for today's news, consummate crybaby loser Elon Musk repeatedly forced a verification checkmark on renowned twitter user dril, after dril made a series of tweets making fun of twitter blue subscribers and promoting the #blocktheblue hashtag.

dril was never verified, even before the verification system update. elon's use of applying the verified status on dril is explicitly a punishment and attempted mockery from the viewpoint of somebody with over one hundred billion dollars to his name.

also, forcing somebody to apparently endorse a product or service you are selling against their will is illegal.
