iirc the $1 billion thing was a contractual penalty if musk couldn't raise financing. since he's the world's wealthiest person that wasn't ever really going to happen

so there are hundreds of thousands of verified accounts right, they must have gone and manually un-officialed the ones they don't like?

This does not surprise me.

I received a similar email for a report where someone decided to say hateful things to transgender people two days ago

It was absolutely disgusting.

Twitter moderators decided that no, no that didn't break any of the rules. They helpfully included what actions do break those rules in their email to me

And if anyone hasn't reported anything on Twitter, it's a giant pain in the rear end. It's like 8 steps. I am 100% certain some exec is patting themselves on the backs because it reduced load on the moderator team meaning they could reduce projected headcount by 10%.

same happened recently when i reported someone for posting blatantly antisemitic images at users with jewish sounding names. the flagging part ran like poo poo, too, which is weird because it's just a list of posts and replies like… the timeline?

I'm sure elon also demanded to be able to click it on/off on any account, i can't wait for the first cases of checkmark #2 disappearing mysteriously after someone made fun of him

They stayed up all night for "blue check for $8 a month" which is staying (so far)

What he just killed was the "official"-tag, which was announced less than 24h ago, presumably to counter the problem of noone being verified any more.

yeah, it's the same team. the official tag was their solution to mitigate some of the damage that elon was ordering them to do by removing the verification component of the blue check.



but hey it looks like esther has decided that she'll eat poo poo on this and pretend it's great

Every day I catch up with the couple hundred posts of whatever the hell stupid thing Elon has done today, and every day it's somehow managed to find a whole new boundary of stupid to break. When will it stop getting even more stupid?
