the fact that elon is paying for twitter blue over and over just to make it look like celebrities and public figures are buying into it is hilarious
you can’t make this up
i’m also seeing a lot of people who Didn’t pay for twitter blue also getting checkmarks, so either people are sponsoring their checks or the legacy verification is being reinstated under the [super misleading] “this person paid for twitter blue” notice
musk is currently in a forced-checkmark standoff with dril (who keeps changing his display name to get rid of it) and it’s possibly the only thing worth watching play out on twitter right now
“Offered a complimentary subscription” is an interesting way to say they were checkmarked without their knowledge and against their will. Does he know what ‘offered’ means?
also it might be illegal! it could be considered a false endorsement by forcing it on celebrities to make them advertise it against their will
