followup on musk firing literally the entire japanese staff: tatsuki fujimoto, the author of chainsaw man, one of the most popular manga in the world with a currently airing anime, got his account banned because he made a joke about being seven years old, and twitter just went 'oh okay' and banned him for being underage, even though he had an actual checkmark and was the author of chainsaw man. he is currently trying to get his actual account restored but cannot because twitter's jp customer support doesn't exist and he can only get in touch with people who speak english.

ergo he is tweeting things like 'im really tatsuki fujimoto! please believe me!'

i made a thread for gathering up screenshots of funny verified tweets. i thought it would be cool to have an archive of them all in one place.

i've seen so many good ones go by in this thread over the past few days, and i know i missed a bunch. feel free to cross post any you find to that thread. i doubt twitter can survive this rate of verified fakes for very long, either the site will implode or they'll be forced to turn the feature off, so enjoy this comedy bonanza while it lasts.

Can't get no luck.


Bit late on this, but no a twitter shitposter did not make a significant difference to Eli Lilly's company value.

Yeah it looks like a lot on a 5-day timescale on a graph with a false-zero but look:



That's the stock's performance over the last year. It's still up 35% on the last year and the dive is a very small blip which will likely bounce back.

Generally, whenever you see headlines about a "big stock sell off!" or "largest 1-day drop for [stock]" have a look at the graph yourself, look at a longer timeline than they're showing you, and it's usually gone up like 20% in the last week and then dropped 10% in a day or whatever and made out to be some huge catastrophe.

Still funny, though.

I have an explanation for this: the man cannot post, he simply cannot. at all. He can’t even pull off an :actually: “burn”

This motherfucker could have solved world hunger (several times over, supposedly) instead of lighting 44b of his own money on fire to be the mod of twitter and he’s posting (badly) about how it’s cool and good that Eli Lilly is raping people to death on the cost of insulin

44b could have bought a lot of people insulin for a very long time, even at Eli Lilly’s exorbitant prices!

I will never understand how Elon saying he could've solved world hunger for a fraction of the money he threw into the twitter incinerator, but didn't, is not a common talking point in this whole thing

I love when Bitcoin has been dropping $1000 a day for 3 days and then one day it goes up by $400 and all the Coiner sites have headlines saying "Bitcoin soars!" or whatever


^---- Yeah if Musk really wanted adoration, he could do a lot of good with all that money but he doesn't. Maybe he will have a change of heart one day. no, lol

now don't get me wrong, i'm not saying we should all go to truth social, but let's not rule out sean hannity's bulletin board either.
