@mmasnick It's bizarre how much of this kind of stuff inevitably happening was, like, entirely obvious to anyone who gave it a moment's thought. It's difficult to believe (1) Musk could make decisions of this sort with so little pause for reflection, and (2) no one is raising the likelihood of their occurrence with him. It's Steve Jobs's Reality Distortion Field taken all the way down its Leeroy Jenkins slippery slope.

@arossp @mmasnick Wait, am I to understand that the new verification system doesn’t involve any amount of identity verification?
