@globalmuseum Killing Twitter was always his investors aim.It was an easy organizing place for Dems. Only Elmo thought he could make money off it. They deliberately flattered his ego and said sure Elmo you can sell Dogecoin to the punters & they will spend it buying #BlueCheckMarks from a #BlueCheckRat. I have screenshots of his stupid plan. #Musk #Twitter
🤣 🤣 🤣
@lolgop Great article & I so agree! Buying Twitter was totally about defeating Biden. Granted Musk was flattered into thinking he could sell Dogecoin to the punters & then have them use that to buy #BlueCheckMarks. He legit thought he’d make money & the investors didn’t care as long as Dem online grassroots infrastructure was destroyed. I’m so glad I left & got #Ratified here in the #Fediverse. Jack’s #BlueSky was just to further fragment those who fled Twitter. #Musk #Biden #USPol #Vote

So, they're giving the checks to people who don't want it and won't let them hide it. Sounds like they're trying to make the Blue Check a positive thing in the eyes of the public, not a stain like it is now.

X won’t let users hide their blue checks anymore

X will no longer allow users to hide their blue checks, regardless of whether they paid for premium or not.

How many people in #infosec are worried that @elonmusk is just gonna date the #Telegram or #Signal or #Discord Chief Privacy Officer for repopulating his #MarsExpidition .....

or perhaps @finkd's
#CryptoBucks PM is getting an eye on them....

Perhaps they are just helping his #GFY #Web3IsGoingGreat 'kitchen sink' #PrivateEquity devalue his loan to remix the alt-riechtZ 'help build back the Berlin wall of #BlueCheckMarks ' on #Xittler as a pivot? 🤔

@dgoldsmith @skykiss I’ve told people all along that the Saudi $ behind #Musk was using him. He’s a convenient racist creep just like #tRump They’re both easily led by their inflated egos & desire for power. Musk actually thought he was going to sell idiots #Dogecoin & have them use that to buy #BlueCheckMarks & thru that he was going to make money & keep Twitter going. All the Saudis wanted was to destroy the place liberals had built to organize. #USPol #USPolitics

It's weird to me how the #BlueCheckmarks mock him for what sounds to me like his genuine feelings on diversity.

16) Yup that’s a real good look for #Twitter. So much for the virtue of #BlueCheckMarks. Now that designation has become a symbol for #disinformation

Twitter Blue accounts fuel Ukraine War misinformation

False and misleading claims about the war in Ukraine are being widely shared.

@kingbeauregard @opalium I have screen shots of Musk’s big plans for #Twitter. He had people working to sell Dogecoins to the GOP punters & use them to buy #BlueCheckMarks. Then Bitcoin crashed. He def had plans to make Twitter Nazi friendly but thought he could make $. His Saudi backers (aligned w/ Putin’s goals) just want it destroyed as a place for Dems to organize.They used his colossal ego to manipulate him into the deal. Personally I prefer my Mastodon #BlueCheckRat
I love the complete lack of #BlueCheckMarks on Mastodon
