I'm glad Elon is failing with Twitter lol.
he tried to get out of it but has accepted its mess. hes trying to find other ways to generate revenue, 90% of twitters revenues come from ads. its going to be tough to make that up without destroying it in the process. hes done a great job devaluing the checkmark so far

It's really gonna get interesting when folks start impersonating politicians and their constituents start holding the real ones accountable for promises made by the fake accounts
maga is gonna get finessed by fake political candidates, fake accounts belonging to judges and sheriffs looking for campaign donations.

Myself and my own.

Part of the reason why I think he's going this route. He'll make some money but it will blow up in his face ultimately since any previous success was without true notoriety and without true competition. He has both (assuming BlueSky launches soon) and all of that will be hard for him to shake.

So all the old blue checks have turned white until they pay to get a blue checkā€¦ nice way to differentiate
