Because there’s nothing about $8 a month



I wasn't talking about cost, I was talking about verification.



You linked to the old policy. The new policy as announced by Musk is anyone can get a blue check mark by paying $8 a month.

Why do you argue about everything even when you clearly have no fucking clue what you’re talking about?



Once again, I never argued about the $8 cost.  I was saying they still have a verification system, and that's why your account might get deleted if you claim you're Elon Musk.

I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them.  I also attack my side if I think they're wrong.  People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

Any tech person can implement an $8 system.  If you're not joking, then you're just plain :wave:.

Except the people getting their accounts closed for impersonating Elon Musk are being told that they are inciting violence.

And now you just cant change your twitter name anymore if you're verified.

H3H3's account, clearly marked a parody, was permanently banned yesterday, one day after the parody account policy was instated.

Verified users could change their Twitter names before. Now they cannot. That's why Kathy burns is still Kathy Boo-urns, a week after Halloween.

They still have a verification system because musks announced policy hasn’t been implemented. As far as anyone can tell once the $8 policy is implemented, they won’t actually be verifying people. You can just pay for an account to get a blue check.

They are still banning people who clearly indicate it’s a parody account, but only people who are parodying musk.

The name change rule was implemented immediately with no notice and now people are stuck with whatever goofy name they were using this morning

Despite having good sales, Tesla stock has lost more than half its value since musk starting behaving like an unstable fool. He’s gonna end up tanking his other companies. He already will need a source of funding to cover the massive losses Twitter is going to rack up and musk is solely responsible for covering and musk is notoriously cash poor, which means he’ll have to unload even more Tesla shares.

.... even though I am twit-like, never been on/posted on da twitter. The links that have brought me there..... I dont see what's the hoopla about, but I am not cool anymore so there's that.

Musk has created a clusterfuck for himself. IF he  makes a substantial success and/or profit, homeboy is the chosen one.

Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

I'm guessing he's just hoping this will all blow over by next year. And he might be right.

It is funny that people are starting to shit on Tesla owners, calling Teslas "drivable MAGA hats". Rivian is probably having a good week.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are a lot of newly registered accounts for propaganda purposes.  Whether there are a lot of new users, however, is a different question.

Free speech!



Free speech, bro. He's bringing it back.



Maybe you guys don't understand the concept of 'verified accounts'?  :shrug:



That's part of the Twitter TOS, correct? Except that, for example, Donald Trump was similarly banned for TOS violations, yet wasn't that considered an attack on free speech by you?

Just another one of your many inconsistent arguments of convenience.

No, not 'similarly' banned.

You're confusing freedom to voice one's opinion with a verified account, with censorship of content objectionable to Twitter.

People currently being banned by Elon Musk are reporting that they are being banned for violating rule 1 in the TOS. This was the exact same TOS violation that got Trump banned.

They are literally being given the exact same reason for being banned.

Elon preserving free speech one ban at a time. Any day now the advertisers will return and the business model will not be a house of cards. Of course, even with the advertisers it was a house of cards...
