So, how long until he backtracks again, and restores legacy verification badges in some form or another?

He'll probably replace them with doges or some other epic meme.

He’s so loving dumb and his fragile ego means he can’t admit the common practice for space rocket launches for decades is better than his stupid ideas so he’s gonna slap a giant slab of metal underneath it and spray it with some hoses. Really glad we’re paying this stupid rear end in a top hat billions of tax dollars to not even be able to reinvent what our public institutions did over have a century ago

Pretty sure that Robert Goddard had figured out the whole, "How not to destroy your own launchpad" thing back in the 1920's.

:qq: You dumb celebrities have to pay for the checkmark or else it’s just me and people like me who have them and people will think it’s a loser mark then!

I'm curious if there's gonna be a mass exodus of twitter blue guys next month after they realize that it's not going to signify what they thought it would. I mean sure, outright scammers will still have good reason to subscribe, but the guys who thought it would bring them a sense of legitimacy and prestige have got to get tired of all the bullying after a while

edit:
imagine reading THIS headline from THIS publication and not having your eyeballs just roll out of your head. and there are SO MANY people who will feel that way!

the launch pad will be made of wood, that way there won't be any need to clear the rubble away when building the next one.

1 to 12 = months until Boca Chica is ready for the next launch
8 = months until FSD robotaxis for sure
3 to 5 = years X, the everything app, has been accelerated
1776 = needs to commence again

Yeah I was gonna post about that. Any famous person who isn’t paying for the sucker mark ends up with replies like this that are at the top of any of their tweets since Twitter blue payers get shunted to the top in replies:

Kind of a hard sell to any notable person to even stick around your social media site, let alone pay for it, when their main experience now to anything they post is hundreds of unhinged Muskites and Nazis calling them heretics and blasphemers for not giving Elon money
