Chris TrottierWho loves buying Twitter blue checks? The Taliban.
This would have been unimaginable a year ago, yet here we are now.
Mind you, blue check status was always a terrible status symbol. It's just more terrible now.
The funniest aspect is how the Taliban is literally praising Elon Musk, saying he's "making Twitter great again".
What an endorsement!
If I were to do an anti-Twitter ad campaign, I'd put a full page ad in the New York Times that says:
Twitter: Loved by the Taliban
Then I'd put in real quotes from top Taliban officials about how much they love the service.
Tafkak@atomicpoet you’d attract more MAGA to twitter
@tafkak MAGA already owns Twitter. What we need is everyone else off Twitter.
The Spoonless Kitchen@atomicpoet @tafkak This is the correct answer. For whatever reason, governments just don't want to do it. Looking at you #cdnpoli.
