Musk Unveils Plan To Charge $8 Monthly Fee For Twitter Verification

[Earl]

Let’s be clear.

The 100% far left monopoly that Twitter had on political discourse is gone.

Musk has said that he is doing this so that the marketplace of ideas is open to everyone and that he loves mankind.

Until he proves this to be wrong, I prefer to believe him.

The left is going bat crazy because the right will be heard on Twitter. President Trump was banned but not the murdering leader of Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism.

This is ending as we speak.

LOL. A mentally healthy man would not troll a US Congresswoman. The man is a sick fuck, who wants to play, "god".

So a mentally healthy Congress woman trolling a "mentally ill" man on the internet is OK? You "logic" escapes me.

Your last three words are correct.

Indeed.

Convoluted logic is all he ever has.

He isn’t called “Lurch” for nothing.

Pretty soon they will have to wear disguises to drive their Teslas.

Do you ever contribute something useful?

Your last three words are correct.

So you think it's OK to troll mentally ill people. How come you don't troll Lurch.

AOC wasn't trolling Elom Munk.

Should he have said

Should he have said

Might as well. Posting retarded memes contributes nothing of value.

Twitter’s new owner on Tuesday indicated the social media giant will soon charge users $8.00 per month for a blue verification badge.

Initially the price was more for the "Lords" at $20.

Twitter's new "Chief Twit" Elon Musk is reportedly considering making verification a Twitter Blue feature, while simultaneously quadrupling the subscription service's cost. This would essentially mean charging users a monthly $20 fee to keep their blue tick badge.

Predictably, many users have indicated they'd rather just be unverified.

I admittedly don't know the full workings of Twitter but to AOC's claim that free speech costs $8, no one is prevented from tweeting if they don't have a blue check mark correct? A blue check mark verifies you I guess, and gives you street cred, but a person's post is no different whether they are a blue check mark or not right?

Everyone knows about the blue check. It's supposedly to verify the accounts belong to real people. Clearly it doesn't work so I don't know how raising it to $20 then $8 helps.

Thanks for the bump. Twitter will miss you.

In other words, it won't work.

It's going to do exactly what it's intended to do

I could be speaking out of my *ss here but there are plenty of real people who tweet regularly but aren't given blue check marks. Thus the certain street cred level of having a blue check mark. (So yes it does signal the person is verified but it's not an option simply given to everyone.)
