About that Twitter blue check debacle and Elon trying to strong arm legacy users into paying for them...

His tactics got exactly *3% of power users* to subscribe *AFTER* he threatened to take away approximately 420,000 users' verified blue checkmark badges ....LOLLLLL

"genius" Rocket Man.....

Twitter failed to scare legacy verified accounts into paying for Twitter Blue

These bleak numbers might be why Twitter checkmarks were merged.

Taibbi is such a hack. Lying blatantly on Twitter and Substack is a lot easier than when you are confronted by an interviewer who is very good and asks pointed questions with receipts for all to see.

Watch him get schooled here by @mehdihasan

And then Taibbi corrected *3* of his tweets *AFTER* saying that he "stood by his reporting"

LOLLLLL

We live in the absolute *DUMBEST* timeline.

DOGE's Dramatic Dive After Twitter Logo Reversal: Has The Meme Coin Bubble Burst?

Dogecoin's (CRYPTO: DOGE) value took a dip on Thursday after Twitter seemingly reverted to its original blue bird logo, replacing the crypto's dog meme that had adorned the platform since Monday. Dogecoin's price dropped as much as 8.2% by 5:09 p.m. EDT, reaching $0.085, as per CoinGecko data. The plunge followed a 27% surge on Monday when Twitter CEO Elon Musk playfully suggested swapping the logo for the meme. Although Dogecoin's price...

Taibbi *demanded* to go on @mehdihasan show and got *ABSOLUTELY EMBARRASSED and HUMILIATED*, but like all grifters and charlatans, he's doubling down and claiming that he was "attacked" and that his "reporting" is accurate.

LOLLLLL..perfect time for this Dril tweet 👇🏾

We need Dril on Mastodon...

Detailed takedown of Taibbi aka #MattyDickPics by @emptywheel

"As to the factual dispute, there is none. #MattyDickPics and his Elmo-whisperer Mike Benz are wrong. The error stems from either an inability to read an academic methodology statement or the ethic among these screencap boys that says you can make any claim you want so long as you have a screencap with a key word in it."

This is what Elon and his paid "journalists" including Taibbi, Weiss and Shellenberger are doing, trying to discredit how central the orange 🤡is to election disinformation in the US all while racking up those Substack subs and 💵s

Matt Taibbi Is Furious that Election Integrity Project Documented How Big Trump's Big Lie Was - emptywheel

Taibbi's false claims about the Election Integrity Project have little tie to actual mis- or disinformation flagged during the election. Rather, his false claims serve to discredit a systematic measure of how central Trump is to disinformation in the US.

And here is @mmasnick with another devastating takedown of the lying, grifting Substack bro Taibbi aka #MattyDickPics

*"There remains no there there. It’s less than a Potemkin village. There isn’t even a façade. This is the Emperor’s New Clothes for a modern era. Taibbi is pointing to a naked emperor and insisting that he’s clothed in all sorts of royal finery, whereas anyone who actually looks at the emperor sees he’s naked."*

OK, so Taibbi who has been sucking up to Elon and posting his 💩"Twitter Files" has been told by Elon (saw this on Mastodon somewhere) that Substack notes is why tweets with Substack links in them are "down voted" and not getting engagement....LOLLLLL

This lying, grifting troll is now getting his face eaten by the leopard to whom he has been toadying upto for months now...LOLLLLL

My guess is that the lying, grifting bro will leave Twitter (dwindling interest in his "Twitter files" which won't allow him get more subscriptions on Substack via those "files") will be the reason..
