    Literally every single day we have idiots doing Musk’s PR work for free.

    Downvote Musk spam. The billionaire doesn’t need your help ensuring his businesses stay in the 24 hour news cycle.

      I hope at least that the kids these days are not signed up with twitter. It’s too late for the older generations

    To a request for comment, X only sent Ars an auto-response, saying, “Busy now, please check back later.” (To be fair, in this case “check back later” is a good summary of what happened.)

    Lol

    This is apparently an existing policy from Twitter, as The Intercept discovered after they posted their article:

    This article was updated to include information about a Twitter policy to temporarily remove checkmarks from verified accounts that change their profile pictures. Twitter offered only an auto-response to The Intercept’s request for comment ahead of publication. The article was previously updated to note that Twitter restored UAW’s Twitter verification after publication.

    Musk is an asshat, but it sounds like this is existing Twitter policy.

      That was an original policy when the check was only for verified accounts. It was to get ahead of a hacked , verified account.

      It shouldn’t matter for the suckers paying $7 a month.

      I’m not sure which group the UAW account fell into.

    Did Elon have his pubic hair grafted to his chin?

    He’s always going to run Twitter like it’s his own personal plaything. He’s incapable of understanding that what he purchased is not a toy put there solely for his enjoyment. It’s been ruined, he’s not going to get better, it would be best if everyone just left en masse and let it die like Reddit
