The "elitist" portion comes from actually being that famous celebrity or billionaire or whatever. Pretending you're on equal ground by paying for a checkmark is incredibly stupid.

He's going to make a bunch of popular and celebrity accounts paid accounts so you can't use an automatic blue blocker because he is a moron.

The "elitist" portion comes from actually being that famous celebrity or billionaire or whatever. Pretending you're on equal ground by paying for a checkmark is incredibly stupid. It is literally magical thinking. They think manipulating the sign will manipulate the object being signified. They can identify a relationship between two things but they don’t understand or willfully ignore how that relationship works.

when they told elon ' we need a diverter' he thought they were talking about diverting advertisers away from twitter, not diverting exhaust away from the launch pad

Some dumb journalists took it as having privileges (when it’s just verification and faster mod response) and now a bunch of dumber people thought it was true.

The "elitist" portion comes from actually being that famous celebrity or billionaire or whatever. Pretending you're on equal ground by paying for a checkmark is incredibly stupid. I mean it's a confluence of a few things - the blue checkmark was a desirable status symbol precisely because you couldn't buy it with money, and while it ostensibly was just "this person is who they say they are" they only verified people who met a nebulous standard of notability and therefore having one meant you were (in some sense) A Real Boy falling into the same broad category of people as Lebron and Fortune 500 CEOs this was further complicated because the standards of verification had changed over time and there were a lot of random former buzzfeed journos/people who'd worked for small orgs/etc. who'd gotten verified early under less stringent notability standards and were getting some level of unearned cachet from the association, grandfathered members of a club most people had no chance of joining and since those grandfathered members also were, by temperament, probably disproportionately inclined to prolifically post takes that are antagonistic towards the particular brand(s) of bullshit peddled by Elon and his fans, it's not surprising that there was a strong impulse to own their posting enemies by breaking up the club, but everything beyond that is absolutely them/Elon not understanding how or why any of this works on a fundamental level
