connected people within the "inner-circle" would pay a high price for such a gleaming sign of superiority.


What was Elon charging now, a whole $8? Well shoot, even my dumb, basic, blue-collar, common, boring, regular, quaint, Midwestern, non-connected, broke-ass could afford that, guess that makes me one of the beautiful people uwu.
