Notice how he's defining verification as pertaining to journalists, not public figures more generally.

That's nutty, first of all, bc one of the values that pre-Elmo Twitter had was its utility for journalists.

Way to kill more value, boss.

@emptywheel another Musk grade comedic error. He’ll be lucky if he doesn’t end up getting sued by actual verificati, and in the meanwhile, trolling will go hog wild, with no punishment unless they’re trolling poor little Eloi.
