They all already pay for one to own the libs.

But I'm pretty sure Johns McCain and McAfee got theirs free.

I SHOULD KEEP MY DUMB MOUTH SHUT INSTEAD OF SPEWING HORSESHIT ABOUT THE ORBITAL MECHANICS OF THE JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT A LAGRANGE POINT IS?

Just to recap:

-Old Twitter used to verify notable accounts with a somewhat opaque process
-New Twitter makes it so you can just buy these
-They want to remove the old “unfair” ones so they add an alternate label for legacy vs Blue and warn the legacy ones are going away.
-Well, now that Blues are labeled as bought and paid for, they’re easy to cross reference and target for mass blocking and laughing at
-they finally remove the legacy accounts, so now ALL Blues are much more easy to target for laughs
-#blocktheblue points out how hilariously easy it is to laugh at and block Blues
-Musk realizes the community has realized the check now ONLY means you’re an idiot, so he desperately starts adding Blues to people to dilute the Blue pool with “verified because notable” Blues (still labeled with the paid verbiage)
-notable accounts are now verified through a somewhat opaque process

leading to the exiting exit from the full circle that brings us here:

-twitter users are desperately trying to remove their arbitrary blue check marks

patriarchy sucks
"Mormon" is currently trending because of people comparing Elon's gifting of posthumous checks to the Mormon practice of baptising the dead.

We know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road. They get run over.
Next step is Elon sending invoices to everyone with a blue check and recording it as accounts receivable on Twitter's (X's?) balance sheet.

Rush deleted his account when Trump was banned, and then died (lol).

The Cain Gang is currently checkless (sad).

I guess also a part of this is that the chuds and musksuckers can now turn the “This mf paid for twitter!” ridicule back at the people who had blue checks forced on them.

They know it’s not true that these people paid, but of course it’s part of the “I’m lying, you know I’m lying, and I’m enjoying that you know I’m unashamedly lying” power-trip thing the entire right wing does.

Musk decided to prematurely launch a rocket from a low budget launch site resulting in the destruction of both and yet that still isn't the worst business decision he made this week.

Nah, Elon's still the big loser here - his blue check was such a massive flop that people are going out of their way to disassociate themselves from it.

I don’t even know if it’s possible to know the truth of their advertising situation these days.

But I’d bet there are a lot of companies advertising on there whose leadership, having already felt ill at the thought of running ads on that cesspool, are looking at the events of the past couple days and seriously questioning their choices.

I really doubt, unless Musk puts out actual data revealing this, that any of the major ad buyers have returned after all of Musk's bad decision making and any new gains are mostly smaller scammers mostly.
