I'm honestly pretty convinced that this was, at the very least, the start of all this. If not the actual reason

Unlike Trump, Elon is only wrecking a lovely website that deserves to die instead of a whole country and the rest of the world by extension.

The overwhelming negative response to paid verification may be starting to sink in just a little bit

He then follows up that it isn't about money actually it's about those darn bots

Musk has absolutely no clue what to do now that he's got this in his grasp.

Basically Elon Hubbard is trying to kill two birds with one stone, eliminate bots and bring in revenue. He must think this is the most brilliant idea he ever came up with.

The best part is he's already eliminating anyone who could critique his decisions, which is a sure sign that its gonna crash and burn and it'll be specifically his fault.

Exactly. And he should know because most of his posts get boosted by Elonstan bots.

He doesn't have a clue what the problem is but he thinks he can solve it.

Also as presented being verified isn’t necessary. Being verified is just a “cool” bonus

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
We've come from "make sure no one knows who u are on the web" to "pay to make sure everyone knows who u are"

I've had a theory for a while that Elon might have been a goon at some point. He's the right age and reflects all the goonish stereotypes. Okay, goons think every nerd favored celebrity is one of them, but I really got goon vibes off of him.

This post made me realize he's trying to implement a SA style payment filter to deal with the riff raff.

He absolutely has to have been, at least briefly. I assume he got banned for something really dumb too like asking for warez in GBS.
