Robert ReichElon Musk's giving out Twitter Blue for free. Experts say this could mean legal trouble https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2023-05-03/elon-musk-giving-out-twitter-blue-for-free-legal-trouble
David@rbreich Elon has changed the Twitter Blue message to “This account is verified” to get around the previous lie that they “are subscribed to Twitter Blue and verified their phone number.”
Devil Doll, Esq.It's almost as if doing illegal things isn't a concern for the wealthy. 🤷♂️
Stanley Grill, Composer@rbreich You invest a lot of time and energy posting about Elon Musk. He’s not worth it. That’s why many are here on Mastodon. So we don’t have to see or think about him.
ehurtley 
@rbreich I wonder if any NCAA athletes have been gifted blue checks my Musk? That would count as a disqualifying benefit, wouldn’t it? Musk’s want for acceptance could harm student athletes.
Mathias@rbreich 44 Billion, and he still can't do whatever he wants.
It's true, money can't buy you happiness.
nick coleman@rbreich this is part of the reason people like me are leaving twitter.
Midwest Bob@rbreich He’s such a loser.
Rick Mycroft@rbreich A modest proposal for Elon Musk:
Charge a sliding scale for Twitter based on number of followers. Have a cap for free users, and if someone doesn’t pay, switch off their followers down to the cap.

A modest proposal in the Swiftian sense for those billionaires is for them to stop the pretense and just get laws passed that we have to pay our taxes directly to them and then #ELoon wouldn't have to try to figure out how to recoup the money he threw away buying a toy.

Panamint@rbreich Musk is an impetuous and flippant nincompoop controlled by very scary Earthlings.
Aleprechaunist@rbreich I'm beginning to think Musk is as much a business genius as Dotard N. Lump...
Woodchaz@Woodchaz I'll check it out, thanks!

It takes a few episodes to get into it, but if you make it to the one with the airlock scene you won't regret it.

FroggyMcTickles@rbreich I can’t be the only one that sees anything with “experts say” on it and immediately dismisses it. “Experts” have been saying that Trump’s going to jail. “Experts” have been saying that the Republican Party is going to implode on itself, etc. I’m not saying that they’re immediately wrong. Shit, I hope they’re right. But at this point in time, it just comes off like click bait at best. Speculation doesn’t help when politicians are unwilling to hold anyone in power accountable.
@rbreich Considering the, Bush.Blair.Broadcasting CONpany' Have been disiniforming & allowing seditious Propoganda for ages & defrauding the TV PollPoTaxed for it. Someone should've taken said Militant Nhilists Disinformation Racketeers. For rigging the last ElectCon to Trial.
