elon still doesnt seem to grasp that no one wanted the blue checkmark, they wanted what it symbolizes: that twitter backs up that they are who they claim to be

reducing it to a shiny piece of flair removed all that

The right wing circus doesn’t see the blue check as just a “not a fake” though, they see it as a special highlight that they don’t get. Like a “TRUTH HERE” banner that only the libs have access to.

It’s clear Elon thinks it’s that too

my dead grandfather fights better than you
I remember seeing a review of the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies that criticized the Jonathan Price villain character as being so clearly out of his gourd and recklessly impulsive that it strained plausibility that he would have ever become a world renowned media/tech mogul in charge of some of the most influential international news sources

elon musk is basically the most famous rodeo clown in history now. The dude's stock tanked after a split and he had to sell $4billion of it. Think about that.

Authoritarians are obsessed with signs of authority and hierarchy so they project those feelings onto the blue check mark/verified accounts and get mad about how they think they're better than everyone else

Tbh if I expected them to turn off purchasing Blue from anything it would be the iOS and android apps to avoid paying apple and google their App Store taxes and boost revenue.

If Twitter’s backend stays alive long enough I’m guessing Elon ends up in a fight with one or both of them next year.

It's not actually editing. You can undo posting a tweet for like a few minutes is literally all it is. You can't edit something that was already posted. It's exactly how it operates now when you delete a tweet except it just copies the body of the tweet into a new message for you. This was pre-Musk and was dumb as poo poo then, too.
