There's no reason for them to. There's no such thing as verified identities anymore. The only reason would be for the algorithm to surface their stories more often in For You. But in my experience, even though I follow a bunch of lefties on Twitter, NYT stories never get pushed to me unless someone retweets them or it's a paid tweet (this applies to all news outlets). They would be better served to take that $1,000/mo and just pay for individual tweet sponsorship.

Now let's not be too negative here. Musk could totally turn things around - he would just have to hire additional experts, listen to them, and apply their recommendations. Also it would help if he wasn't Elon musk.

Elon musk walking into the server room at twitter hq trying to recoup money by stealing the gold off the ram contacts, confident twitter will still work fine thanks to its robust and improved architecture.

Musk is rapidly eliminating any reason for businesses to even have a presence on Twitter. This includes breaking the social media management tools that would let it continue out of inertia.

They just failed to get a hate speech suit thrown out in Australia. I do like their "We're based in Delaware and are only beholden to Delaware laws" defense attempt

If it cost the New York Times the standard $7 for their whole organization to get a blue check it would still be a bad investment. It's the mark of a sucker, it should be rejected even if offered for free.

Oh no, blatantly attempting to extort companies into paying a ridiculous monthly price so they don't get impersonated (impersonation protection not actually guaranteed) didn't work as well as Elon thought? Well that's unexpected! Thank god all those advertisers are returning in droves

Listen, I've been around a bit, you know, and I thought I'd seen some creepy things go on in the movie business, but I really have to say this is the most disgusting thing that's ever happened to me.
one of our kids is watching a PBS Kids show called "Ready, Jet, Go" and I just overheard part of an ep where they were stuck in their (space) vehicle, arguing with the onboard AI about downloading an update to the dashboard software to make it work again

this really feels like an extremely, extremely thinly veiled swipe at Tesla

e: I don't think this is the same episode but it's a similar joke
