It is absolute chaos on Twitter today. First, Musk went around giving ticks to various critics who had said they did not want a tick.

Then he decides to give a tick to everyone with more than a million followers. This is the new tick that claims you bought it. So it's a false endorsement. Pictured below.

And yes, it includes everyone that has died.

@Arkenor Not sure why I am surprised, but it seems like another example where 1 person thinks he can solve every problem (only to find out things are usually complicated or nuanced)
