The Elon Musk Twitter shitshow

Lol at Musk offering to comp subs for celebs & athletes. Huge nerd trying to hang out with the cool kids energy.
Was it a copyright violation? Why jump to spurious conclusions based on anonymous assertions?
...almost like some Russian or Chinese oligarch has some video of him ****ing underage girls....
Why is this a problem? Are there consumer protection laws against making false claims like this?
It’s an interesting question. A company sending someone freebies wouldn’t be an issue, but then publicly releasing ads with names or images w/o consent implying they’re users of your product would seem inappropriate. Misappropriation, likely?
Seems the issue for Twitter is giving a checkmark for celebrities implies they are on board with the change or are endorsing Twitter. Not sure if I can think of another parallel or if it’s actionable but doesn’t feel right.
There’s also an issue that he told everyone they were doing away with legacy blue checks and everyone would have to pay going forward. That’s obviously not the case.
For about 99.9% of the population, paying for Twitter Blue is the equivalent of taping a "kick me" sign to your own back like back when bullying was more wholesome
So, you're still on the Elon fan boy train?
You still think the blue check is caviar even with Elon himself smearing it around as if it's shit?
Kind of the ultimate loser/cuck symbol.
And Elon has apparently altered the algorithm so that the blue check losers are now given priority to be at the top of replies to posts. That's where Phenom got his sick burnnnnnnn of Krugman.
You can get a good sample of the wit/quality of the folks paying for the blue checks from that Krugman thread.
I don't think there's any legal problem at all, Elon owns twitter and he can do anything he wants with it.
The posts about the ghost accounts are just making fun of Elon. Hell, Elon himself now is treating the blue check as a loser rather than a status symbol.
I bet maybe Elon's fan boys and the Dave Portnoy types who paid cash money for their blue checks maybe would have liked to be warned in advance where he was going with this? Is a real Trump type move though, stabbing your own suckups in the back.
